A day of mysteries!

Today, all is revealed, as there were several mysteries at play. 

First—the fabric with the quilt blocks I bought the other day is part of an Anna Marie Textile (division of Northcott) collection. It's called Piecework, and it's not new - it's from 2025. See how often I get out? 

Here's a reminder of the fabrics; you can check the link above for the rest. As mentioned, Ye Olde Fabric Shoppe had all or most of them.

Second mystery—the darn storage for my email. While I didn't get a chance to delete all the attachments in the SENT folder, I managed to get rid of some; there was ZERO change to the amount of storage. OK -- maybe this morning, the storage will be different. NO!!! How can that be? There has to be something that is even more hidden? This is NOT the first time this has happened. I've deleted huge files from all the classes in the past, and there's still no change in the amount of storage. 

Hmmmm—what could be the issue? Well, that's still a mystery to be solved. 

Speaking of mysteries -- that book - My Husband's Wife by Alice Feeney? Oh my -- plot twist after plot twist. Who knew that was coming? It's insane, yet the plot twists are plausible! I still have about 50 minutes, and how many more plot twists can there be? 

But here's the FUN mystery that is now solved. Remember I shared this logic puzzle book I bought a couple of weeks ago. It has 50 puzzles, and they are fairly easy, so I can sit down and do one or two with no trouble. I'm on number 25! 

Puzzle Book

However, one puzzle just didn't make sense. One clue was one of those either/or clues, but it can't be both. Well, the clue wasn't happening for me. I checked with a friend whose son is an EXPERT at this kind of thing to see if I was messing up. Nope—it didn't make sense to him either. 

I tried to find the book online to see if there was a correction. Nothing. After looking at the fine print in the back of the book, I discovered the book was "written" by Dr. Garth Moore and Laura Jayne Ayres. Well, I know who Dr. Garth Moore is! I have watched some of his online videos for solving problems - especially in the EXIT Game series. 

Well, let's just reach out and see what he has to say. We emailed back and forth multiple times yesterday, and it appears this book was NOT supposed to be released in North America. But I'm not going there. 

Anyway, he agreed with me that the clue was not well written. He explained how to interpret the clue, and with that hint, I was able to solve the logic problem with ease. He has offered me a free subscription to one of his puzzle websites for a year. Hmmm—I don't need more distraction, but I'm going to take him up on his offer. 

A very nice person and someone who cares about their customers! But you should check him out - he is the KING of puzzles (at least in Britain) and has books (yep -- even at our local library), puzzles, and videos. He writes for kids and adults, and I see our library has a lot of his ebooks. 

Now what about the mystery in the forest? They spent THREE days, and I don't know how much material was brought in along with all the equipment. 

They brought in many truckloads of fine and coarse gravel and dumped them at the end of the street, along with a load of larger rocks. 

Piles of gravel to repair the path

More gravel

They also brought in a couple of pallets of what I thought were paving stones, but they were actually large plastic grates used to control erosion. 

Compacting the gravel

They had a roller to pack the gravel, a backhoe, and something else. I didn't really pay attention, but many people were involved, and as mentioned, it took three days. 

I also noticed they broke the end section of the sidewalk with the heavy equipment, but when we walked there yesterday, they had even removed the broken piece of concrete and installed a new one. WOW!!!! 

They repaired the broken sidewalk the same day!

In some instances, they have made the path very thick. 

That's a very thick path.

In a couple of areas with a grade, they installed the larger rocks along the sides. I wonder if they graded that path so the water runs to the sides and then through the rocks? Hmmm - more mysteries. 

Murphy enjoying the new path.

So this is the transition between the new part and the old part. 

The transition

I still prefer the old path, but this section didn't erode. 

What the original parts still look like

This is the spot with the biggest erosion issue. I notice that you can see the path of a bicycle, so how compacted is that earth? I almost wish we could have a violent downpour to see how this stands up. I totally get that the plastic landscape material will hold the soil in place, but what about the layers on top of that material? 

The new downhill!

See, those rocks are pretty substantial. 

Grandma -- BIG ROCKS!

I still think they should check out how the Spanish deal with steep hills and water erosion. Either tile/pave it over as they have done in other sections of this area, OR grade the path slightly to one side and then put channels (ditches) along to handle the water. In some instances in Spain, I saw the channel cut diagonally across the path. 

