I bought this lap desk for my husband, thinking he could use it to rest his laptop when he was sitting in his chair, which was most of the time. He hasn't used it once, but it works great for me as a reading accessory. It is so nice to rest my book on it […]
It was a beautiful clear crisp day in my neighborhood yesterday. I got started with my plans to sew every morning by starching the fabrics for my sister's Neutral Granny Square runner. It may be chilly, but that fabric dries fast anyway. I went up into the sewing room for the first time in ages […]
Merry Christmas everyone. This year things are a bit different for our family. The tree may be smaller and the decorations more minimal, but the gratitude I feel for all the love and support I get from all of you readers is tremendous. Thank you all so much for all the encouragement and words of […]
I'm so excited to have my son Ahren home for Christmas. We had a grueling car trip to pick him up from the San Francisco airport. Over eight hours in the car. But we are home now and all is well. The guest room is all cozy and set up for a special guest. I've […]
This guy is my hero. I call him my son-in-law, which he was at one time. He is Eva's daddy, a winemaker, and an all-around wonderful human being. He helps me out at the drop of a hat and is the person I call at midnight when I need a helping hand. He is always […]
It seems like we just can't get a break lately. Poor Dennis was practicing with his walker yesterday and his leg gave out on him and he fell. I was right behind him with the wheelchair, but he missed it. He wasn't injured, but he couldn't get up and I couldn't lift him. I called […]
We had a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. My husband is home from the hospital and is doing well. It was a beautiful day yesterday and he came outside for the first time in two months and was able to water some of the plants on the back porch. We have a week […]
I don't think I ever imagined I would write a post called "Freezing Bacon", but here we are. Honestly, I have abrilliant tip for you today! Actually two tips. The first is this freezer bag holder I got on Amazon. It holds your bag open while you fill it with soup, leftovers, or in this […]
Over the weekend, I pulled out the new Home Town Holidays fabric I recently purchased and gave it a good starching. I need some kind of holiday project to work on over the next couple of months, even though I have at least three Halloween projects that are unfinished for now. I do enjoy working […]
It is possible that no one but me will see my November holiday decor, but I put it up anyway. A lot of this decor was already up, but with Halloween figurines and runners. Swapping things out wasn't too hard. It's funny, but it gave me a sense of normalcy and happiness that I wasn't […]
