A Peek at My Garden
I’ve been too busy to sew the past week, plus the weather has been too nice to be cooped up inside! We spent all day Saturday out in the garden and look what is going on out there! The photo above is our wisteria, not very well situated in a back corner of the yard. …

Easter At Our House
Easter in our family is always exactly the same. We all gather at Dad’s house around 11:00, and everyone always brings exactly the same offering to the pot lunch brunch.

Za Za
It can be a dull as dirt kind of day, and the UPS guy comes to the door in his little brown shorts and his good natured smile and says, "Here’s another one!" And he hands over a little square box of surprisingly solid weight. Suddenly, I love my day. I love my UPS guy. …
