My First Comment!

I have not been blogging very long and there is still so much to learn.  I did receive my first comment! I am so excited.  My first comment was from Lori .  Lori will be getting a gift from me (can’t tell you what it is, she loves surprises). Lori has also agreed to be my blog [...]

The Smells of Christmas

I should be sewing but I am not feeling 100%.  Trying to fight off a cold and this afternoon the cold is winning.  I did spend the morning helping my mother make the Christmas Pudding and the Christmas Cake.  These are old family recipes that are only made at Christmas time (hence the names) and [...]

The Home Stretch

Well, I guess we are in the home stretch toward Christmas Day.  I am still working away on my little projects.  I still have much to do.  I did finish four pillowcases for my mother-in-law.  I love to make pillowcases.  After Christmas I am going to put together a tutorial on making pillowcases (I have [...]

Christmas Cheer

What a productive day!

Yeah!  I accomplished so much today in the way of sewing and crafting.  I finished my Advent Calendar.  I just have to purchase a rod to hang it up, but here it is with my daughter holding it up.

I also made another notebook cover and embroidered my daughter’s name on the front.  Oh, did I [...]

Advent

Ok, so my Advent is getting off to a somewhat rocky start.  I am behind!!  What else is new.  I went to Joann’s this weekend to purchase an Advent Wreath (don’t know where mine is!) and they don’t sell them anymore.  What is up with that.  So on to plan B.  I purchased a wreath [...]