Let's see what happens. I may still dig out those pictures of the paths in Spain and send them to the city if we run into more issues!

OH MY -- I realize this is the weekend for the Virtual Retreat and I'm strapped for time! But we can have one on Sunday afternoon from (3 - 9). I'll post the link tomorrow. I have a very busy day tomorrow and YES - I'll be hosting my scrap class (the first one) from downtown Toronto!!

Here's a sneak peek at my purchases from the day before. I found the perfect fabric for the borders and binding that I needed. I have ZERO issue buying new stuff if I don't have it in my stash. But if I can make do with what's in the stash, then I'll go with that. I had reached the point on THREE projects where I needed to buy something. 

The border and binding fabric for two quilts

Then for the My Kinda Town quilt, I'm using these prints as the background. I think I mentioned that I have tried to use these for multiple quilts, and none of them worked. 

My backgrounds for My Kinda Town

But for My Kinda Town, the backgrounds are perfect. 

A block from My Kinda Town

However, I only had six of those fabrics, and I needed two more! 

I managed to find one more in the kids section of the store. I had checked out, and Dede and I were chatting with the store employee. I then asked her if they had the Tula Pink fairy frost, which someone suggested on my blog. No, but then she asked what I was looking for. OH -- we have some of those in the far corner by the pink fabric. So we trotted over there and sure enough -- they had a variety. I eliminated some of them and found three that will work. 

Three new fabrics

Silly me - I should have asked as soon as I got there, but I did not. I'm glad I asked because now my search for those prints is over. 

I also spotted this vinyl, which is to die for! It's so soft and beautiful. 

Soft vinyl

I found something in the sale area that makes more sense than anything I had in my stash for this quilt backing. It's a nice quilt I want to keep, so I was happy about that. 

Backing for my quilt

And I had the urge to buy something Halloween. Don't ask me why - so this is what I got! 

A Halloween pattern and a mini-charm pack

I am NOT a fan of Tilda fabrics, but these buttons were to die for. Yes - an impulse purchase, which is why I shouldn't go shopping!

Tilda buttons

Because it's going to be an insanely busy weekend, I went to the used book sale last night. I had one goal in mind, and I grabbed some cash. Not much cash, but enough to make the trip worthwhile. 

Oh my --- the sale is on the lower level of a mall; they used to be on the main level, but this is actually better. It was crowded, and the line-ups were long. 

The used book sale

But I found the table with the puzzles and selected a few. I only spent 2/3 of what I took. I had an IKEA bag with me, and they fit in there like a glove. I was there and back within an hour! This is not the first rodeo for the volunteers from the Mississauga Symphony. They know how to process piles of books and take the cash! 

Oh my—look at Murphy and Bear. Bear sure keeps the older dogs on their toes. Murphy used to like sleeping up there, but she doesn't anymore. I'm keeping it around because I know Bear likes it too. He spends many hours watching the activity on the street. But at some point, I'll move it to the garage. It does take up a lot of space. Thank goodness I bought the stairs because he can go up and down at his leisure! 

The neighborhood watchers!

I think the girls like the two walks a day instead of one long one, and I'm getting pretty handy at managing three dogs. I wouldn't do it forever, but the occasional walk with Bear is fine. He's only here for a couple more days. It'll be good when it's just the two girls. Murphy is still attempting to define herself as the Alpha in our house! 

I had so many emails come in yesterday, and I was trying to respond as they came in, so if you sent an email yesterday, I got it, just no time to process!

I compiled the distribution lists for the second scrap class. If you are considering signing up, I'd appreciate it if you do that today. Otherwise, it's a ton of logistical work to keep sending welcome emails to the stragglers. 

Well, I have a lot to get done today, so I'd better get started!!!

It's going to be a wonderful day!!!!

Ciao!!!

We've got company - AGAIN!

Oh my --- I love reading the comments. However, there are some days when  I get inundated with spam. And for the most part, it's easy to know that it's spam. I wonder how that happens? I mean - does someone set a program to troll for keywords? I know I'm not the direct target, the keywords just get picked up, and then AI writes some creative, mostly nonsensical sentences. Thankfully, all new comments are at the top of the list, so it's easy for me to browse them daily and delete what shouldn't be there. 

