Hi Y'all! It's a lovely Spring Day here in the desert. My little granddaughter visits me everyday while her Mom is at work so I have a lot of fun playing with a 4 yr old and watching her grow and how her mind works. It so rewarding!!

     I wound up closing my website that my DH had built for me. It was a sad day for me when I shut it down. We had it for about 12 years. I have to admit I was not very diligent in advertising, so I only got a few sales a month.  In Nov 2020 my website Host decided to go in a new direction and stop hosting. I thought it was easier to just close it than to try and find a new host and transfer everything. I have too much going on in life.  I knew I would not find the time to get it done. So, it was a good run,
and I am happy having my blog and selling on Etsy.

    We have had a few mishaps at home. Our water heater broke and one of our sprinkler pipes all on the same weekend. The sprinkler pipe has been fixed by our son and son in law. It was nice having all the kids over for a few hours while the guys fixed things and the rest of us hung out. Our daughter and I were gonna go through her old toys in some containers out in the shed but we could not get to them. We had transferred a bunch of the garage stuff to the shed to be out of the way for the plumber to get to the water heater. The water heater needs to be replaced. That is in the process.

     I have had no time to craft and create at all. Life just keeps getting in the way. All I have managed to do is keep my line of about 30 patterns stocked at the Quilt Shop I used to work at before The pandemic hit. And at a few other shops around the country. I have so many ideas and want to create some more patterns. I hope to do just that once these repairs are done and we get everything put back in place.

Here is a ruffled skirt attached to shorts that I made last year. I did make this into a pattern. Just love the fabrics used in this. Just thought I would share. Until next time. Happy crafting and creating.
