Repeat After Me:
I am not a baker. I am not a baker. I am not a baker. This unbelievable mess is the cheesecake I was making for Christmas dinner. How could such a thing come to pass? Well, I'll tell you. Someone put my spring-form pan back together after it was washed, and got the bottom section…

My Heart is Full
This was the most magical, memorable, amazing Christmas ever. The festivities began Christmas Eve, when my daughter Sara gave me a little present. A little set of nesting dolls. Oh, but look!

Shiloh, My New Project

Ozzie’s On A Tear
Good gravy, is this dog getting on my last nerve or what? I've just been so busy lately, with the shopping, wrapping, decorating, sewing, that I haven't been able to devote my usual amount of time to Ozzie. He wants my attention and he wants it NOW. His usual method of getting me to focus…

What Sort of Blog Do You Like?
First of all, this is not my Christmas tree, not my mantel, not my house. Pretty picture though, huh? Thought I hadn't better reveal too much about my personal situation. My husband said to me at dinner yesterday,"Say, you don't get too personal in your blog do you? I mean, you don't talk about us,…

Getting There
Not much to share. Just lots of progress being made on Christmas happenings. Today was my major shopping day. I just about finished everything up. And when I got home, I even wrapped my purchases.
