When I posted about the Cranberry Cinnamon Scones a few days ago, one of the comments was from Anna Karin who said she had the same planter in the main picture with the lobelia. Now, the interesting part, she also has the same plant in hers. But the REALLY great part is, Anna Karin lives …

Autumn Anita’s Arrowhead
The Anita's Arrowhead block pattern is still available on their website. I quilted some of these quilts for a local hospice some months ago. I wanted to do a few small autumn projects, and this deceptively simple block was a perfect choice. I'll let you download the pattern from the source, but here are a …
State Fair Ribbons 2014
This has been a very busy time between volunteering for the Friends of the Library book sale and helping with setting up the quilt competition at the State Fair. The Fair opened on Friday and we were able to go that afternoon. It was a great time to go because the crowds were smaller and …
Cranberry Cinnamon Scones
These cream scones are wonderful plain, but I wanted to make them a little more special for He Who Loves Cinnamon. With autumn on the way, a little more spice and flavor is in order and cranberries fit the mood. I've made the plain cream scones from a Southern Living recipe many times, so …
Gone Girl, The Hundred Foot Journey, and Mark Lipinski
A book and a movie, not even close to the same genre, but I recommend both for different reasons. Plus, a neat surprise from Mark Lipinski! Gone Girl is a psychological thriller, one of the better ones I have ever read. I put on Goodreads that it was one of the most diabolical plots I …

Around the World Blog Tour
You know, for me it is a rare day to be the popular girl! Never happened to me in school, but I did get ‘tagged’ by two other bloggers at once for the Around the World Blog Tour. It is a blog hop, where a blogger tags you to share about your blog, then you …
Apple Festival 2014
One of the highlights of the year around here is the annual Apple Festival held every Labor Day Weekend. It is four days of fun, three with vendors and shows on the stage in front of the courthouse, and then the King Apple Parade on Monday. Henderson county grows 85% of the apples in the …
Rayon Challis Projects
Recently I pulled out a bunch of stuff to take to a sale, and among the fabrics were several pieces of beautiful rayon challis. I used to make a lot of my clothes, and these fabrics have been around my closet for years. I kept thinking I would sell them, but no takers when I …
Dog Days of August
It was a cool morning in August last Sunday, so I did a little garden cleanup. I needed to do some weeding, and clean out the dead flower spikes from the day lilies. I am pleased with the flowers this year, but the vegetables have been a complete bust. In case you all think I …
