Do you ever have one of those weeks where you wish you could have stayed in bed and not get out? well … this has been that for me. One really nightmarish week at work trying to juggle agendas, keeping everybody happy, managing travel … grumpy people … and no sleep for me. For some…
Mine was full of different things and good accomplishments. I am glad to say that I am slowly getting back on track and finishing pieces, continuing others and starting new ones. It is always so exciting when ideas are swirling around in your head and you find the time to actually do something about them. …
As you can see from my post yesterday, the technical difficulties have been fixed and now I can attach photos once again. Don’t ask me what was wrong, because I don’t know. I emailed Eric and he fixed it. I thank my lucky stars for Eric and his magic fingers! So, finally I can post…
Yes! I did go!!! So very exciting. The nicest thing was that I got together with two lovely friends. Lisa flew from Ontario and Nan from Frankfurt (well, sort of as she was already vacationing in the UK), so the three of us met at the NEC in Birmingham. Nan arrived first and met with…
Good morning, Hope everyone had a great weekend. Mine was busy but good. I am enjoying my newly landscaped backyard. I will post some photos soon. I mowed the lawn yesterday and it didn’t take any time at all as I got rid of all the grass against the fence, and that made it easier. …
Good early morning from cloudy and rainy Calgary, Hope this finds everyone fine and enjoying the Summer months. It’s been busy here in Calgary … still recovering after the flooding, lots of work to be done. A few groups have been organized around town and surrounding areas to make and gather quilts to help those…
Good afternoon, It’s been a difficult day today and part of yesterday when the city went under emergency alert due to flooding. Both the Elbow River and the Bow River were extremely high, and expected to crest before midnight. That would cause them to overflow their banks. Low areas of the city went under alrt…
Finally, we have a break iin the weather. It’s a sunny 18 degrees right now. Went out for lunch with some people from work and it was a huge effort to come back to work, when all we wanted to do was sit outside in the sun. It’s been a long winter. Although I have…
Good morning everyone and a Happy Easter to you all. I had a visit from the Easter Bunny last week. He sat by my front door for hours, quietly watching … I was in Cleveland last week, taping 5 segments for QA TV Series 1200. And despite the snow and the cooler weather, it was…
Good morning from a somewhat sunny Calgary, We had a snowy weekend although I guess we shouldn’t complain as we had a mild February. Luckily, it gave me the chance to use that as an excuse to stay home and prepare for taping for QA TV next Monday, March 25th. I am doing 6 segments…
Good and snowy early morning in Calgary, Once again, I find myself in the need to apologize because I haven’t blogged in a long time. I cannot believe that it’s mid-March already! Where have the first two months of the year gone? But, just because I have not blogged, doesn’t mean I haven’t been doing…
From snowy and white Calgary! I just came back from the last of the supermarket runs in preparation for tonight. It’s starting to snow outside, and it’s very cold. The roads are very very icy and slippery, not a very good day for driving. But … it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! It…
I am here again. I had promised on my last blog to randomely choose a winner from the comments left on my blog for one of my pear pieces. Unfortunately, once again, because my computer was dying, the comments never showed! but now … I found them, so – because a promise is a promise…
Nowhere, really. Well, here and there for a while, Houston and Vancouver teaching … but other than that … here really, working away. The problem is that my poor laptop was slowly and very painfully dying so it wouldn’t allow me really to do much of anything other than read my email. So on Saturday,…
It’s been soo busy lately … but here’s an updated list for the blog tour. Mine is still to come, so I hope to see you come and visit.
