Continue reading →: Half social, half quiltingThings are slowly returning to some sort of normal. Mom continues to heal from her surgery and went back home Monday. I’ll see her tomorrow to run errands. Yesterday, I started my day by twisting my ankle exercising. What a way to show my age! It was very minor and…

Continue reading →: Getting back to a routineThis weekend was a family weekend, not a making weekend. We visited my brother’s family and I helped Chris prepare for his annual trip to Nebraska. Mom has a follow-up eye appointment today, and she’ll probably go back to her apartment in the next day or so. I think I’ll…

Continue reading →: A crochet updateI didn’t do any sewing yesterday. It was a yard work morning followed by a couple of errands for Mom. She’s still with us since her eye surgery but seems to be getting a little better. Today, all I have is a little crochet update. This is the big blanket,…

Continue reading →: A day where not much happenedMom is recovering nicely from her eye surgery. I can’t believe the schedule of eye drops that she has. It seems like her phone alarm goes off every 2 hours. It’s not quite that often, but it’s close. We ran some errands before lunch. After that, I was going to…

Continue reading →: A quick check inI haven’t accomplished much the past 2 days. Mom had a somewhat minor surgery, and she’s recovering well. But that has been our focus. Here’s the little that x we’ve accomplished. I opened the kiln with my full fuse pieces. I’m mostly really happy. Some things are coming back to…

Continue reading →: Glass and crochetYesterday, I spent the afternoon preparing to fuse more glass. This time for 4 different dish molds. Each is 2 layers. They go through a flat fuse first and will be slumped into molds next. This will take a few days to finish, if all goes well. I showed you…
Hello,
I’m Vicki
I’m Vicki Welsh and I’ve been making things as long as I can remember. I used to be a garment maker but transitioned to quilts about 20 years ago. Currently I’m into fabric dyeing, quilting, Zentangle, fabric postcards, fused glass and mosaic. I document my adventures here.
