The flowers on the veranda continue to be happy with the high humidity these past days. The geranium keeps giving me gorgeous blooms. The plant is really leggy now, and I need to cut it back, but I want to wait until these blooms fade. Sunset one day last week after a rainstorm had passed …

Lemon Twist Progress
Significant progress was made on Lemon Twist last week and yesterday. After I finished the blocks and sewed them together, I was fairly happy with the colors and layout. Here's where we left off. I decided to do the alternate border design that completes the lattice, so back to the sewing machine to make the …
Sunday Chat
Another week of exhausting heat, and I am ready for summer to be over. The humidity is stifling these days, and it rains almost every afternoon because of it. I admit a certain amount of nervousness as the weather people mention hurricanes in the ocean, and the news keeps going over what to put in …
Lemon Twist
I've had a lovely two days in the sewing room, and I finally am getting back to the pretty lemon and daisy theme fabrics with the pretty blue mason jars. I have a gorgeous blue with butterflies to go with it, along with another butter yellow with words on it called Zest for Life, and …
Sunday Chat

Working on Projects and Having Fun
Last week I got farther along on Koi Pond, and then was stymied once again. I finished beading all the fish, and they look great, but the purple beads do not shine as much as I had hoped. You have to be fairly close to the piece for you to notice them. The last element …

I am completely addicted to fried chicken, as my fellow guild members can attest to (when I am not eating sushi). The combination of delicate crunchy breading and tender juicy chicken …

Sunday Chat
So much to say this weekend, settle in for a long and picture heavy post. This week has been brutally hot, with highs in the 90s (which is really hot for us) and humidity at 85% first thing in the morning. Ugh, I hate this kind of heat. So, nothing for it but to hide …
Vegetables For Dinner
With the prices in the grocery store rising on a daily basis, it is getting more difficult to create tasty meals. I have begun to avoid many cuts of meat due to their expense. This creates a challenge to find new dishes to make to keep us from getting bored with the same few dishes …
