The Stashbusters Challenge has been fun for the past two years, and it is so easy to do that I decided to continue it in 2024. It is laid back, just report what you have brought in and sent out over the past month, keeping a year to date total. No, you do not have …
Turning the Page to 2024
It is 2024, and I am happy to turn the calendar over to a new page. I am looking forward to this new year in the hopes that the issues of the past couple of months are resolved enough to go smoothly now, at least for a while. I thought it was a good sign …

In this time of holiday cheer, I’d like to take a moment to thank you, dear readers. It is humbling that so many of you want to read my ramblings, and take the time to comment. I am very grateful for each of you, those who only read, those who do the projects I offer …

This past week, a gathering was held by the Apple C0untry Woodcrafters, to distribute the toys to the agencies that will be serving the children. The room was set up with tables for each agency and stacked up with the toys each one would receive. Cradles, wagons and strollers with bears and quilts were under …
A MINI Christmas
