Secrets from Louisiana

So glad you have stopped by for a visit. We have many secrets here in Louisiana. We are a quilters haven because of all the interesting things we have in our environment to see, smell,taste and feel. Our flowers are like perfume in the evening and the colors explode in your eyes. Our seafood is the best in the world and is bountiful from the Gulf.

The palette is non stopping.

Lets Catch Up

Good morning all, no I didn't fall off a cliff, life just got tight.Hank's surgery went fine he is at Emily's tring to get on his feet. He gets the stitches removed from his inner cheek tomorrow and they will take the packing out of his nose. He is such a sweetie young man. The doctor will see him every six months to make sure it doesn't come back. He will come back to his Dad's this week and then back to school.

I have 2 big quilts at the quilter's and have made 12 name tags for my backpacks, love doing little sewing thingies and love backpacks.Who knew! I am going to machine quilt a quilt today that has been hanging around for several years. I am beading the flowers on this quilt. This spring I am going to attemp painting a sewing machine, guess what color.....screaming royal PURPLE. What a surprise.!!!!!

I made my spring list of things to do. I will lean out my sewing machines and will donate fabric. I will set up the cottage a little different with room for someone to sew with me out there. I am going to clean my favorite 10 machines and will go through my mags and pull out patterns I want to keep and pass on the rest.

The veggie container garden will be set up as soon as my foot surgery is complete. Don't have a date yet but it will be soon as I have been cleared for it. Raking  is always a problem as my upper arm strengh is a little lacking and as my friend Sheryl stated "I am a girl afterall."

Today I am not leaving the house as it stormed all night and will rain again today , staying in sewing etc. Cooked yesterday for the week so I am good.


Hugs
