Moving In

October 24, 2020October 24, 2020 1pic1000wordsjayne2 Comments

There's Otis, looking appropriately spooky for the season.  I keep some old dolls my grandmother made in that basket, and the other day he decided to hop in and keep them company. So here I am, in a new location of sorts.  I moved my blog from Typepad to WordPress, and I am looking forward… Continue reading Moving In

Under New Construction…

Don’t be alarmed!  I’m changing some things with my blog and I’m making a big mess of it, but all will be well in time. 🙂

Greetings from a Safe Social Distance

April 17, 2020October 22, 2020 Jayne13 Comments

It's hard to know what to write about.   I made a bunch of masks.  Here I am modeling one of them, and of course that's Julia in the back being her camera friendly self.  I sent some masks to family and I'll be bringing the rest to work with me tomorrow.   I've been… Continue reading Greetings from a Safe Social Distance

Repairs to a Quilt Elsa Made

January 2, 2020October 22, 2020 Jayne13 Comments

Bill doesn't remember how long this quilt was on his bed.  His mom made it - one of a number of quilts she made for family members.  I haven't seen any of the others, but I've got a folder and a ring binder stuffed with patterns and fabric swatches and handwritten notes.  I couldn't find… Continue reading Repairs to a Quilt Elsa Made

Biscotti Three Ways and Other Cookies

December 21, 2019October 22, 2020 Jayne11 Comment

Those of you who have been visiting me over the years will know that I have a bunch of cookies that I make every year before Christmas.  Some of them are recipes inherited from my late mother-in-law, and some are recipes I know certain people really like, and some are recipes I like.  Some years… Continue reading Biscotti Three Ways and Other Cookies

Reparing the Christmas Quilt

December 11, 2019October 22, 2020 Jayne11 Comment

I made this quilt for my parents while I was in college.  I was sharing a house with some people, I had a sewing machine, and I'd made a couple of other quilts before this and didn't really know what to get for my parents that year.  I thought they'd appreciate something homemade.   The… Continue reading Reparing the Christmas Quilt

In Line at CVS

December 4, 2019October 22, 2020 Jayne12 Comments

I was in line at the CVS near my house. There was just one register open.  Well, one, plus the two self-service ones they put in a few months ago when they eliminated two (I think it was two) live-person registers.  So now there are two self-serve and two employee-manned registers. I refuse to use… Continue reading In Line at CVS

Paper Snowflake

November 23, 2019October 22, 2020 Jayne13 Comments

Do you wanna make a snowflake?  Here's how I like to do it. I start with a square piece of paper, and for these recent ones I used tracing paper, which is (or seems to be) thinner than regular paper and creases nicely during folding. I've got a lot of pictures for you - I… Continue reading Paper Snowflake

Where to Start

November 13, 2019October 22, 2020 Jayne12 Comments

That's Otis high atop my yarn hutch.   I have nothing to say about him really.  I just wanted a picture for this post and others I was looking at were too specific.  I'd have to write something about the picture instead of what I'd planned to write about, you know? It's one of my… Continue reading Where to Start

Unfinished Business

November 6, 2019October 22, 2020 Jayne12 Comments

I bought a new sewing machine back in February or March; one I could use for heavy-duty projects involving denim or leather or the like.  I found it a place on my work table - actually on my Dad's old desk - and I unpacked all the accessories into a drawer - and there it… Continue reading Unfinished Business
