Cold outside means the garden moves inside. After leaving my violets out on the veranda all summer, they finally decided to bloom again! I had forgotten the color of the lovely purple and white variegated blooms. I am thrilled, finally I think I have figured out what they really need to bloom. The other one …

One Monthly Goal – November
My One Monthly Goal for November was only to get the red fabrics ready for cutting, and cut the pieces needed to begin. At the time I made that goal, I had a red mess after washing the fabrics. The color ran like crazy, and after I did the goal, I decided to wash them …
Happy Thanksgiving!
Wishing everyone a joyful holiday weekend! I wanted to share again my Thanksgiving post from two years ago about the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade, as the great majority of readers haven't seen it. It really feels like the holidays are beginning when this day comes each year, my favorite holiday. I always wake up with much …
Busy Busy
Today is going to be a day of fun. It is prep day for Thanksgiving, and I plan to get in a bit of sewing too. I know not everyone has the day off to do some advance cooking, but those of us that do can get a head start. Usually I would only have …

With a large meal later in the day, and sometimes snacks during football games, breakfast needs to be nice but not over filling. I do enjoy making the overnight egg casserole in a small baking dish, just enough for two. Sometimes DH …
Decorating in November
This is such a fun month to decorate, I get to see all my turkeys again. This year, the kitchen counter is graced with a lovely bouquet of flowers that DH brought me recently, just because. The pretty apricot color flowers went nicely with a large turkey and a small pie pumpkin. I like this …
November Wreath
Last month I did a post on Harvest Wreaths for Autumn Jubilee, and my MIL commented that she wanted one. Well, OK, any excuse to get out the goodies and play with my glue gun again!! Starting out with a grapevine wreath base, I added some fall color faux flowers and leaves. I also started …
