Mary’s Pie

1 January 2010, 10:03 am

I belong to a wonderful group of quilters called DayStitchers.  (It’s probably supposed to be two words, but since we have no rules, no minutes, I’ve never really seen it spelled.  I like one word, and it’s my blog…)

Mary brought “pie” for all of us a couple of weeks ago.  (The other woman in the picture isn’t Rosie, that’s for sure.)

MarysPiesIt looks to be about 16 pieces of pie, both blueberry and cherry!  These are the cutest pincushions you’d ever want to see.  She weighted them nicely, and they have sugar sprinkles (beads) across the top.  And as with everything Mary makes, the workmanship is impeccable.  And I particularly love that she signed and dated them on the bottom.  What a treasure!  Thank you, Mary!

I’ve had my slice of pie on a plate, and Jim seems so surprising drawn to this pincushion.  Doesn’t it look good enough to eat?

Happy New Year’s Day!

1 January 2010, 9:53 am

I remember my first decade change, from 1959 to 1960.  All I had known were the ’50s, and it was almost unbelievable to a 10-year-old (almost 11) that the year was changing to 1960.  Wow.  That was 50 years ago.

New Year’s Eve (last day of 1970), my DH proposed to me, and obviously I accepted.  Wow.  That was 39 years ago last night. 

After those two New Years, it’s all kind of a blur.

Yesterday we spent painting DS#3′s double bungalow (I learned it’s really not a duplex, it’s a double bungalow).  I guess we should know what we’re painting!  It’s still going painfully slow.  We came home, and reheated some leftovers and had a nice glass of bubbly…

I should have taken a better photo of my table runner.  It’s from a book by Terry Atkinson, and it’s my favorite.

And I just found out that I “laundered” my cell phone.  What a way to start the new year!  I’m hoping it will dry out and work again, but I’m not too confident.  Well, we’re out to breakfast, and then back to the salt mines double bungalow to continue our paint-a-thon. 

Wishing all of you a wonderful new year.