But read this one: 

Wow, what a delightful read! I absolutely love how you combine two such unique passions—quilting and biking—into one vibrant lifestyle. Your energy is truly infectious! Whether you're stitching fabric masterpieces or riding through nature, your creativity and enthusiasm shine through. The "crazy quilter on a bike" title is not just catchy, it's a perfect reflection of your joyful spirit. Can't wait to see where your next ride (or quilt!) takes you. Keep inspiring us with your colorful adventures!

Seriously? Who writes like that? It's pretty cleverly written, and it was certainly not a person who did that! How do I know? It's just too darned perfect, and I haven't written about cycling for a long time, so you know AI has searched many blog posts to come up with those creative words! And it is GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT. Not a single error in it according to Grammarly, which is a generative AI tool. 

Anyway, I accomplished some sewing before we had to leave the retreat house at 11 AM. That was a bit earlier than we're used to, but it worked out OK. I can't share with you what I did as it's part of my writing assignment, but it's looking awesome. 

I also managed to get all these blocks completed with the first round. I was using them as enders and leaders, and I actually had two extra pieces, but no worries, as I can use them on the second round of the black on white blocks. I need to give them all a good press and trim them to the correct size. Usually, I wouldn't do that, but I know some of them are a bit off. The next step will be to sew the blocks using the black on white fabrics. And there's no need to worry if I'll run out of fabric, as I have loads of white and black fabric. And this will be another quilt top done, but it's going to take a while since it's an ender and leader project. 

Progress on the ender and leader quilt

Through the Pony Express, I got the rest of the books from one of the thrift stores. Perfect timing, as I got an email from them that they have received another book on my list. I must respond to them. 

More books from my thrift store shopping

The traffic was heavy on the 401. No accident, no construction, no visible reason for a slowdown, but it was slower. Then all of a sudden, it was fine. I don't get that. Why does the traffic slow down when there's no reason? I know -- someone brakes and that throws a monkey wrench in the mix, but this highway is notorious for heavy traffic. The trucks? I swear every second vehicle was a transport truck! Not that that is a bad thing, because for the most part, they are the better drivers, but there were so many! I'm sure they love the traffic. 

Anyway, I had quite the reception when I got home. 

MOM-How dare you leave me alone! 

MOM - where were you? I needed you! 

Grandma - I'm a good boy, and when I'm not, I'm just cute! 

Wait!!!!! Bear -- how did Little Bear get here? He arrived on Tuesday when neither I nor DH were home. So the dog sitter got to enjoy him for a couple of days. She loves him and he's super snuggly, so the two of them hung out while she worked! Such a good little companion. 

But what trouble! 

Grandma - I'm upstairs and I need help!!! 

He loves to hang out with the big girls! 

Chilling at the window with Lexi

Surveying their backyard kingdom this morning

M and her friend stopped by to visit in the afternoon for a bit, and then they were gone, and Bear gets to stay here! That works for me! 

I got more writing done and completed more videos. I'm not doing too badly with the videos, but there's still so much to learn! I swear that recording yourself is an excellent way to practice speaking. I only save the one I like, and the rest are gone. But it sure helps to reduce those 'um' and 'ah' words, and you learn to say what you want. I don't want to edit if I don't have to. 

I slept like a log at the retreat. It was dark and very quiet, not that I need either to sleep. But I had trouble sleeping last night, and I was so tired at 4:30 AM when I needed to get up for the gym. Now that I'm home, I plan to walk the girls and the boy, and then I need a nap. 

And then I'll be back to work as I need to get more writing done today and start prepping for my trip next week. Yep - so much for a calm and quiet July. 

Have a super day!!!

Ciao!!!

Delivery service

One thing about decluttering your house is what to do with all the stuff! Most of us don't want it to go to the landfill, but I can see a lot of good things going there because people don't want to take the time to find a good home for things, nor do they want to take the effort to deliver them. 

When Yagana cleaned out M's stuff upstairs, about 10 or 11 boxes were sitting in the hallway. Five boxes remain, and I'll deal with those later. I sorted half of the boxes, and now the books were sitting in smaller boxes in the front hall. Plus, there was stuff destined for two schools. 

