Have you been bitten by the chevron bug? For a year or more chevron has been the rage yet I still don’t own a thing in that pattern. I wanted to make a wreath for February that incorporated red and was inspired to make a wreath with a chevron pattern. The chevron pattern doesn’t stand…
Today I’m sharing a family favorite cookie that brings back so many wonderful memories. My grandmother was a wonderful cook and baker. When she came to visit, she would arrive with tin after tin of assorted cookies. The cookie that we most looked forward to eating wasn’t in a tin, it was in a Russell…
Do you have trouble getting motivated to exercise? Motivation is especially hard in the winter when it’s cold outside. The gym is always warm and the televisions built into the cardio equipment motivate me to stay on a piece of equipment often longer than I intended if I get involved in one of my favorite…
A few weekends ago we visited the OBX (Outer Banks of North Carolina) for a weekend. We got really lucky with the weather and had temperatures that were fairly mild. Sherman adores the beach and took numerous walks there. Sherman can’t resist getting in the water. I think he couldn’t figure out why the water…

If you’ve been a long time reader of my blog, you know that I love to make wreaths, especially wreaths for holidays. My front door has been bare for a good while and a recent few days off from school allowed me time to craft a wreath for Valentine’s Day. A door with a wreath…

Are you a magazine junkie? I am and I come by it honestly. My grandmother subscribed to I don’t know how many magazines. When I’d visit her, I would read and read and she’d send me home with stacks of magazines to enjoy later. When Granny was still living, digital magazines were in their infancy. …
