Easy Corn Salad
I made the best corn salad yesterday. It isn't so much of a recipe as it is a list of ingredients, most of which you see in the photo above. I had 5 ears of corn, which I cut off the cob. I combined the corn with a diced red pepper, a diced jalapeno, and…

This and That
I had my tiny little table topper quilted, and it came out so cute! It is the perfect size for a candle or vase of flowers. Still need to do the binding, but at least I have the fabric and know where to find it. I needed more fabric for my Sweet Escape blocks, and…

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…

An Abundance of Eggplant

This time she left these gorgeous eggplants, some amazing peppers and the best cherry tomatoes I've ever had. She…