Before I drop off at any school, I call first to ensure they actually want what I have to donate. Yesterday was the second day of those drop-offs, and now look at my hallway!

Only three small boxes remain

There are three small boxes to be donated to the thrift store. Oh my --- that looks so much better than the boxes and huge pads of paper that have been cluttering up that area! 

Three items remain in the Pony Express staging area. One is big and is sitting under the hall table. The two boxes on Lexi's kennel are for the recycling depot. There's also another box of flammable stuff in the laundry room. 

The Pony Express staging area

There are a few boxes in the office that I can now move to the front hall, and hopefully, I can get rid of those in one more trip. One is a box of paper that needs to be shredded, and the other will be added to the donation pile. Once all that is gone, then I will be able to start all over again. Well, technically, not start all over again - I need to continue cleaning out the office. It's all going to happen! 

Yes -- I need to gather all the boxes that have been waiting their turn, make sure they're full, and then get them out of the house! That's next on the list! I can't tell you how giddy I feel about getting rid of more boxes of stuff! It's better than therapy, and it's sure to lift your mood! 

So help me god, but I just moved those boxes to the kitchen counter and will deal with them today. It just feels like the day to get that done! Then I can start to make another mess! 

While dropping off those boxes, I had a couple of things to pick up. 

Here's my stack of books that came from Allison the Bookman in North Bay. Thanks to the Pony Express, they arrived safe and sound. Thanks to Karen and Helen Anne. I would HIGHLY recommend that used bookstore in North Bay. They had a lot of great titles, and it was easy to search online. They were also very responsive. Will I buy again? You bet!!!

Some of my missing books

Then I finally picked up my jacket patterns that had been printed weeks ago! I had them printed at Sherwood Copy & Print in Mississauga. If you need something large printed, this is where I'd go. Shoot -- I never even thought - I need some stuff printed for my concurrent show at Quilt Canada, and I should have asked about that! 

My jacket patterns

Anyway, the service was fast and the cost was extremely reasonable. I paid $15 for two large pieces of paper. One was 36" square and the other was 36" by 74". $15 to print both!! Highly recommended!!! 

I had a couple of other errands, but I ran out of time as I had to be home as the landscapers were coming to install the new water tap. I might just sneak out of the house later today and get those last errands done. Then I'll feel complete, and then, as mentioned, it's time to start collecting boxes again! 

Thankfully, what is coming into the house is a lot less than what is going out, and those books? Once I read them, they are gone! 

I didn't get a chance to get out for a walk yesterday, so no danger of getting hit. But I was at the gym already this morning, and I was all by myself because Brooke wasn't feeling well. Oh my!!! I can't believe I'm looking forward to those visits. My legs and arms feel tingly from lifting weights, but I'm not pushing it too hard. I need to make my left leg as strong as my right, and while it's okay, it's still relatively weak. Don't worry - I'm lifting 10 pounds per leg, plus the weight of the machine! I'm not overdoing it! 

More stretching and even getting up and down on the floor is super easy! Do I flip up like a gymnast? NO - that's never going to happen, but getting up gracefully? Yep - I can manage that. Do I feel ecstatic? Flying higher than a kite! 

This next photo in no way endorses my political views, but I took the picture with Murphy to show the scale. One local candidate has placed these massive signs along the public fence. Personally, I think it's the most disgusting thing. Do they hope that people will arrive at the voting station and vote for the last name they saw? 

Massive election signs

I hope people have realized that this election is too important to vote based on name recognition. And how much did that sign cost? It's printed on corrugated plastic! Yes - I erased the name in case you think they put up a blank sign! Well, just get out there and vote - that is on Monday! I think I did a fantastic job of erasing that sign! 

Here are a couple of photos of flowers that I forgot to post the other day. The daffodils are all pointing towards the sun! 

Daffodils pointing to the sun

And the pretty hibiscus were blooming like mad! 

Hyacinths in bloom

Then a bizarre thing happened yesterday. I'm making a quilt that needs over 2 meters of fabric for the border and binding. I bought fabric at a store in BC last year (the pink one), and I loved it. However, as the quilt progresses, I realize that pink is the absolutely wrong color for my border. It needs to be darker. 

I pulled out a purple from my stash, and it was awesome (bottom left), but there's NOT enough. I realized that I would need to go to a quilt store to buy some. The nearest store is about 45 minutes away, which isn't far, but time is precious these days. 

