Baking

Posted on March 28, 2015 by prairiemoonquilts in Meal planning & Recipes

I have zero issues with making it abundantly clear that I do not like to cook. I do, however, occasionally like to bake something. You know, to satisfy my seemingly insatiable sweet tooth. Looking back, I’m not sure how I managed it, but I once went 8 months without ingesting a single drop of sugar […]

Studio Organizing, Week 13

Posted on March 26, 2015 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

I love the feeling of having cleaned out and organized a drawer! Now I know exactly what’s in there, I got rid of a few things I don’t need, and I organized the things I’m keeping. There are still 4 more drawers in just this one cabinet, and they all need to be cleaned out […]

Cowboy. On Drugs.

Posted on March 24, 2015 by prairiemoonquilts in Quotes

I had to take My Cowboy to the ER last night. They gave him several shots of high-powered pain killers. I know from previous experience that if I’ve had to go to the ER for high-powered pain killers, my sister insists on going along, because it’s hilarious — at least for her. My Cowboy’s a […]

Studio Organizing, Week 12

Posted on March 19, 2015 by prairiemoonquilts in Organizing, Studio Organizing Challenge

While last week’s task should have been an easy one for me, I sorta fizzled on it. I gathered up a lot more stray thread that needed to be put away, but all I managed to put away was the spools . . . because they were easy. The embroidery floss mess? Still a mess […]

News From the Ranch, Episode 1306

Posted on March 17, 2015 by prairiemoonquilts in Prairie Moon Ranch, Quotes, What's New

We’ve had a most wonderful break in the cold weather the last week or so, and that means we’ve been doing as much as possible outdoors. Winter is so hard on things. Freezing, thawing, getting wet, wind, mud, snow, ice, and hard ground — it just makes everything more difficult. So we do as little […]

Studio Organizing, Week 11

Posted on March 12, 2015 by prairiemoonquilts in Organizing, Studio Organizing Challenge

Well, I don’t know about you, but I needed last week’s re-do. I kept working on paper, and I have really made some progress. I also spent a lot of time just putting things away. I’ve unearthed a lot of items that need a home during all this organizing, so I worked on vanquishing some […]

Studio Organizing, Week 10

Posted on March 5, 2015 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

I really didn’t like last week’s task! But it needed doing. And I’m still not done, but I made a dent in it! I’ll keep chipping away at it. Taxes DO have a deadline, after all! The pile in the floor is gone, lots of filing has been done, AND — I filled an entire […]

March Procrastination Challenge

Posted on March 2, 2015 by prairiemoonquilts in Challenges

I’m fairly certain that any of you who are playing along on this one are doing way better than I am. Ugh! Last month’s project for me was “Women of Design”: I did manage to get one more block almost finished — to which My Cowboy retorts, “‘Almost’ only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades!” […]

With a short month this time, it’s good that some of us were already ahead of the goal! Here’s a little of what I worked on this month . . . I made this Dresden Plate block for Cindy for our Sew Sisters Quilting Bee: I also made this siggy block to go with it: […]

Studio Organizing, Week 9

Posted on February 26, 2015 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

Last week was a tough one for me. It made me work hard! I found lots of stray items to put away. I put away a LOT of fabric that was loitering in various places in the studio, and while my little basket isn’t completely empty, it’s at least got some space in it. While […]
