Ramblings

It is a rainy, dreary to most, morning here on the North Coast.  Perfect time to spend with my coffee cup and lazy surfing on the net.  I love this website care2.com.  There's a lot of great information packed into one site.  I came across this page 20 great uses for Tea Tree Oil.   My dear husband says tea tree oil is my answer for everything.  Hey, I use what works!

We went hiking in the Redwoods a couple weekends ago.  I love where we live.  You have never breathed until you have lived by the beach and the Redwoods.  This place is such a part of me now that I don't remember life without it.

 

Sewing one stitch at a time...

Since Ali, my four month old, has come into my life I have only sewn a couple of things.  All 3 of my poor machines are buried in dust and clutter.  I decided when she was a couple of months old to start a quick project.  Well, there isn't anything quick with a little one around.  lol  This table runner took me 2 months but I am happy nonetheless and, yes, it really is that wonky.  Perfection isn't one of my best attributes.  I was in a black and white quilt square swap on SewingMamas because I needed a pick me up after my miscarriage last January.  It felt great to be able to put some squares to use. 

I would love to make matching placemats but that could be another year before I sew them up.
