Valentine Breakfast

Since I decided to do breakfast instead of dinner for Valentine's day, the tablescape is simpler.  What better way to put a little romance on the table than with these pink depression glass dishes, a pattern called Cherry Blossom. Aren't they sweet on the pretty white placemats? There are paper heart napkins under the red …

Popovers with Black Cherry Creme

Most years the focus at Valentine's Day is on dinner, doing something special, whether going out or having a nice meal at home.  This year, we have a party to attend on February 14, so I thought I'd make a special breakfast.  I have a lot to show you, so settle in, and enjoy my …

Valentine Cards

I am in a pink and red mood lately, and the Valentine cards I made this year reflect that.  I have a new package of vellum I have not used before, and I thought I'd give it a try.  I got out pink card stock, red stamp pads, and a page of red suede paper. …

Quick Method Pants Hemming

If you have a serger, you have a head start on doing alterations.  It isn't just for sewing knits, you can do all kinds of finishing work and help with mundane tasks.  Almost every pair of pants I purchase is too long, so I have to hem them up.  I found two pairs in my …

A Cozy Valentine

February is the time our thoughts turn to chocolate, well for some of us. Others like a little romance. But for those that like a little mystery in our lives, cozy mysteries give us a little of both, and sometimes some chocolate too.  This would be a great time for Chocolate Covered Oreos!  Oreo molds …

January 2015 Garden

It is cold outside and not much is happening in the outside garden, but inside, there are new things happening.  The violets apparently like their new bit of soil and feeding, new leaves are appearing. New leaves are shooting up from my sage plant too. I have high hopes for this amaryllis.  My mother in …

Table Stand White Quilt

When I get in one of my Victorian moods, it is hard to stop embellishing!  The white on white table stand quilt is a good example.  I kept going and going, like the you-know bunny!  Pearls were added to the lace heart.  If you missed part one construction and quilting, click HERE. Details were added …

Table Stand Quilt – White on White

I got a table quilt stand last year, specifically to display my Miniature Mariner's Compass.  Problem though, the quilt is too small, or is it the frame is too big?  Either way it isn't going to work, so I needed to make something else. I have decided to do a series of quilts for it, …

Low Carb Crustless Anything Quiche

What can you do with the little bits of things left over from the week? Those bits of meat and vegetables, too much to throw away and too little to make a serving? I know a lot of you out there make soup. My brother-in-law likes to put leftover veggies cold in salads. Actually it …
