Kaleidoscopes

These single kaleidoscopes have become....

These... at the retreat where I had quiet and the ability to concentrate I finally was able to implement the setting I wanted for these lovely blocks. I think it looks pretty striking!


the background color and the stripe work well together. of course block out the light color of my design wall,

See retreats are a good thing, you get so much done

Clare is a model

Clare is spectacular in her new backpack. She will now be able to carry stuff on our walks, like keys, phone,camera, poop bags and of course some water. She loves it, just wishes it were pink,(her signature color)

This is my BFF L, she is so happy to be at our Quilting Retreat over the weekend. There was great food, many other quilters and lots of inspiration. hope we can go back next year

when a good dog goes bad

 Clare, my dog , is a great joy in my life,  But this is a picture of the aftermath of a period of time when I left to run errands this afternoon.  It has been rainy yesterday and today.  We took all the dogs to walk last evening but it was very short, because the lightening became too intense.  So this morning, no walk, this afternoon, high humidity and temp and then rain, so nobody got walked.  This is what happens when Clare goes too long with out a walk.

So the next time I say to anyone, "My dog ate it" I will refer them to these pictures. ]

'Nuff said, she is still a wonder dog! even if only to me.
