A September 2026 Life and Creative Update
Hi everyone! As many of my readers may have noticed, I’m been really quite online for the past few months. Even though I haven’t published posts, I have been watching my social media profiles and blogs. I just haven’t felt up to posting as much as I normally do. Since I’ve been so quite, I decided to write a short post about how I’m doing and what I’m working on.

Spring 2026 Orange Tree Blossom Photographs (And an Update on the Tree’s Health)
Hi everyone! In spring, the orange tree in my yard did something my relative and I didn’t think would ever happen again: It grew green leaves and blossoms. The orange tree, which is around 15 to 20 years old, was suffering from major problems. It wouldn’t grow leaves and any fruit it grew was not good. It was in such bad shape that my relative, whom I live with, was planning on getting rid of it. Before then, he decided to try something to see if the tree can be saved. It ended up working and it saved the tree! (The tree was suffering from lack of nutrients and correct…

An Early Happy 4th of July and Update on This Blog
Hi everyone! It’s been a few weeks since I published on this blog and my second blog. (The Estella Initiative) I needed time off blogging due to major burn out and to focus on my health and my relative’s health. Things are fine with my relative, but my allergies have been a major problem for me. Taking time off blogging has allowed me to spend my free time on figuring out what is going on with my health instead of constantly working on new blogs posts. Since I’ve been gone, I wanted to write posts on my two blogs about where I’ve been and what my plans are for the…

Creating a Throw Pillow Case Out of Extra Turquoise and Grey Scrap Quilt Blocks
Hi everyone! In last week’s post about the turquoise and grey scrap quilt I was making, I mentioned I had one block left over from sewing the quilt top. Prior to working on the quilt, I decided that if I had any extra quilt blocks, I would turn them into throw pillow covers. Since I had one extra block for this quilt, I decided it would be be perfect to incorporate into a throw pillow cover!

The Turquoise and Grey Scrap Quilt- Plans for the Blocks
Hi everyone! While working on my turquoise and grey log cabin quilt, I began to realize I was getting too annoyed and frustrated about quilting it. In order to reset my brain (And to make me feel better about my sewing abilities) I began to take all the scrap fabric from making the top and began to sew a scrap quilt out of it. I decided to make it the same way as the navy and yellow scrap quilt. For that quilt, which I talked about here on this blog in posts here, here, and here, I cut the remaining fabric from creating the log cabin block design and made…

I Found More NASA Fat Quarters at Walmart…
Hi everyone! During a recent shopping trip at Walmart, I decided to stop by the fabric section to see what type of fabrics are available to buy. That’s when I found out the Walmart I was shopping at has fat quarters with a NASA design on it. When I saw it, I was both happy and a little annoyed. I’m happy to see the fabric back in stock. I like the fabric and wanted to buy a few fat quarters (Or a yard or so depending on the availability) for my stash, but the store didn’t carry it for quite some time.

Space Scrap Quilt Progress: The Full Sized Blocks
Hi everyone! This is the last post of my Space Scrap Quilt featuring old progress photographs! Just as a reminder, the quilt top is complete, but it still needs to be quilted and sew a binding to it. I will talk more about that in my next quilt post. For this post, I want to show what the blocks looked like at their full size.
