I was tidying up in the house in all of the usual areas that are visual. It’s not Spring but some necessary spring cleaning became apparent when I opened the cupboard under my kitchen sink. What was I thinking? How could his be? I don’t think this is how this is supposed to look? I… Continue reading

Color Change!
I’ve had a case of writer’s block as of late, to be honest. I attribute that to being too busy, the Olympics are on and there’s some change in the air for me. I feel it. Hopefully good change, but as everyone experiences, you take the good with the bad. Being too busy is my… Continue reading
Fun with Flags!
In honor of July 4th, I decided to decorate since the neighbors all have flags on their porch. I didn’t think that attaching a flag holder to my porch was going to happen successfully so I got crafty. I’ve seen flags banners all over and thought I might try making some of my own. Here’s… Continue reading
People Make the Party and So Does Spinach!
Vegetables, not exactly healthy when mixed with cheese and put in a French bread loaf. It makes for a great party dish though! I wasn’t sure that I was going to make this as we had a ton of food already. I showed this Pinterest pic of a yummy bread loaf with spinach dip to… Continue reading
Marma-Failed Oatmeal Cookies
This was the second time that I made these cookies but this time didn’t go as smoothly as the first. So what this tells me…I should have documented the first batch for this blog! Oh well, I didn’t. I’m not perfect. I still served the cookies at a party and people still ate them. So… Continue reading
Let Them Eat Cake!
I love celebrating happy occasions with family and friends! Who doesn’t, right? Every Valentine’s Day has been special since I met my friend John, as that was the day he was born (25 year ago – wink, wink). Actually, as we get older, I really do think we are getting better with age. I know… Continue reading
Quilt Imposter
I got a bit busy lately but there’s been some good stuff that I’ve been doing! I went to QuiltCon! It was a quilting convention down the street in Pasadena at the convention center, so I didn’t have to travel far. A friend of mine went the first day and managed to get us free… Continue reading
Orange You Glad I Made Marmalade!
I’m not sure what possessed me? I have always wanted to be that person with homemade jars of stuff on their shelves. Perhaps it was all that watching of Little House on the Prairie and my love of Anne of Green Gables (especially the story where Anne makes her best friend drunk with currant wine… Continue reading
Sparkling Strawberries
A friend of mine had a few friends over recently. Several of us haven’t seen each other since before Early December so there was much need to celebrate and catch up! Since there were New Years resolutions and health conscious goals, I tried to find something to bring that was celebratory without being super rich… Continue reading
A Clean Start!
It’s the time of year where there is change in the air and New Year’s resolutions weave into conversations as we make plans to conquer another year! For me, perhaps because of the December that I went through, I am thankful for family and friends. I’ve been trying to find ways to thank all of… Continue reading
