A series of shots I took, just walking around the house with the camera yesterday at 6 p.m. I am going to plan to take the next few days off and I'll be back by weeks end or Monday. Much Love.

Another day, another peacock in the works. I'm basically learning how to become better at embroidery by continuing to do these peacock samplers. See? Just.Do.It. It's my motto. I don't do anything very well (yet) in the embroidery dept. But I am getting better. One learns by doing. And doing....

Once in a while, a hen gets "broody." That means she sits on a pile of eggs and waits 21 days for them to hatch. If, however, the eggs are not fertile (there is no rooster around) then the eggs will not turn into chicks. (I'm hoping you knew that...

Around Here

Around here the flower beds aren't quite getting the love they need. Little messy flower and veggie beds everywhere I look and I'm tired of it! Today I hope to go out and do some weeding and trimming and loving on those little beds. But I'm a little slow on...

When I was a kid, in the 70's, my mom used to embroider on my dads shirts. I'd love to embroider some flowers, etc... on the edge of The Brad's shirts. But, the 70's are long past. I know and you know Brad would never go for it. Such a...

heads up

We've had quite a week around here. I've been tending to one of my girls who had a frightening bout with allergies. Many visits to various doctors ...and I could go on. But I'd rather suffice to say that all is good now, under control and very nearly back to...

A few non-congurent sightings into our week so far. Hey man, sometimes there's a lack of flow. That's life. ~ A newest "child-size but could also be a lap size" quilt up on Etsy. (One of my personal faves so far.) ~This week I'm working on some that are a...

“Take risks, and you’ll get the payoffs. Learn from your mistakes until you succeed. It’s that simple.” ~ Bobby Flay I've always loved that quote. Simple, direct information to remember and live by. Here's what my world looks like under that lens (most of you are well-versed in these still...

When my kids were really little, like before the older one turned 5, I began doing a lot of thrift store shopping. Those of you who have followed my blog for a long time know I even hosted a "Thrifty Thursday" for a while where everyone could share their second-hand...

monday's talking points

2013-04-22T09:58:55-07:00

I like Mondays. Around here, Mondays are for cleaning up, grocery shopping, planning the week ahead. This morning is peanut butter and honey toast. This morning is noticing the pretty garlic growing in pots (the ones I planted in the ground don't look so keen.) This morning is Brad begging...
