This one I call “Girl with Basket of Pinwheel.”  It is 4.5 in X 5.5 in. This one I simply call “Flowers.”  It is 3.5 in X 5 in. This one I can’t decide on a name.  I want to call it either “Don’t Look Back” or “Are You Coming?”   It is 5 in X 7 in. This one I call “Home Sweet Home.”  I mailed it to a friend who recently moved cross country to a new home.  I hand embroidered flowers on the fabric scene.  It is 5 in X 7 in. This one I call “Let’s Ride.”  It is 5 in X 7 in. This one I call “Leap Frog.”  I mailed it to @geeners who indicated that she loved my postcards.  It is 5 in X 7 in. He...

Myron, his father, who holds a Ph.D. in microbiology with a specialty in immunology from the University of Utah, throws in the statistics: “A new chemical substance is discovered every nine seconds during the workday. Chemists discovered the eighteenth millionth chemical substance known to science on June 15...

This “Iris in a Vase” is my 6th postcard.  It was made by fussy cutting the flower and leaves, then appliquéing them onto the background fabric before adding the vase.  It is 8.75 in X 6 in. I made it for my friends Vickie and Ben who will be celebrating their 20th wedding anniversary next month.    #7 Postcard is called “Primitive.”  The people were fussy cut and then appliqued onto the background fabric.  It measures 5.5 in X 7.5 in. Here is the back   #8 Postcard is called “Deserted Island.”  It was also fussy cut and then appliqued onto the background fabric.  It measures 6 in X 8 in.  This is the back   #9 Pos...

The second one I have sent to @DrSnit loves pink flamingos.  I called it “Come away with me.” Here’s the back of it.

The third one is “Happy.”  I made it for friends who were married August 20, 1960 and just celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary.  It is 5 in X 7.5 in.

THE CLAIM (from goodnighties.com): All About Ionx® Some have called it a ‘miracle,’ but the benefits of Goodnighties® is really the result of nature meeting science in a process called ionization. Ionization under the patented brand name ‘Ionx’ is the process that saturates the fabric with negative ions –- more than 20 times found in nature. Wearing Goodnighties with Ionx close to the body has been proven to increase blood flow thus reducing inflammation, improving muscle function, speeding recovery and reducing muscle aches and pains. For years ionized fabric has been used by the medical community, professional athletes, Olympic teams, the military and astronauts because of th...

Or, to dry her hands. When a towel gets dirty, I throw it in the hamper. I wash all the towels at the same time. My dirty towels, my mother's dirty towels. When I wash the towels -- I use Tide and OxyClean. I also have this little plastic ball that I put Downey fabric softener in -- makes the towels come out nice, fresh, and soft. The ball goes right in with the wash -- in the washer. When the towels are dry I fold them. Often, I stick my nose on the towel and smell them. They smell very nice, and are nice to the touch. My mother's towels smell just like my towels. No...

Even when you run your own business — in fact, maybe primarily when you run your own small business — you work more than a typical person who works 8 to 5 or 9 to 6 or whatever. The problem with running your own business is that work time and non-work time meld into one. There’s no delineation. And while that’s great for Psych Central, it certainly may not be ideal for my own mental health (not to mention physical health). My troubles pale in comparison to many people’s troubles today, especially in this economy. But I keep thinking back to my times in the countryside of Ireland, of France, and...

During her Alzheimer’s journey, while she still could use a pen or pencil, Mother tried to write, but often resorted to sketching.  These gradually evolved into doodles which the staff at the nursing home saved for me. My daughter, Beth, who is a quilt and fabric artist (Meandering Threads blog), and I have been discussing turning some of Mother’s sketches and doodles into fabric art for her grandchildren and great grandchil...
