Sunsets and Quilt Blocks
Goodness, did we ever have a spectacular sunset last night! My husband took this picture and captured all the glory of it. Amazing. So how is your Christmas shopping going? I am finding it really hard to shop for a few people on my gift list because I can't physically go to a shop and…

Full on Decorating
Thanksgiving was lovely. My daughter and her husband came with a smoked turkey and we feasted all afternoon. It was just the four of us, so I'm telling you, even after splitting the leftovers, we are not going to have to actually cook anything for days and days. We got our main tree up before…

Butternut Squash Soup
I am trying to replicate my son in law's recipe for Butternut Squash Soup. Which is the most delicious soup on the planet. Of course, he doesn't have a recipe. Basically, he told me to roast a halved butternut squash in the oven at 400 until it is soft. First, brush it liberally with butter…

One Little Red House
One little red house was all I got done yesterday, but with luck, more will be coming this week! The barn block was fun to make. I do not think I have ever made a block like this before. It was pieced on the diagonal and came out pretty well. For anyone reading my blog…

That Crazy Tree
Here was my tree a week ago Nov. 2. Glorious, right? It was so beautiful. This tree gives me so much joy every November. Almost overnight its leaves turn this amazing red color. But I shouldn't get too used to it. Unfortunately, the color show is extremely short-lived! And here we are six days later!…

Hallo Harvest Runner on the Table
Here she is, on the dining room table. "Night Flight" by Basic Grey. If any of you were lucky enough to get some of the Hallo Harvest fabric by Basic Grey when it was available, you should pat yourselves on the back. What a fun collection. I bought a kit for an entire quilt, and…

It’s Halloween Month
Of all my seasonal decorations, Eva loves the tiered tray the best. She gets so much pleasure in helping me arrange little figures and decor on it. I like it too because it keeps a lot of kitchy little objects together in one place. Here is a closer look at our creation. The front view…

We Did Our Own Thing Today
We haven't had our math assessment yet, we haven't had any of our online workshops in science and reading, so we spent our day the best way we could. By doing our own thing. We had breakfast, then went to the grocery store. Eva was in charge of the shopping list and led me around…

Have an Ohana 4th of July
Our national day of independence, the 4th of July is this Saturday. If you celebrate, I hope you do so safely and with those you love. We are having a small family barbeque at Eva's daddy's house. He is a fantastic cook, so whatever we have will be amazing. Eva is with her mommy this…
