Taking Time To Smell The Roses ... er Peonies

6/25/2016

All the rain that we have been having has been good for the garden (as well as for the mosquitoes). We are certainly enjoying all the lovely blooms and looking forward to good eating too. I find that gardening is a good balance to my quilting addiction.

Equipment Upgrade

6/24/2016

The addition of this idler bar to the quilt frame will mean fewer adjustments will be needed when quilting long quilts.

Multitasking

6/17/2016

Things haven't totally gone to the birds around here. Helen, the multi-tasker extraordinaire, is piecing a top, pricing new supplies, and quilting a quilt for a client. Just a typical day in the studio.

Fledgling Robin

6/17/2016

Okay, this will be the last post in the Robin series. We caught this short video of one of the fledglings preening his feathers shortly after leaving the nest. Best of luck to the young birdies. Now we can clean off the deck.

And Then There Was One

6/17/2016

This was the runt of the bunch and is the last to leave the nest. I wonder how long till mom stops cooking with worms.

Robin Cam

6/16/2016

We could spend all day watching our little birdies grow, but then ...

To get a break from bird watching we set up a camera tp record a time lapse video of the activity. They sure have been busy! We've posted a link to it on our home page.

New Supplies

6/16/2016

It's a busy day in the studio when new supplies come in.

And Then There Were Four

6/15/2016

Four little chicks still left in the nest. We don't know what happened to the vagabond. Hopefully, Mom & Dad are looking after her.

First To Go

6/15/2016

The first of our little chicks is out of the nest. We are not sure if it was intentional or she just fell. It is pretty crowded in that little nest.

Early Bird

6/11/2016

Watching the daily feeding frenzy of our 5 young robins reminds me of this poem by Shell Silverstein.

Oh, if you're a bird, be an early bird
And catch the worm for your breakfast plate.
If you're a bird, be an early early bird -
But if you're a worm, sleep late.
