Here’s my hello to 2008 display. Every year I pull out my grandmother’s post card collection and find a post card from 100 years ago. Both of these are from 1908. It’s about time to change this display to something else. Maybe Valentine’s Day! That’s one month away.
My curtain pattern came this week. It doesn’t seem too complicated and won’t be terribly hard to make. The worst part will be the panels because they’ll be long and bulky. I may just make the valences and not do the side panels. I had hoped to look at fabric this weekend, but it didn’t…
Happy 2008! Hope everyone had a good New Year’s Eve and Day. On the 31st, I got a last run in for 2007 and then picked turnip greens, collard greens, and spinach in my running friend’s garden. The greens still had a sheen on frost on them and it made picking a painful experience. Hubby…
Could someone please tell me to get off the computer and get to work? I just found a pattern on the Pate Meadows site that would look great in my dining room. I’ve got to do something with the windows in there. The curtains in there were my first home sewing project and the style…
This is not the official invitation. I just wanted a pretty picture. We’re going to a re gifting party tonight. Everyone brings a wrapped gift and we play dirty Santa style to exchange them. I wrapped up a calendar that my mom received for “Women of a Certain Age.” It looks like each day will…
Is your tree still up? Both of mine are. Our main tree is in our family room and I am not ready to take it down. I love the extra light that it gives the room and I still am enjoying my ornaments. We have a lot of ornaments. Both of us had a collection…
Have you seen these? I read about them on Heather Bailey’s blog. https://heatherbailey.typepad.com/ I just ordered a set of short ties in black. We’ll see if I’ll be able to style my hair with them.
I already miss it. No ponytail for a while. What am I going to do?? I kept seeing that stupid Posh Spice and admiring her hair cut. My stylist, who I adore and completely trust, gave me a version of Victoria’s do. I don’t dislike this cut, it is just too much work. My hair…
Today is my brother’s birthday. He would be 37 today. In January 2002, on the last day of hunting season, his boss accidentally shot and killed him. My life has not been the same since. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of him and miss him. Frederick left behind a wife and…
Wouldn’t these tapes spice up some boring brown boxes that are mailed to relatives?
I love a full day. Yesterday was just like that. I ran, then went to a tennis clinic, then went to a warehouse shoe sale. Look what I got for $17.50 – total! $15.00 for the boots and $2.50 for the shoes. Most of my boots have heels and kill my legs by the end…
Every year I like to do at least one thing “new” for my Christmas decorations. I decided that I would group many of the antique pieces of glass that my grandmother gave me and fill them with sparkly ornaments and garland. I like the way it turned out. The red ornaments are older (I bought…
