Healthy Simplicity - Friday File

We’ve just come through our Canadian Thanksgiving. We had a wonderful visit from friends in the States. The entire weekend was special and comforting to all of us as we faced our first Thanksgiving without my husband. I’ve finally been able to get some pictures so you can see a couple of the projects I’ve … [Read more…]

Healthy Simplicity - Friday File

The last few weeks have felt like a “two steps forward one step back” dance with processing my grief which explains why I haven’t been posting much. Everyone expects that grief will be hard emotionally. I just really had no concept of how physically hard it would be to deal with grief. I feel like … [Read more…]

We’ve had a really good week. My wrists are slowly on the mend so I’ve been able to do more handwork. I’ve been cutting out quilt squares, scrapbooking, sewing and cautiously knitting.

Last week I showed you the fleece quilt that I’ve been helping my two youngest daughters to sew. This week I can show you the finished product. I bought a piece of fleece off the clearance table. I knew it wouldn’t be big enough, but I was sure that we could handle that. We laid … [Read more…]

Fleece Quilts Part 1

Healthy Simplicity - Quilts

Last Friday I gave you a glimpse of a quilt that my two youngest daughters (ages 9 and 11) are working on. I recently realized just what a huge pile of fleece scraps I have and decided the best way to reduce the pile was by making a quilt. Making a fleece quilt would also … [Read more…]

Still More Quilts

Healthy Simplicity - Still More Quilts

As so often happens in life, last week after I posted about the quilts I’ve made I remembered three others. Actually when I was writing the post I had a feeling that I was forgetting some but just couldn’t think of what they were. About three or four years ago I made “matching” quilts for … [Read more…]
