It has just been so frazzling hot here, with humidity at 68% early in the morning, it is hard to get out and get some weeding done. I started early one morning, and had to come in after only an hour, in desperate need of a shower. Even though the temperature was only 70°F, combined …

Brass Band, Pipe Organ and the Moody Blues
We are lucky to live in an area that has so much to do within driving distance, cultural centers, performance halls, and museums in more than one direction. About 45 minutes away is the small town of Brevard, NC that boasts some of the best music venues and performances of the area. It helps that …
Comfort Pillow
Charity sewing is a wonderful way to give back to the community. I have a number of tutorials for making items other than quilts for chemo centers and nursing homes on my charity sewing tutorials page. The Fidget Quilts and Port Softie Seatbelt Pads continue to be popular posts, and today I'll add another tutorial …
Windsor Castle and St. Georges Chapel
While we were in England in May, we had beautiful weather the entire time. Most of the time was mild temperatures, with partly cloudy skies. When I did the poll, the second highest vote on what readers wanted to see from our trip was a tie, so we'll start with Windsor Castle and St. George's …
Slow Cooker Whole Chicken
Slow cookers are wonderful for making meals while I sew, stamp, or play with my glue gun. I've been using it more in summer than I used to, as it doesn't heat up the kitchen the way the oven does. Recently, reader Deb contacted me to ask what size slow cooker I was using in …
Mid Year Check in on Goals
It is coming up on the halfway point for the year, so it is time to check in with the goals for the year and see how it is going. Actually, pretty well!! The goals post is HERE. Since I am still working on the secret quilting projects, I can't show those just yet. But, …
Thrifting Fun and Some DIY
It was a fruitful few weeks in April and May, with lots of inexpensive goodies found. I got a full set of silver chargers for tablescaping, and originally I thought I would paint them, but when I found the silver snowflake dishes, I changed my mind. I'll keep them silver for now. The card making …
Summer Garden Tablescape
It feels like summer here with the warming weather. While I was cleaning out the kitchen cabinets, I noticed that I had a lot of things with a vegetable theme, so I thought I'd do a table with them. I started the table with my Farmer's Market Picnic Quilt. No chargers this time as I …
Patriotic Quilting Roundup
I have been working on secret projects lately that I cannot share yet. Of course, one is the Scrap Dance Square Dance Mystery, and another is my new pattern (currently in pattern testing) for my new Chocolate Covered Cherries quilt. I have some new readers, and maybe some long time readers, who have not seen …
Kensington Gardens
Next to the palace, Kensington Gardens encompasses a large parcel of land. There is a small formal garden next to the palace, but the bulk of the 270 acres of land is given to a large grassy meadow lined with trees on either side of a wide concrete walkway. This is devoted to public use, …
