A Day Without Glitches

Ahhhhh.  (~sigh of relief~) 
My computer is computing today without a hitch or a glitch…we have a conflictless cyber day.  Here’s hoping the real world will be as glitchless and trouble free. 
Earlier this morning I took a walk around the back of our property.  Mimosa’s are in full bloom in Mississippi, and I [...]

What A Day!

“Mercy!”, she wailed in a loud, pleading voice.  I probably should have cried “mercy” much sooner.  Maybe some of the headache “flavor of the day” would have/could have been avoided.  It’s likely I brought on most of my troubles, but I am not a computer geek and tried to solve what appeared to be a software [...]

Ruffled Feathers

A springtime homesteader has taken up residence on our back porch.   Each spring I move the house plants I manage to salvage before winter’s first freeze out of the wash room onto the back porch.   The older I get the more select I get when choosing which plants to save.  One that is always at the top [...]

Retro Aprons Rock

I made it to town and back again.  Every trip I make into that asphalt jungle reminds how thankful I am to live outside the city limits.  Asphalt kicks up the temperature several degrees…hmmmm IF there was anything mysterious about global warming I’d vote for blaming asphalt.    It doesn’t take a rocket scientist [...]

Old Threads From New (pt 2)

My Barcelona skirt made the cut.  After placing the pattern on my fabric two or three times, I managed to fit all the pieces parts in a way it worked out, if no other place, in my mind.  After a little finagling I figured out how to fit the apron pieces in…it will be an improvised version of Amy’s, [...]

Homegrown Tomatoes

For the first time since Katrina blew through, I’ve planted a few things for the simple pleasure watching things grow holds.  The satisfaction of looking out over my “green babies” is one I’d almost forgotten.  When I spotted my first tomato I broke out in a shout of glee.  My DH thought something had a [...]

New Threads From Old

Amy Butler’s Barcelona Skirt pattern is on my “must make” list.  A shop owner in town ordered it for me a couple weeks ago, and I’ve contemplated making it since picking it up a few days ago.  I read comments from other’s who have already sewn this comfy, classy skirt and am ready to get [...]

Thru The Bible…

Those of you who know me are aware my DH is struggling through a very difficult, eleven month long, medical treatment.  I won’t even suppose dealing with this life-altering experience from the perspective of a care-giver and source of support has been even remotely as difficult as it has been for him, but my life has [...]

A Doll For A Doll

Over the past couple weeks all my creative energy has been focused on making things to join my DS and DIL in celebration in honor of their new son…my eighth grandchild.  This morning I completed the final piece…a doll for Lily…the big sister. 
It’s been years since I made a rag doll.  Doll making is not [...]
