When I cut up the Christmas panel, I made three sections. The large wreath on the left was finished into a wall hanging, and you can see that process HERE. The smaller sections with the pine cones and greenery were finished into table runners. Each one was treated differently, so today, I'll show the first …

We Need a Little Christmas…
right this very minute! At least a little bit. This will definitely not be the best Christmas ever, in fact it is going to be a hard candy Christmas at best. We are going to have to work harder than ever to find holiday cheer and joy this year. I went back and reread my …
Beginning the Christmas Panel
Did you change your decor this weekend? I did some decorating, a bit of cleaning, and got rolling on some sewing for the holidays. I have this Christmas panel pretty much done as I've been working on it over the past month. I'll break it into a couple of posts to show you what I …
Holiday Leftovers
This year with a smaller turkey, we won't have as much in the way of leftovers, but still, it is nice to make a fresh meal with a different flavor than our traditional Thanksgiving feast. I thought today would be a great day to show you some recipes to make the leftovers taste like a …

Thanksgiving Table for Two

Special finger food snacks during the football games, then a holiday meal in the early evening. Setting a pretty table …
Thanksgiving Ideas
Thanksgiving is this week, and this one will likely be much different than usual for many. This year, even if you cannot have the big gathering that is usual, it is important to make the day special. You are worth the effort, and I believe that keeping the day special will help us all get …
Late Autumn Drive in the Mountains
We had two nice late autumn drives this week, one with the Upstate MINIs, and the other with a new car club we just joined. We can socialize safely in the parking areas outside, and have a fun drive with pretty scenery. Things like this do help us keep the feelings of isolation at bay. …
Needle and Pin Sharp Container
Isn't it always a pain to throw away a sharp needle or pin? I am sure this is one reason why I don't throw away bent pins. I keep sticking the bent ones back in the pin cushion, thinking I'll deal with it later. Wouldn't you know, the bent ones are the ones I keep …
