Good morning. Let's start off the day with a nice photo of the pear tree in bloom. I went out when the sun came out earlier in the week to get a better shot of the lovely white flowers with the mountain background. It is something to help your mood this morning as we all …

Sunday Chat – Christmas Ideas and a New Visitor
Dawn over the mountain to the east this past week brought beautiful color with the clouds reflecting the sunrise glow. The quiet of the early morning is a nice time to enjoy a hot cup of coffee, just breathe, and plan the day. Looking south, it is lovely to see the dark architecture of the …

Making Thanksgiving Cards
I got my Thanksgiving cards done on time this year, whoopee! In a fit of stamping frenzy, I made a bunch one morning. Sometimes the inspiration is just there, and with the pretty new papers I got from IOStamps, and a score at a private sale, I had plenty. I got out some leafy prints, …
Autumn Jubilee Fun with Stamps and Ink
Using stamps to have some fall fun today, we are going to do several projects, and I also have an offer for someone. If you have stamps and ink, get them out with your fun papers, and let's start with a few cards for family and friends. We are going to stamp on more than …

Sewing and Stamping
What fun we had yesterday, sewing and chatting on Zoom. Thank you to all who were able to come. I really needed some quilty fun and I enjoyed the day a lot. I got a fair amount done, too. I removed sleeves from two quilts, and made a permanent sleeve for my Twinkle Twinkle Pumpkin …
Sunday Chat
This past week was spent out of town dealing with some family things. It was a tiring week and I am happy to be back home. But, I don't have a post for you as I haven't had any time to do anything fun or even to do any writing. So, to have something for …
Cards, Stashbusters and a BOM
Recently, my blogger friend Jeanie at Marmalade Gypsy and I were chatting on email and she made a comment in frustration that I thought was a brilliant idea. Christmas was so busy and was going by so fast. We both were lamenting that there was no time for cards when she said "I swear, next …