Can you believe that I went back to my stash, rather than go to the quilt store, and I found TWO more purples. The top left is too light, and the top right isn't quite the right shade of purple, but it will have to do! Actually, it's going to look just fine as I'll add a little bit of it into the blocks in the quilt. Problem solved! 

Shopping for fabric at my house

Before, if I needed anything, instead of looking in the stash, I'd hop in the car and zip to the quilt store, regardless of how far away it was. Not any longer. I find that absolutely hilarious! And it wasn't so much that I didn't want to go to the store, it was that I didn't want to take the time! 

To keep Murphy busy in the morning, I hide her ball in her blankets again. Hmm -- she has caught onto me as I hide the ball in the same blanket, and she zeroed in on that one. So I switched it up, and that took her a few minutes to figure out. 

MOM - you can't trick me!!

Once she had the ball, she went back to her food dish because she had not licked it entirely clean! She does the same thing to Lexi's dish. She knows she is not allowed to touch Lexi's food in the dish. If the food happens to be outside the dish because someone kicked it, then it's fair game. But the SECOND that Lexi has eaten her food, Murphy goes back and licks the dish clean! 

Found the ball; now I need to lick the dish clean!

Here's another comparison of those girls. While Murphy is huffing and puffing, trying to find that ball, Lexi is just chilling! 

Totally opposite!!

And here they are outside. Again, Murphy is busy; Lexi is chilling. 

MOM - listen to ME!!!

Then Murphy found another toy. I don't know if she got this from the house or found it outside. But technically, it's an indoor toy. She plopped herself in the flower bed and proceeded to remove the inner toy from the outside part. 

MOM - this flower bed is so comfy!!

And there she is, hanging out at the pond with her fish. 

MOM - my fish needs the pond! 

I'm going to have to pick up more mulch at the store, but I should rake the leaves away from the trees first so the mulch stays somewhat tidy. I don't have a leaf rake! I could just scrap them up with my hands, I suppose. I did some tidying up in the garden yesterday and did some weeding. YES - the weeds are already starting to grow. If I could keep on top of them, it wouldn't be a big deal! 

And yes, I'm running around in shorts because the weather is beautiful! I have a story about these shorts, which I'll share after I take a picture of them!

Did I get any sewing done? You bet I did! I have stories to share about that as well once I'm done with the projects. It was a successful day, but there's always more to do! Why is that? 

One last thing - here's an observation from the gym. We all know that people are addicted to their phones, right? It doesn't matter what age, but people are scrolling through that thing like mad. Social media? Personal messages? Reading a book? I don't know what it is, but the number of people sitting on a machine and scrolling through their phones is ridiculous. Or lying on the floor, and they spend more time scrolling than they do exercising. You may as well stay home! 

On a happy note, there's a virtual retreat this weekend, so be sure to stop by and say hi.

The Pony Express in action!

I love our Pony Express! We've shuffled many things around on it, and there's quite a stack at my front door. Granted, some of that is not technically for the Pony Express, but it's waiting for me to make some donation drop-offs. 

And I have to say that having friends who live in other places is a great thing! I was alerted to another amazing user bookstore in Brockville called Book Trader. They have a Facebook page, and I contacted them. Within minutes, I had a reply. I sent my list to them, and within minutes, I got pictures back of six more of the missing books. 

More missing books

That is fantastic service. The books were set aside for my friend, who lives near the store, to pick up. She happened to be out and about yesterday and the books are now in her possession. 

The books in North Bay have now been picked up and are waiting to be delivered to me. 

Books from Allison the Bookman in North Bay

I haven't received an answer from the other two bookstores I contacted, so I guess I know who I'll be doing business with in the future! 

I have another list of books I want, or should I say they are books that DH wants, and I did NOT have them when I started searching. OK - I had the list, but I didn't consult it! I'll wait a while before I start looking for his. Yes, I know it would have been more efficient if I had both done simultaneously. So now - from that list of 23 missing books, I'm down to 6. I will keep looking for those six, but I can continue reading in four more series, which is good. And I must STOP getting books from the library! 

