A Little Fall, A Little Christmas
I am definitely caught between two seasons. I got out a few Christmas table toppers and purchased a couple of tiny faux evergreen trees, but I still have my glass pumpkins out and am burning fall-scented candles. The one in the photo is by Bath and Body Works and is called "Gather". I really like…

In and Out of the Sewing Room
I am currently working on some little Churn Dash blocks that I plan to make into a table topper for my kitchen countertop display area. The idea was to select "fallish" colors, but not be too drab. I've got a huge scrap bin of these colors, and have picked out lots of reds, golds, teal,…

Comfort Food- Potato Gratin
A gratin is a French technique where ingredients are combined with eggs and cheese and breadcrumbs. It is usually served in a shallow dish. A gratin is comfort food at it's best, especially if potatoes are involved. I found a recipe for a potato gratin on Facebook which I will share with you. Here is…

Jumping the Gun?
Sara came to my house yesterday, all excited, having purchased this cute lantern Christmas decoration. Now I have to have one too. It lights up and there are sparkly swirly "snowflakes". I love it. Is it too early? Well, maybe. Maybe not. I didn't tell her, but I am ahead of her with my holiday…

Quick, Before the Power Goes Out Again…
I have to post this quickly, as our power has been shut off since Saturday night, and just came back on (it's Monday around 11:00 PM). They tell us they are shutting us down again tomorrow until Thursday or Friday, so I need to get this up or I will miss my chance. I cannot…

What a Difference a Few Days Makes
Have I told you about the crazy tree we have in our backyard? I think it is a Liquidamber tree, but could be mistaken. It is very quirky in that it changes color overnight, then two days later, drops all its leaves. We were so excited to see all the fall colors last week when…

Organizing for Real People
My closet is a mess. I have too many things and a closet purge was way overdue. I started the process yesterday and made some pretty good progress. I am not the person they are thinking of when they want someone to demonstrate a capsule wardrobe or heaven help us, a 10 item wardrobe. More…

Great Get Away
This little trip up to the mountains has been the best getaway. We have had some wonderful weather, some great hikes, and some really lovely time together. It was such a good idea to bring Ozzie along with us, as his enjoyment of the outings has given us a lot of joy as well. It…
