So, how many of us will have turkey left over? Quite a few I would guess, so I thought it was time to share some of my leftover ideas. One thing I have done in the past was freeze cooked, leftover turkey meat in quart size zipper bags so I don't get too tired of …
Christmas Hexagonal Table Topper
This is a really fast and very easy table topper to whip up for tomorrow’s open house or that last minute gift. All you need are 5 coordinating fabrics, just a few strips of each one. I have seen this done with all the same size strips, but I think it has a little more …

Thanksgiving Tablescape
It is a wonderful time of year for setting a beautiful table. Maybe it is just me, but I like mixing things together to create a work of art for the table. One thing that always bugs me is centerpieces that are too tall. I like to have a low decoration down the middle of …
