The binding is going well. I've been sitting on the porch with an audio book and stitching for awhile every day. This Fig Tree runner looks so pretty on my dining table. I love the toned down colors for summer. The colors in this one definitely are not toned down, but it is so darn […]
Hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day. Mine was lovely. It was also Sara's birthday, so we had a double celebration. She and Eva came over for brunch and we sat outside and opened presents and had mimosas and a nice breakfast. I managed to catch the miserable cold my husband had while we […]
Ah. I am home from my trips, my laundry is done, the Easter decor has been put away, and my husband has gone back to work. That man has been sick for ten days with a horrible cough, fever and an ear ache. He lost his hearing in the affected ear and every time I […]
It has become something of a tradition for Eva to make a special Easter cake with me. This was our effort a couple of years ago. Eva is in charge of choosing the design, and as she has gotten older, she has taken on more of the decorating responsibilities as well. This is what she came […]
I believe I may be getting over my cold. Which is a good thing. I have had Eva since the beginning of the month because her daddy is traveling, and she has suddenly come down with the stomach flu. The less said about that the better, but the up shot is, she has been sick […]
I have been cooking up a storm in my new Instant Pot. I may have made the best soup of my life-Loaded Potato Soup. The recipe can be found here. The recipe was for the 3 Quart Mini Instant Pot, and made at least five servings. I have had it three times since I made […]
So guess what came to my house yesterday? I may be the last person on the planet to get one of these, but I am now the owner of an Instant Pot! The Instant Pot is the modern version of a pressure cooker, with the addition of the features of being able to saute and […]
I woke up to a winter wonderland Sunday morning. It had quietly snowed all night long, and our power had been out from midnight to about 6:00 AM. This was the view out my bedroom door. The trees were so beautiful with their branches all decorated with snow. But our driveway was somewhere under all […]
This was just too pretty not to share. I had this little Bear Paw table topper quilted nearly a year ago, and just had not gotten around to binding it. Valentine's Day is fast approaching and I thought it would be just the thing for a pretty tablescape. My problem was the red/pink is kind […]
I know. Is that pathetic or what? Ozzie has been through a bit of "stuff" lately. I am about to rant and rave a bit, so if that's not your thing, stop reading now. He had a little growth on his lower left eyelid, which was successfully removed just over a week ago. You can […]
