The Edison – Ford Winter Estates It’s one of my places of peace. I would LOVE to be able to really go in and photograph the inside of the rooms from all angles. Maybe some day?
I think it’s so fitting a tree quilt pattern was on the bed….
How to Survive Retirement is my WORKING title for the new eBook I have been working on ! It’s basic on a tongue and cheek post I did a few years ago(removed most cheek).
I like the eBook format as there is not shipping and postage on my end and so have a tablet or phone. Today I have been working on Cover idea and background photo’s. This post and then lettering ! I will share !
First, is go with the Autumn of your life theme???
Or this Autumn of Life ???? Which lends to a good outcome on cover wording ???
OR My Beach Morning and it’s probably it ! !
And IF YOU REALLY want to Survive retirement ! Show Husband this one ! My number on Rule of Retirement, LAUGH ! ! IF you have an opinion, please let me KNOW ! !
My Photo’s are NOW available from Fine Art American. You can do simple prints, have my watercolors, photographs, framed and matted or even on canvas. Stop over and see all my work today ! See my Collections HERE
Husband always says,”My life is a happy place.” I think that’s funny. Since all the learning I have been doing lately and figuring myself out, I do understand what he is saying.
You are the only one who can make you happy. Maybe at 60 years old, I finally figured out NO one and nothing but ME, can make me happy ! I’ve been trying very hard to live in my own doings, my own happiness and my own ideas. And My Happy Places HELP !
I love my bed, I have an over the top routine of what it has to be, how it is made, the sheets, pillows, I confess, I AM a bit Nuts over it, and I have given it YEARS of practice ! And, I’m not a prude about it either, I love to crawl in, eat lunch,have afternoon coffee, read a book, right in the middle of it. It’s all about being…..Happy ! Laugh out LOUD !
My office is a very happy place too, I use it daily and most days, I kind of escape into it. Awake early this is the place you will find me.
i know I have shown our Lanai a few times, but I love this spot, it’s hot here right now and I can only go out early morning. but I love this spot !
Find or make yourself a spot, a quilt on the chair, do something for yourself !
This is the FIRST quilt I made, and you know….NO ONE sleeps or touches it but me and IT’S just fine ! I don’t think anyone cares ! And….I makes my HAPPY !

This is basic log cabin quilt pattern for you to make. It has a finished size of ten inches by ten inches. As you can probably see I like to just cut strips and have fun at piecing log cabin blocks. This quilt finished to be scrappy and brought together with the border fabric. I piece my quilt block using a sewing machine, just a little Brothers model, nothing fancy.
Cutting colors follow the pattern on the left.
Cut 1 Red – 2 ½” x 2 ½”
Cut 2 Gray – 2 ½”x 2 ½”
Cut 2 Red – 6 ½” x 2 ½”

I sent out a few quilts to have them long arm quilted. Finally, I had enough saved. I make the binding for each quilt top as I finished it. This is how many quilts I have to hand quilt, send to long arm or tie ! ? !
So….How Many Quilts to you have to BIND or FINISH ???
