Life is busy, and noisy, and always full! Not all of it gets shared here, of course, because that’s how it is. I wanted a way to give you a glimpse at some of the small but interesting stuff that perhaps I haven’t shared here yet.

I am mostly off the daily painkillers now and doing weekly physio, some of it in the heated pool, to get the movement back.

    Hi,
    Great site. I noticed you have instructions spelled instrauctions. It was on the squaring up quilt blocks page.
    Have a great weekend.
