Cold days and snow on the ground makes me hungry for tummy-filling, hot, comfort food. Of course, I don't want to spend all day in the kitchen when I could be sewing, so the slow cooker comes out. Sometimes I like to use the post roast seasoning mix from the grocery store, but this time …

January Clean Out Project and Thrift Store Finds
January just seems like the right time to pare down, so I am cleaning up and clearing out. I am laughing as I write this as I hit some thrift stores in Brevard recently and scored a number of great finds! But as new-to-me comes in, some old has to go. Each year I try …

Romantic Table for Two Blog Hop
With the romance of Valentine's day on the horizon, it is time to think about a romantic dinner for two at home. I am delighted to join Chloe for her blog hop Romantic Table for Two, ideas and tablescapes. Perhaps the 14th will have you eating out, so a nice meal at home may be …
January in the Garden
January means little to do in the garden outside, but there are plenty of things to do inside. I am my annual mode of reading my new Farmer's Almanac, perusing the seed catalogs, and scrounging for gardening magazines at the thrift stores and library magazine exchange. I already repotted my orchid, and I have needed …

It is unusual to have two friends in at the same time, but the really amazing thing is that they were at …
Beef Barley Stew for Two
I like beef and barley stew, but one of the problems with making it is the quantity it usually makes. I have found that I really don't care for leftover food much anymore, and would rather have something fresh (or at least freshened, LOL, see my Creative Leftovers). For our holiday meal we had a …
Labeling Quilts and Keeping Records
How often we quilters talk about labeling your quilts! We say that labeling is not only to remind you when you made a quilt, but to tell others that you made it and when, but it also has another purpose - one I hope you never need. I think most of us wait until after …
Winter White
Now that the holidays are truly over, I like to create a cleaner space after the clutter of the autumn season followed by Christmas. For me, going to to an all white decor is a rest for the eyes before getting to the rich Valentine reds and Mardi Gras colors of February. The snow over …
Another Lesson on Measuring Borders
Recently, I was discussing borders with a lady after her quilt was done. I asked if she had measured the borders and she said yes she had. But they were too big, and it occurred to me that I have not yet talked about why you need to measure a certain way to get the …
