When went to the Apple Festival, we came home with far too many apples. It is easy to do when they all look so scrumptious! However, we cannot eat them all fast enough (I like apples with peanut butter), and even baking Caramel Apple Coffee Cakes didn't use them all. The ones that were left …

Thanksgiving Cards 2015
Holidays are so much fun, and Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I just love this time of year with the leaves turning, cooler days and nights, wearing my sweaters but not needing a heavy coat, and playing with autumn colors. Stamping is part of that and once again I want to do a few cards …
Quick Quilt
Our local quilt club is doing some kid quilts for a local charity. I did two with Winnie the Pooh fabric using the directional print two ways. I figured that with a goal of 50, it wouldn't hurt to run up just one more quick quilt. It is so much easier with my stash to …
Slow Stitching Sunday #6
Wow, it is hard to believe I have been at this for six weeks! Progress is being made, though, and this week was a bit more productive. I finished off the scissors, in spite of all the knots that the metallic thread made. I got most of the way on the thimble. It was a …
Christmas Mystery or Quilt Along?
It is so much fun to play with EQ7, and I have a new design for a Christmas Table Topper. It will take just a bit to put together, and I thought we could have some fun. So, today I will give you the fabric requirements and cutting instructions for the project, as well as …
Autumn Drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway

Spiced Pumpkin Cake Donuts
Fall is time for pumpkin, and I usually bake loaves and loaves of pumpkin bread. This year, I wanted to bake something different for DH to eat for breakfast, and I haven't made cake donuts in a while. I needed to develop a new recipe that used up an entire can of pumpkin, but didn't …
Slow Stitching Sunday #5
Updating the ornaments, I got a a bit more done during the week. Panthers are doing really well, and I stayed up way too late last week watching that game. I did finish the sewing machine stitching. The little scissors gave me a fit, the metallic threads kept making knot and loops. But I got …
Halloween Breakfast
We are going to have some fun today, the car club is having a costume drive. Before we leave, we are having a Halloween breakfast to set the right mood for the morning. I set the table with some fun Halloween things, starting with a wall hanging that I am using as a table topper. …
Halloween cards and little goodies
Time to send out some spooky greetings! It has been a bit of time since I was able to do some stamping. I really love the autumn for stamping as I have lots of leaf stamps and fall inspired motifs. I also have a fair amount of Halloween specific stamps. This time I started with …
