I’ve been a bit lapse posting blog updates recently, so today I’m playing catch up and have a number of shots taken during the last week of March – when we were still complaining about the snow. I’m glad to report that it seems like spring is finally deciding to arrive – albeit slowly. I’ll …

Hello Darlings! I missed you last week! I'm always amazed at how sidetracked I get when my husband is off from work. He took some...
As promised, here are some of the crafty items I've recently made. I guess the best way to do this is start with the newest and work my way back. That nephew of mine that got married in March is going to be a Daddy come December. So, a baby shower gift was planned as soon as I knew it was going to be a boy. I found the adorable, vintagey, little boy print and knew a quilt would be just perfect. I love pinwheel blocks! I finally finished this up less than 12 hours before the baby shower, but everyone loved it. Here's the back. Next up is a Trick-or-Treat swap I sent out last week. I've been hoarding Halloween fabric (mostly Fat Quarters) and I knew it was time to cut into some of them... so I made this tiny owl ornament and then this Trick-or-Treat bag. I had a bit of trouble sending that bag away. I love making Button Fairies and yet I had never made one in a Halloween theme. So here she is... And lastly for this swap I made a SPOOKY banner. It's difficult to photograph the whole banner, So here it is, 2 bits at a time. And here's the whole swap package with a handmade card and a few more treats tucked in. I tend to get carried away with holiday swaps. My swap partner was thrilled. And that makes me happy. Have you seen enough yet? No? Okay, you asked for it.... I did one other swap this fall and it was for an Autumn theme, handmade, or decorated tea towel. When I think of tea towels, I think of redwork style embroidery. I found an embroidery design (shared by one of many generous people on FlickR) with cornstalks and pumpkins. Just the thing for fall. My swap partner loves chickens, so I added this pair from a different embroidery design. I thought it all worked out nicely. And here's the whole swap, including the required Autumn recipe and a bonus hand knit dishcloth. Here's a few more dishcloths I knitted over the summer. And some more knitting.... Slippers, tagged up for my craft show. And a bow knot scarf in Autumn colors. Well, that's all I have time for right now. I know I have a 4th of July banner that I haven't shown yet. Also a couple of new aprons were sewn up. I'll try to find those pics to share real soon. Thanks for visiting.
Wow. Am I glad that December is over! The stress of the holidays, kids out of school, and everyone getting sick ( twice in some cases) is b...
These are the ladies I aspired to be. I always looked forward to growing up and getting to wear hats and gloves and crystal beads and big shiny brooches, big full skirts with narrow belts and crisp lacy slips underneath, carrying a pocketbook and an embroidered handkerchief. I loved to look at the illustrations on the patterns…
A white trench coat is also a staple piece that I always bring out during the winter because it's classic.
We know where good intentions are said to lead, but I really had hoped to have a follow-up to my last post written much sooner. Time has a way of getting away from me...it stands still for no man or woman. (Historically it did stand still one time. Does anyone know when?) April swept past without…
