Of my two grandmothers, my country grandmother was the one I knew the best. There was something about my mother’s mother which was charming and endearing. Her life had many hard times at the beginning, the middle, and the end. But her last years were some of her happiest. Her first husband, William Henry Youngblood, … More My Country Grandmother| joyful2beeblogs
It was nice to get back to the sewing room on Sunday. After a week away from home, the first decision was to decide what to work on. I finished off the August inverted star block for the guild BOM so I was free to work on something else. Since I'd really like to get another finish in soon, the project box with the quilted Kate's Choice blocks was pulled off the shelf. First step was to cut the sashing strips for the front and back of the quilt and attach those. | Life In Pieces
July was a busy month. I was away from home for over a week helping Grad Girl move. So there's not a lot of progress to report for the July PHD report over at Ms. P Designs. | Life In Pieces
We've been enjoying a bit of cooler weather the last few days. It was a nice start to August. I'm still working on getting used to my new schedule. Grad Girl takes care of herself, but the keeping the cat happy still takes a bit of work. Though neither affected my time in the sewing room this last week, but for some reason I struggled with my to do list. | Life In Pieces
It was a slow, stay around the house kind of weekend. We went to church and that's about it. Most of my weekend was spent in my sewing room. My focus was to make some good progress on my "quilt as you go" project, Kate's Choice. | Life In Pieces
I'm a day late posting this week's to do list. We are still working with uncertain scheduling since Grad Girl and Queenie moved home. Grad Girl left yesterday morning for Houston. She has two job interviews this week. Which means I'm on kitty babysitting duty, that includes at least 30 minutes to an hour of outside time in the morning. She's used to having access to a third floor balcony to observe life from. We have a fenced backyard, but Queenie is far from an outside cat and we're ...| Life In Pieces
We all expected an adjustment with Grad Girl moving home till she finds a job. It's not so much having Grad Girl home, she's pretty self sufficient. But her cat, Queenie, has had a harder time adjusting. I think she's finally getting over the stress of moving. But probably, it's that she's gotten us through the initial training of having a cat running the home. | Life In Pieces
It's been two weeks since my last to do list post. Between being way to busy packing and moving Grad Girl, plus the lack of Internet, putting a list together last week just didn't happen. So here's the progress on my last to do list. | Life In Pieces
The end of June is not only mid year, it is the end of the 2nd quarter. When I was working, mid year progress reviews were required. I don't have a supervisor anymore, but Quilting Jetgirl has a linky party up for the 2025 Quilting Q2 Check In, which is a good reminder to check how it's going with my 2025 quilty ambitions. | Life In Pieces
Hard to believe we are half way through 2025. Now that it's July it's time to take another look at my progress with the June PHD report over at Ms. P Designs. | Life In Pieces

Maybe I wasn’t supposed to see her like that. Topless. Grinning. Young. But I’m glad I did. By Samantha Woods| motherwellmag.com
This is one of my favorite photos of my grandmother and me. She passed away last year on Good Friday, a synchronicity I think she would’ve loved. She was- complicated. Strong-willed, hot-tempered,… The post News Reports from my Grandmother appeared first on The Barefoot Beat.| The Barefoot Beat
