I have been a pretty loyal Rowenta customer for years. I go through irons really fast, due to keeping them on for hours at a time, and steaming the dickens out of things. A good iron lasts me a year, maybe two, and then I need to replace it. My last Rowenta, gosh, I bet […]
Gorgeous weather here, and I am trying to surround myself with as many pretty blossoms as I can. I ran out to the garden center (part of my local Ace Hardware store) when they opened at 7:00 AM today, and picked up a trunk full of blossoms. These are only petunias, as we don't get […]
Just a quick note to say all is well, I've just been busy. I was away this weekend visiting family, having a lovely time. Hope to get back in the sewing room today and work on my Blogger Girls BOM blocks for this month! My neighbor's lilac bush has just started to bloom, and is […]
Ok. So I haven't done a post on grooming since, I guess, my home waxing debacle. We are not going to talk about that little incident. But I had something so astonishing happen in regard to my self tanning product, that I just have to share. Maybe over share. St. Tropez is a very high […]
So happy with my elegant Easter tablescape! I finished Joy Luck (pattern by Carrie Nelson of Miss Rosie's Quilt Company), made from the beautiful Little Black Dress fabric collection by Basic Grey for Moda. I quilted it with the wiggle stitch on my Bernina, and am pleased as can be with the results. I had […]
New Year's resolution posts can be boring as sin, so I hope I won't be guilty of that! It is hard to let the new year just come and go without some reflection however, and here is what I have been thinking about. Remember how last year at New Year's so many people were picking […]
Doesn't it seem as though December just flies by? So many things to do, and the days are over before they begin. I have made some time to decorate, but not on the scale to which I normally aspire. That darn baby is just into everything, and all my decorating seems to be about four […]
It is a last minute rush around here the past couple of days. Those are the last of the mug rugs in the photo above. You know, I am thoroughly tired of making those things. They really are too much work for what they sell for. People like them though, so I keep producing them. […]
I think it rained this entire weekend, non stop. It didn't stop us from getting out and about though. We did all our Thanksgiving grocery shopping, saw the new James Bond movie, had the kids and Grandpa to dinner, and tweeked my display at the winetasting shop. It was a weekend of comfort food, starting […]
How clever is this invitation? My sister Andrea makes the Halloween Party invites each year, and this year she may have outdone herself. I don't know how she does it. Most of us are quite familiar with the Ouija board, having had them when we were kids. I love the little magic triangle indicator, don't […]
