I am not a baker. I am not a baker. I am not a baker. This unbelievable mess is the cheesecake I was making for Christmas dinner. How could such a thing come to pass? Well, I'll tell you. Someone put my spring-form pan back together after it was washed, and got the bottom section […]
This was the most magical, memorable, amazing Christmas ever. The festivities began Christmas Eve, when my daughter Sara gave me a little present. A little set of nesting dolls. Oh, but look! There is a note inside! What does it say? Keep going…. There is another note! What? What? Last one… No one has […]
Merry Christmas everyone! Thank you all for your support and friendship this year! I hope you have a safe and enjoyable holiday and a healthy and prosperous New Year. Here is a toast to you all for a year full of wonderful quilting projects!
I ordered this pattern from Bonnie Blue Quilts recently. Actually it is a kit. I loved the red and green, brown and gold color palette of the fabrics and the flying geese unit has to be my favorite thing to make. I had the entire day off yesterday, and certainly did not want to spend […]
OK, yes, there are a few things I am pretty good at. Skilled even. But not baking. I told you all I had given up Holiday Baking in an effort to make my life more sane during the Christmas season. Well, that wasn't all of the story. I gave up Holiday Baking because it was […]
My husband took this picture of Sophie, and I just had to share it. Here I am, all a-flutter with last minute Christmas details and look at my girl–what an example to us all. Here she sits in our dingy garage, leaning up against a packing crate, enjoying a patch of sunshine. Just sitting. Feeling […]
OK, you ask, what the heck is THAT? That, my friends, is a LUSH Emotibomb. For when you have partied to hearty and need to wake up and rejoin the living, as in *today*. This Morning. An "emotibomb" is something that you put on the floor of your shower, turn on the water to […]
Good gravy, is this dog getting on my last nerve or what? I've just been so busy lately, with the shopping, wrapping, decorating, sewing, that I haven't been able to devote my usual amount of time to Ozzie. He wants my attention and he wants it NOW. His usual method of getting me to focus […]
First of all, this is not my Christmas tree, not my mantel, not my house. Pretty picture though, huh? Thought I hadn't better reveal too much about my personal situation. My husband said to me at dinner yesterday,"Say, you don't get too personal in your blog do you? I mean, you don't talk about us, […]
Not much to share. Just lots of progress being made on Christmas happenings. Today was my major shopping day. I just about finished everything up. And when I got home, I even wrapped my purchases. It went like this. One present for Sara. One present for Ahren. Two presents for Sara. One present for Dad. […]
