Posted on September 3, 2020 by suziecreamcheese

Masks

Posted on August 5, 2020 by suziecreamcheese

Memories are like sticky boogies

Mornings are for the birds

Posted on July 8, 2020 by suziecreamcheese

The first draft

Posted on June 14, 2020 by suziecreamcheese

There will be small squares at the corners, and probably a small heart quilted in each. I think I can get away with stitching in the ditch for the rest when it’s done. Middle block will have the baby’s name … Continue reading →

Fear overcome, the battle was won

Posted on May 11, 2020 by suziecreamcheese

Well. Sort of. It’s not perfect but as my sainted mother would say, “only the gods are allowed perfection.” She had a pre-planned mistake in every quilt – well, she told us she planned it and who were we to … Continue reading →

I lost the Christmas card list

Posted on December 17, 2019 by suziecreamcheese

The dining room table – aka, the black hole – gets hosed off twice a year, maybe three times. (*Disclaimer – housekeeping is not my strong suit) It’s where I study, do school stuff, play on the computer, craft, and … Continue reading →

Sleep is highly over-rated

Posted on August 23, 2019 by suziecreamcheese

My dog lady friends and I get together once a year and pretend we’re teenagers. That’s a lie. We pretend we’re teenagers ALL THE TIME!!!!!!!!! (We’re a few years past teen years.) (Just a few.) (That’s another lie, we’re old.) … Continue reading →

This has been my life for the past week. Last Monday I left my house at 9 am to start what is normally a 6 hour drive to visit family. I rolled into town at 10:15 pm. 128 miles from … Continue reading →
