Category: Around the House
You haven't heard much from me this week, because I am up to my eyeballs in holiday preparations. The house is all decorated, the Christmas collections (snowmen, Santas, fairies) all displayed. The decorating is just about complete. My week has been spent on Shutterfly projects. Have you heard of Shutterfly? They are a company you […]
The tea party was such a smashing success we have decided we must make it a yearly tradition! My favorite thing was the cucumber sandwiches. Super easy. I mixed Philadelphia Chive and Onion cream cheese with a touch of mayonnaise and spread it on little rounds of dark rye bread I cut in circles with […]
I found the perfect red and yellow roses for my Royal Albert Old Roses inspired centerpiece. Doesn't it go great? So excited for my little party this afternoon. I made scones and my taste tester Miss Eva tells me they are wonderful. I used a Pioneer Woman recipe called Vanilla Chocolate Chip Mini Scones. They […]
Well, this is a first. We have our Christmas tree up and it isn't even Thanksgiving. My husband bought a new faux tree this year, and since the boxes were sitting right in front of our front door where the UPS man left them, my husband decided to go ahead and set it up. And […]
Really Ozzie? What is it with dogs wanting to lie down on anything you place on the floor to take a closer look at? As you can see, I am well on the way to having my red and white quilt finished and off my design wall. As I type this, I have the top […]
Lately I have been wondering where on earth my day goes. It goes, that is for sure, and I have been feeling I don't have much to show for it. I was struggling with finding a topic to blog about, since I have not been sewing, when it occurred to me that I should just […]
Sorry I have been such a bad blogger lately. Life is just getting in my way I tell you. Here are a few things we have been up to. Eva and I made unicorn pumpkin cookies this weekend. Now that is a concept isn't it? We had the candy corn and while we were decorating […]
I'm proud to say I applied myself to the task and completed the bindings on four quilts over the weekend. Three of them were table runners, but they are done and I am enjoying them as part of the Fall decor. That's my dining table above. The runner is my own creation. Inspired by a […]
I thought it was high time I got out my fall decorations. I spent a couple of hours this week going through my things and putting out some favorites. I think I typically over do it, and this year is no exception. I just can't seem to edit myself. That is my mantle, above. I […]
Sorry for the little break. I have been playing catch up with all the things I let slide the past couple of months. My grand daughter is back at school now and normally things would be returning to a regular schedule. We are getting things ready for our visit to Ireland during the month of […]
