This stamp set is really cute, and just the right idea for the card I needed. I wanted to send my cousin something fun. I also wanted to have some fun with my new embossing machine. It wasn't a big expensive one, just a small one, but it works really well. So, I got out …

Mid-April in the Garden
Yesterday was a very busy day for me with a meeting in the morning, and a bunch of errands to do including picking up my torenias from the garden center, checking out the humane society thrift store, and hitting Pier One's sale. Of course, while I was there, I had to get a few more …
Cute Fabric Bowl
Sometimes I run across something that just strikes my fancy, and I have to try making it. Such was the case with this cute little gathered fabric bowl. I found the tutorial on a blog called A Spoonful of Sugar, and you can get the full tutorial HERE. Lisa and Sarah show their version with …
The Cookbook Collector – Book Review
I read this novel some time ago, and posted a short review on a Goodreads. I had mixed feelings about this book, so here is an expanded review. The Cookbook Collector by Allegra Goodman was billed as "a delicious novel about appetite, temptation, and fulfillment" yet I did not find it so. Isn't it …
Early April in the Garden
April is warm, and sunny, and I am really antsy to get into the garden. But, I know better. The prediction for the next few days is to have overnight lows in the 20s! The last frost date is still a week away, and I am not going to pick up my annuals until next …

A Drive for the Love of Dogs
Saturday had beautiful weather for our second drive of the season with the car club. This one was special, as it was a benefit for the local humane society. Everyone who knows me knows I am an absolute sucker for a terrier face. Any dog face, really, I just love them all. When the local …
March In The Garden
A warm spell made it possible to get out and do some clean up in the garden for the last two weekends. It is still too soon to plant any annuals as our last frost date is mid-April. I did call the garden center and reserve my usual flat of torenias, and I'll pick them …
Quilted Art Project Update 4
I know, it has been a couple of weeks since I showed any progress this project. I had to set it aside while I worked on the Moda Bake Shop recipe that published this past week (Pin Woven Tote on the sidebar). Between that, the charity quilts, the car club, and spring springing, little time …
Wild Orchid Pin Woven Jelly Roll Tote For Moda Bake Shop
I am thrilled to announce my second recipe for Moda Bake Shop! I used an older technique that I haven't done in quite a while called pin weaving. Although I enjoy quick and easy like anyone else, sometimes I like to stretch with a difficult or time consuming project. This one will take a weekend, …
