Christmas Themed Masks
Even elves need to wear masks this holiday season. It's sad but true. My little elf turned up at my front door yesterday, outfit on point except for the missing mask. No problem. We got busy and got her fixed up. Have you tried the Creative Grids mask template? It is my absolute favorite. You…

Cute Holiday Book
For those of you looking for a cute book set at Christmas time, you might like In a Holidaze by Cristina Lauren. I got the Kindle version, and just finished it this week. It was a fun, quick read, featuring a character who is in a time loop, kind of like the movie Groundhog Day.…

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…

Happy Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving friends. I hope you are all feeling as thankful and blessed as I am. Even though we may not be together this year, I am so grateful for my wonderful family.

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…

Pineapple Express
My Red Pineapple quilt is now officially bigger than my design wall. I sure did cut out a lot of strips to make this quilt ten years ago when I started it! I think there is enough fabric to make it 6 rows by 7 rows. Plenty big enough for my queen size bed. Wouldn't…

Early Decorating

I like more symmetry in my blocks, so I sewed the units together a bit differently to get the look I like. My version is above, and the sample we were supposed to replicate is…

That’s Better!
I tossed and turned last night, fretting about my botched block from yesterday. Honestly, I was going to throw it out, but instead just left it on the table in the sewing room and walked away. I got up at 6 in the morning and went right upstairs to the sewing room to have a…

One of Those Days
I am sharing this block because it is about the only thing that actually turned out right today. Some days are like that, I guess. I won't say I should have stayed in bed, but it would have been a good day to sit in my chair and read. I would have gotten into less…

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…
