To Do Tuesday #153

Hello everyone! Hard to believe the kiddos are headed back to school. Summer went way too fast. Plus it is just sad to think that we end summer in August now. I like it better when school started in September. There just seemed to be more …. Summer.

The plan is to linkup with Carol @ Quilt Schmilt again this week for To Do Tuesday. Jump over and check out the projects.

To Do Tuesday #152

Hello from Vancouver, Washington where it is freaking hot today! I didn’t move to the Pacific Northwest to be roasted to death. It has been over 98F for several days and I am looking forward to the predicted rain that should be here by Thursday. I would never have guessed I would be looking forward to rain 🌧️

With my studio on the second floor, it has been unbearable to be upstairs for extended periods of time in the sewing studio. I managed to work on a few blocks as well as start unpacking my fabric boxes. I have already unpacked 10 boxes. For someone who doesn’t like green, I sure have a lot. I am guessing it is becauses every collection comes with green and I tend to not use it. LOL! I elected to focus on sorting fabrics by color in the new studio and that is where I am at for now.

To Do Tuesday #150

Welcome Back! We are now in the last week of July. Overall it has been hot here in the Pacific Northwest but not over the top except for a few days. I am definitely enjoying the gorgeous summer here in Washington. I am loving it!

To Do Tuesday #149

Hello Everyone! Hope July is relaxing. It has been a hot one here in Washington State this July but not as bad as last year. We are catching a few more hot days this week before dropping back down in the 70s (Yipee).

Since heat rises, the sewing room gets a little toasty even with the AC running full blast. Luckily I only have to worry about that a few times a year. The plan is to link up with Carol over at Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday again this week. Some of the ladies have so very cool projects. Come check it out!

To Do Tuesday #147

Hello Everyone! Hope your Fourth of July was relaxing. It was my first in Vancouver. I didn’t SEE 👀 any fireworks 🎆 but I sure did hear 👂🏻it. Otherwiser it was a pretty chill day. The weather was overcast but nice. I enjoyed it before the heat 🥵 wave started on the Fifth.

To Do Tuesday #146

Not a lot to share this week. I have no idea what happened to the time. All of a sudden it’s July 2025! Nothing real exciting happened this week. Helped Caitlin move from her rental house to her rental townhome. Jannes made it back safely from his job interview in New Zealand. We are having a mini heat wave (but nothing like last years). Yesterday we hit a high of 94F yesterday. Only supposed to be 88F today then we will be back to our normal 70’s. Really not sure what happened to my week. Hmm…

To Do Tuesday #145

Oops! Has it been two weeks? Sorry about that. I got wrapped up with guests again. This time it was my brother Scott in from Brooklyn, New York. He stayed with me a few days before heading down to Corvallis to see his grandkids. It was awesome seeing him. It has been a year. The most exciting thing we did was do a hike at

It was a beautiful day for a hike – sunny & 70F. Only issue I had was that it said it was 2 miles but it was really 3 miles 🥾🤪. I survived. This hike is not an easy hike. There is a lot of elevation. I opted to go UP the steepest part and come down the sloping hillside. As always, coming down is harder than going up. Great hike though! Great company.

This week has found me settling into more normal routine except for the daily trips to do kitty chores for the honeymooners who are currently in Grand Teton National Park. It has been a heatwave here but all of us are mustering through. In my truck it hit a high of 99F. Today is way cooler. Such a relief after the past several days.

My friend Carol Schmilt who is our host for To Do Tuesday in British Columbia has also been affected by the same heat wave. Planning to link up with Carol this week. Check out the blog and the linkup for inspiring ideas.
