Up To My Eyeballs in Alligators
I got a bit of sewing in on Sunday morning, but I have been swamped with projects for the past five days or so, having to do with my part-time job. I work as a writer for a marketing firm, and usually, my workload is quite manageable. However, we have taken on a new client…

That Crazy Tree
Here was my tree a week ago Nov. 2. Glorious, right? It was so beautiful. This tree gives me so much joy every November. Almost overnight its leaves turn this amazing red color.

Little Village Week Two

The Little Village Quilt-a-Long
Have you heard of The Little Village Quilt-a-Long? I know, I know, another quilt along? Yes, but this one is special. Honestly, what is it about 2020 that makes me want to participate in every quilt along I hear about? I want to feel connected, I want to do something that is sustainable and will…

Halloween Was Different This Year
Halloween may have been different, but it was still pretty fun. We had our own Halloween party instead of the usual trick or treating, and I don't think any of us were the worse for it. Here is Eva seeing if Ozzie gets the concept of trying to bite the swinging cookie on a string. …

Happy Halloween, I Guess
Well, this is a first. Our annual family Halloween Party has been canceled. In the meantime….wear a mask!!!! Consequently, I won't be sharing my usual costume parade and Halloween treat recipes. Maybe next year… Back at home, Eva and her stepsister Sydney are carving pumpkins. After a satisfying dinner of pot roast, gravy, and local…
