More Than Fields of Wheat: August 2012
http://theyllek.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
More Than Fields of Wheat. Sowing on the Plains. Err Sewing in the Hills of Kansas. August 29, 2012. Gift Bags and Illinois Roads. I got my cast off on Monday but we did not get the results we hoped for :( So, I'm still down a fully functional wrist for at least the next three weeks while we wait and see if the steroid shot works. So while wrist isn't fully functional at least I don't have a cast on my arm that itches and cannot get wet. While I'm not sewing much at the moment, this is an opportunity to ...

The Farmer’s Wife and The Poor Farm

Enjoy Create. Relax. The Farmer’s Wife and The Poor Farm. September 9, 2016. And you know what that means. Or rather, what it’s supposed to mean and very rarely does. It’s Farmer’s Wife Friday. *horn blast*. Part of the allure of the Farmer’s Wife 1930’s sew-along is reading the letters that go along with each block. Angie, who is running the sew-along over at the Gnome Angel blog. The first is “Bea.”. Then there is “Carol.”. Yay, me, for fussy cutting? The next one is “Carrie.” I’m...The last one I fini...

Sweet Corn Ice Cream
http://lighthouselanedesigns.com/sweet-corn-ice-cream
Enjoy Create. Relax. Sweet Corn Ice Cream. September 7, 2016. One of the fleeting pleasures of summer is fresh sweet corn. And, having been raised in a family that grew its own – trying out new varieties every year and comparing them to past favorites – I take my sweet corn serious. I’ve found exactly one vendor at the local farmer’s market who reliably has an excellent product. And sometimes even he has an off-week, quality wise. But then what do you do with the rest? Sweet Corn Ice Cream. The quality o...

A New Year – Moving the Goal Posts

Enjoy Create. Relax. A New Year – Moving the Goal Posts. January 1, 2017. I’m not really much of a “resolutions” kind of girl. And this year, in particular, my resolutions are less of the “I will” type than of the “I won’t” type. My quilt group has started a “UFO to CEO” program to help finish projects. There are Bees galore, swaps, retreats, and blog hops. As much as I would normally tend to be Tiana about all this:. I’m going to refocus on my Farmer’s Wife 1930’s quilt. What else will there be? Maybe y...

More Than Fields of Wheat: A Little Rusty but let's give it a try.

More Than Fields of Wheat. Sowing on the Plains. Err Sewing in the Hills of Kansas. August 19, 2012. A Little Rusty but let's give it a try. That changed in 2007 when a friend said the following: "Wait a minute, you can run a flexo press but cannot using a sewing machine? So, on my two week vacation between Summer and Fall semester I learned how to sew and haven't stopped. I've had no formal training or much in the way of informal for that matter either! I've picked up most of what I know from the intern...
