Last Saturday was our car club's costume drive, and we had an absolute blast. Our club met up in Asheville, lots of us in funny costumes. We had a great turnout of cars and members. Driving on the Blue Ridge Parkway was just surreal, the colors were so vibrant. I kept snapping off photos as …

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 …

Beaded Mason Jar Holiday Decoration
Last year I accidentally discovered that a flared votive candle holder will fit the top of a Mason or Ball canning jar. That post is here showing a filled jar with the candle. I wanted to enter a jar with that concept into the fair, but I knew that two glass pieces not held together …
Autumn 2015 October views
Autumn is coming late this year, there is still a lot of green left on the trees. A couple of storms have blown leaves off the trees up the mountain while others are just beginning to turn. Several nights in the 30s lately have encouraged a few to show some brilliant color. There are a …
Scraps – Using Up Some HSTs
Going through the scrap pile to make order out of chaos, I found a good number of half square triangles I could use in a project. Remember this mess? There were a lot more half square triangles in that pile than I remembered ever having. I pulled them all out, and squared them all to …
