I have one more new recipe for you for an easy side dish that will freshen up the turkey or ham leftover dinners. It is nice enough for a special meal, like Christmas eve, but easy enough for a Tuesday night meal too. Acorn squash is easy to cook and has a fresh squash flavor, …
Late November Garden
There is always something going on in the garden, even in late November when the air is chilly. We've had several dark and overcast days, lovely rainy days to stay inside to sew or stitch or read. Then we get brilliantly sunny days that set the colors in the trees to light. While most of …
Happy Thanksgiving!!
The best day of the year is tomorrow, so today I'll be doing some prep cooking and baking some Rustic Egg Bread. I get really excited about Thanksgiving, planning a great meal and having fun making dishes from scratch, setting a pretty table and enjoying the day. See my post from 2014 for lots of …
Finishing the Autumn Wool Work Table Runner

Thanksgiving Ideas to Try Something New
With the holiday coming next week, preparations here are well underway. Decorating, cooking and sharing time with friends and family is the heart of the holiday. With over five years of posts, sometimes it is good to revisit past posts with holiday ideas. In looking back, I realized I've not done a post on stuffing/dressing. …
Working on the Autumn Wool Work Runner
Picking up where I left off during Autumn Jubilee, I have made a bit of progress on the Wool Runner. I wasn't able to finish it before the end of the event, so I had to continue working on it in November. If you missed that and you'd like the free pattern, click on - …
Raw Edge Applique Quilt Repair
Bringing a well loved quilt from tatters back to usable is always a gratifying project. Recently this one came to me for some tender care. It is certainly well loved, with three sections ripped through to the back, and the entire binding shredded or missing. It wasn't quilted, it was tied, which does contribute to …
