Glorious May

Flowers are blooming, pollen is everywhere. Allergies, too.

Just dropped in to post a big hello to you. I just received a huge shipment of batik and about 40 new bolts of flannel. Must list. Please check my Ebay stores.

The agreement with my husband for me to retire was:

• I cook dinner every night (that lasted 3 days and he is cooking again)


• I list at least 7 different things other than fabric or patterns every week (I'm a little behind on that)


• I keep the house clean (LOL, 3 dogs and Alpha Dog, I try)

So, I need to get busy, busy, busy...and Fons and Porter is on TV now...gotta go.

Organizing...yeah, right!

I can't believe I haven't updated my blog since before Thanksgiving. WOW. Hope all of you had a great holiday season. Ours was Okay....then January 18th, my beloved Mom passed away. She had health issues but nothing that any of us thought was serious. She had a massive stroke and passed away 4 days later, never really recovering from the semi coma that the stroke caused. It was very sad.

April 12, I retired from work after 12 years with Hilton Reservations. It was a great company to work for and they treated me well but after my January wake up call, dear hubby and I discussed it and we decided that we could give up a few treats and live without my part time income.

As most of my friends know, I used to have an antique store. I specialized in Country American pottery and old quilts. I'm going to list some, just can't part with them yet. I hope you'll check my Ebay stores. OldGlory_Fl will be carrying the odds and ends on Ebay.

Now to get organized. I'll try to keep posting here. Be sure to visit my friends, too. Some of them have some great giveaways and contests. I know I'm still trying to win a GO from Accuquilt.

Hugs to everyone......leave a message if you want.

Cat Rag Quilt

Here are pictures of my latest rag quilt. It is all cat fabrics, front and back from a vast accumulation. Squares are 8 1/2" each so it's pretty large. Next, the dog quilt.

Be sure to check my listings for the leftover fabrics. I have lots. I'll be putting together listings of cat and dog fat quarter sets. Make your own quilt. Wonderful selection, I think.

Anyway, this one is for a friend who has been feeling poorly. I hope she likes it. I know she loves cats but can't have one because of allergies and asthma.

Hoping everyone has a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving!!

34 Days Until Christmas

Well, Ginger's real name was Wendy. Her Mom contacted my DH the next day and we sadly took her back. What a cutie pie.

With just a little more than 30 days until Christmas, I'm in a state of P A N I C!!

I hate to do gift cards. I think I can whip up some little stockings at least to put them in.

Another year gone, hard to believe. And I get a year older in a couple of weeks. Oh, woe is me.

Wishing everyone a splendid, thankful Thanksgiving!!

Thanks for stopping by!!

Found a Puppy, Named her Ginger

Hubby brought this precious little thing home, today. He found her in the middle of the street. We have put up posters, listed her in Craigslist Lost and Found, Hillsborough Cty Animal Shelter list........need to find her owner.

Yes, a long haired Chihuahua. Not yappy at all. Cute as a button. Someone lost her. If you can help...........PLEASE!!

It's Fall, YAY!!

And with a little luck it will start to cool off a bit...not too much...we need those tourists in Florida.

I have neglected my blog for way too long.

Dear Hubby has been sick, but on the mend. Ebay, Etsy, Facebook all keep me busy.

My friend, Lee, "Quilts by Lee", is going to feature me on her blog, so I thought I better get in here and update. Thanks, Lee.

All of my selling/store links are posted below. Be sure to visit. If you don't see something you are looking for, contact me. I probably have it somewhere or can refer you to someone who does.

Thanks for stopping by.
