Fungi for Patty
Posted in For The Fun Of It, Marvels of Nature on November 2, 2009 | 4 Comments »
I’ve always been intrigued by fungi, but since I learned of Patty’s love for them I think of her every time I see striking ones. These fungi are for Patty’s pleasure.
Until next time…

Keeping My Teapot Cozy

Last night my DH and I kicked back and watched a couple movies. While I was “watching” I tried out a crochet pattern for little people slippers. The pattern was easy to follow, and the slippers turned out sweet. The embellishment idea was my own. Without the rosette they looked oh [...]

Being in a blue mood is not necessarily a bad thing. Blue is tranquil and soothing. It partners perfectly with tea.
Blue Willow china has been a favorite of mine since I was a young girl. I chose a Twinings Indian Spiced Chai today. I had never tried this brand before, but I’m sure to buy [...]
Where The Wild Things Grow
Posted in Churchy Things, For The Fun Of It, Growing Things, Marvels of Nature, Show and Tell on October 18, 2009 | 7 Comments »
These are pictures taken at different times over the past few weeks. I had intended to post them as they were taken, but life, being what it is, got in my way. All subjects are not actually “wild”, but since our entire grounds have become, it fits. All subjects are masterpieces from the Master’s hands.
The [...]

What is a tea cup exchange? The name pretty much says it all. You give a tea cup of your choice…and you receive a tea cup of another’s choice. Those interested in joining in will be given a name and address of another participant to send a pretty tea cup and saucier [...]
