Wrapping and Ribbon
I was hoping for more interesting content for you all in my effort to post every week day before Christmas, but I swear all I did over the weekend was wrap packages, take Eva to see The Grinch, and wrap more packages. The Grinch was adorable, and I enjoyed it as much as she did. …

Christmas Stockings for Your Dog
Do you hang a Christmas stocking for your dog? Yeah, we do too. The cute ones shown above can be ordered from PetCo, but you better hurry for delivery by Christmas. You could also make your own, which I did about a hundred years ago. I still have the stocking: It is pretty sad looking,…

Shop From Home
The photo doesn't really do it justice, but this little kitchen vignette is one of my favorites this year. I bought a tiny fake tree at my local hardware store of all places, and it is just the right size for my little quilt from last year. I strung some of those battery powered mini…

Holiday Preparations
You haven't heard much from me this week, because I am up to my eyeballs in holiday preparations. The house is all decorated, the Christmas collections (snowmen, Santas, fairies) all displayed.

Really Ozzie?
Really Ozzie? What is it with dogs wanting to lie down on anything you place on the floor to take a closer look at? As you can see, I am well on the way to having my red and white quilt finished and off my design wall. As I type this, I have the top…

Where Does the Day Go?
Lately I have been wondering where on earth my day goes. It goes, that is for sure, and I have been feeling I don't have much to show for it. I was struggling with finding a topic to blog about, since I have not been sewing, when it occurred to me that I should just…

Bad Blogger
Sorry I have been such a bad blogger lately. Life is just getting in my way I tell you. Here are a few things we have been up to. Eva and I made unicorn pumpkin cookies this weekend. Now that is a concept isn't it? We had the candy corn and while we were decorating…
