Have you seen The Christmas List? It is a wonderful, 1997 holiday movie owned by ABC, and they refuse to bring it out on DVD. I have personally begged them for years to release it, but every year they tell me "not this year". That is when they bother to answer the feedback emails. Amazon …

Well, the vote is in, and it was heavily in favor of a quilt along, almost 3-to-1 in actual numbers, so Quilt Along it is! Today I'll give you the first step, and at the bottom, will show the design. And there will be a warning for those who would rather not know what the …
When went to the Apple Festival, we came home with far too many apples. It is easy to do when they all look so scrumptious! However, we cannot eat them all fast enough (I like apples with peanut butter), and even baking Caramel Apple Coffee Cakes didn't use them all. The ones that were left …
Holidays are so much fun, and Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I just love this time of year with the leaves turning, cooler days and nights, wearing my sweaters but not needing a heavy coat, and playing with autumn colors. Stamping is part of that and once again I want to do a few cards …

It is so much fun to play with EQ7, and I have a new design for a Christmas Table Topper. It will take just a bit to put together, and I thought we could have some fun. So, today I will give you the fabric requirements and cutting instructions for the project, as well as …
Last Saturday was our car club's costume drive, and we had an absolute blast. Our club met up in Asheville, lots of us in funny costumes. We had a great turnout of cars and members. Driving on the Blue Ridge Parkway was just surreal, the colors were so vibrant. I kept snapping off photos as …
Fall is time for pumpkin, and I usually bake loaves and loaves of pumpkin bread. This year, I wanted to bake something different for DH to eat for breakfast, and I haven't made cake donuts in a while. I needed to develop a new recipe that used up an entire can of pumpkin, but didn't …
Updating the ornaments, I got a a bit more done during the week. Panthers are doing really well, and I stayed up way too late last week watching that game. I did finish the sewing machine stitching. The little scissors gave me a fit, the metallic threads kept making knot and loops. But I got …