Thanks to everyone who participated in the great missing book caper - Karen, Helen Anne, Carol, and Mary! You guys are the best! Although I think one of them, who shall remain nameless, thought I had scooped some quilt books and she would browse them. Nope - I dare not buy any more quilt books. Only novels that I'll read and then trade in or donate! 

Some authors are very hard to find in specific locations, and it appears that MC Beaton is hard to find anywhere! None of her books were located at those stores. 

Our medical system works in mysterious ways. And this all relates to that silly bone density pill. However, with all the weight training at the gym, I may not need a bone density pill. I got a chuckle yesterday when I was using the weight machines, and I returned to find two guys using one of my machines, which is no big deal. But I had to joke about the piddly 5 lbs (in addition to the machine's weight) on one of the shoulder exercises. This guy was lifting 70. He told me to try 70 next time as it's easier! Right! All in friendly jest, of course! 

Anyway, this bone density pill is to be taken once a week, and I have struggled with that, especially since the first one had to be taken 30 minutes before eating. That got changed to a pill that I have to take with food, and even then, it's just not in my routine. I have now put the container with the vitamins I take once daily, and hopefully, that will work better. 

Don't yet at me; don't offer me suggestions - I am just NOT a pill taker. Thankfully, I've never had to take medication in my life (OK - I did have asthma at one point, but that's different), so the pill-taking thing just doesn't work for me. Hopefully, putting it with the vitamins will help. And my vitamins are chewy ones, in case you think I'm a hypocrite! OK - I am, but that's beside the point!

Anyway, I had issues with the pharmacy with the initial prescription—they had me on autofill, and since I wasn't taking them, it was getting messed up, so they stopped that process. Then I got the new prescription, and that is NOT on autofill. It's long overdue to be renewed (yes—don't yell at me), and now I have to physically visit the doctor to get it filled. 

Again, I am grateful that I have a doctor, but seriously? What is she going to do? She won't run a new bone density test; she will just fill out the renewal prescription and fax it to the pharmacy. What a total waste of time for her and me. I know it's all about billing, but you know the system is wrong when the only legitimate way a doctor can get paid is to have a patient come in. A simple phone call to the pharmacy or a consultation on the phone would be sufficient. Alas -- it's a mess, and now you wonder why I want to get this thing renewed. It's way more hassle! And I could just lift more weights, and I should be good! 

I hate complications and follow-ups, and that's what medication is all about! I will hold off taking any medication for as long as I can. Actually, I should take a look at that bone density test and see what exactly it says! 

I was lazy as a slug yesterday, doing nothing more than reading and sleeping! I think I'm trying to catch up with all the stuff that went on in February and March. I had no Zooms yesterday, and without a deadline or an appointment, I can be as lazy as ever! However, I did work on three presentations for today. Two are ready, and the third is almost complete. 

I managed to sew a block from those 2" squares and 2 by 5" rectangles. It's a scrap quilt with browns, although the browns range from many variations and values. 

A block for my new scrap quilt

I aim to make light and dark blocks as best I can. 

A dark and a light block

Oh my --- I don't know what's got into Murphy these days, but she is very agitated! I know she wasn't a fan of the wind the other day, but this morning? I suspect it's rabbits or something. I've already taken her outside (on a leash) for a pee, but that didn't seem to be the problem. 

Yesterday, this was her while I was reading in the living room. You can see that this is one of her favorite hideaways by the dirt on the wall. She has to squeeze in there, but she does it. Yet, she can't enter the back door when it's partially open? Sigh.

MOM - I'm scared! 

After the restaurant last night, I decided to grab my book and sit in the new chairs. They feel different, to be sure, but with the motorized leg rest, it's easy to find a spot. And if that isn't enough, they have a motorized headrest as well. I was very comfy with my quilt. DH—not so much. Good grief! He will have to like them, or he can share a spot with Lexi on the old couch. 

Lexi is comfy on her old couch

I felt bad for Murphy, so I dragged the other side of the couch beside my chair, and she was quite happy to lie there. 

MOM - I love it here! 

The chairs have cup holders and big storage in the arm, so hopefully, nothing goes missing! 

Let's hope I can get more motivated to work after my three zooms today. There are two more tomorrow, and I need to do some work for those, not just put together a presentation! Maybe that will help me get back on track. 

Well, it's time to get the day started! 

Have a super day!!!

Ciao!
