For some time I’ve noticed teapot cozies and thought how much fun it would be to have one. They aren’t something you see for sale everyday. Actually I’ve never seen one for sale, so I decided to try my hand at making one. I found a pattern online I was going to follow, but follow [...]

Sweet Feet
Posted in Crochet and Knit, For The Fun Of It, Making Things, Show and Tell on October 22, 2009 | 2 Comments »
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 [...]
Tea Wallet

One more thing before I really get to the business of the day. Last night I made a tea wallet for someone special. I’ve seen a few “out there”, but for this one I used my own ingenuity and winged it. I’m pleased with the outcome. I hope the special someone will be, too. I [...]
Giving Back
Posted in Churchy Things, Crochet and Knit, Making Things, Show and Tell on October 16, 2009 | 9 Comments »
My church’s ladies mission group is hosting a country store during our fall festival. We’ll sell various items with proceeds going to mission projects. In the cooler months I enjoy crocheting when I’m relaxing in the evenings, riding in a car, or waiting for a appointment. Over the past few days I’ve had one of [...]
I Feel Like Making…

something today, but time does not allow for it, so I’m sharing something I recently made. Last month I hosted a “Because I Have Two” giveaway. The very humble gift was recipe index book. I planned an unannounced surprise to accompany the book…unannounced mostly because I had not decided what the “surprise” would be…and a [...]
Dog Bone Neck Pillow Tutorial

Recently I brought my dad’s dilapidated neck bone pillow home, took it apart, made a pattern and sewed a new one for my mom. (I thought the ragged one belonged to her.) Not until I gifted the new one to my mom did I learn the old one was my dad’s. Today I made a [...]
Stolen Time For A Small Project

For days and weeks that turned into months I’ve tried to take time to sew…finally today I let everything else wait, and I made a small project from start to finish. My mom had a ragged dog bone neck pillow on her couch the last time I went to visit, and I said it was [...]
Fresh Yard Eggs
Posted in Chickens and Guineas, Making Things, Sewing keeps me sane. on March 24, 2009 | 8 Comments »
My SIL is selling fresh eggs out her beauty shop. She needed a sign to remind her customers to take their eggs home. I finally made her the promised reminder after much nagging. I should be ashamed, because the eggs are mine, and I kept putting this little project off. Scooping out enough time was [...]
Aunt Amelia’s Fig Cake
Posted in From The Kitchen, Making Things, tagged Recipes on March 24, 2009 | 3 Comments »
I never met Aunt Amelia. She was my husband’s grandmother’s aunt. Aunt Amelia passed away before my DH and I married, but her reputation of being a great cook still lives on. On Saturday I made a fig cake using her recipe. It’s moist and spicy and went over really well with my DH. It’s [...]

a “she bear” and a “he bear” for baby grands. The pattern for this little bear can be found at Bunny Hill Designs. It’s located at the bottom of the free pattern page.
Until next time…
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, [...]
