Springtime Tablescape
Spring is right around the corner and everything is in the process of turning green. Little shoots of new bulbs are peeking out of the ground with the anticipation of flowers to come. Thinking green in March seems traditional, not only for St. Patrick's Day, but just because it is spring. It seemed a green …
Cabbage Rolls with Brown Sauce
Something about the month of March makes me crave cooked cabbage. Corned beef and cabbage is a wonderful meal, but have you seen the cost of a corned beef brisket lately? A bit pricey, so I decided to go a different route. All the recipes I found on the internet had a tomato sauce, not …

Panko Crusted Deviled Turkey Breast
One of my favorite things to do is to cook for guys. It is fun to prepare something hearty and flavorful, and watch it disappear with second helpings. Recently, I had one of my husband's friends over for dinner while his wife was out of town visiting her family. DH and best car buddy had …
Basket UFO Finished
Thanks to everyone that commented with suggestions on how to finish off this Basket Quilt UFO. I had a deadline, and I actually made the deadline. I almost forgot to show it at the meeting because I had so much more on my mind that day. Several key members couldn't be there, and I was …
Refashioning a Necklace
Do you have any of those multi-strand necklaces? This one was sitting in the drawer not being worn because two of the chains were starting to look tarnished. Plus it was a lot of necklace at once, actually just too many strands. So, I decided to take it apart and recycle the individual strands into …
