Spring finally arrives this week, so it is a perfect time to do a spring themed tablescape. I know most bloggers are doing rabbits right now, but I decided that chickens were the perfect choice for a breakfast table. Tulips and daffodils and my spring ceramic basket are a good starting point. Setting the table …

Aka Kuroguro Table for Two
This month I am sharing posts that are Oriental inspired, on a variety of subjects. Although I like a full table, and I don't mind a bit of clutter during certain times of the year, this Japanese inspired table for two begins with simplicity. Aka Kuroguro means Red and Black, so it is the name …
Mardi Gras Tablescape
It is Carnival season, essentially the month of January all the way to Fat Tuesday, which is February 13 this year. Another sewing day is planned, but I'm not quite sure when it will be. So far, we haven't been able to figure out when we can do another for reasons of weather and dates …
January White
After the richness and clutter of the autumn season and the holidays, I like to begin the new year with a clean and fresh look, simple and pure. Last night we got about 3 inches of snow, and this morning the view out the front windows looks much like my header photo again, just not …
Happy New Year 2018
Another New Year begins, and once again I am going to spend this day doing the things that I want to do all year long. I'll be enjoying a nice breakfast with newly retired DH (that's dear husband for new readers), watching the Rose Parade, doing a bit of sewing and maybe a bit of …

For me, quilting, cooking, …

Starting out with the stoneware Christmas plates, I set a table with a plaid tablecloth. These plates are used a lot this month, and each one …

Christmas Tablescape
Christmas is such a fun time for decorating, and doing special tablescapes for friends is at the top of the list. I've been having sewing days to get a big quilt top done for Quilts of Valor, and we've been doing pot luck lunches. I am blessed with a lot of friends, too many to …
Thanksgiving Tablescape and Blog Hop
Here it is November, and my favorite holiday is coming up. I love Thanksgiving more than any other day of the year. I'll get up early, make coffee, put the egg casserole in the cold oven and start it baking. Then DH and I enjoy breakfast while watching the parades, and start in on football …
Autumn Brunch
Autumn Jubilee wouldn't be complete without a pretty table and some yummy ideas for an Autumn Brunch. The idea of an Autumn Brunch reminds me so much of my mother. She and I loved to read cooking magazines and cook together, and never more so than when pumpkins were in season and a chill was …
