I have a new clothes pin apron and it makes me happy. I’d been wanting a new one. My old one had had some issues in the form of some holes that had worn through. It had been very serviceable for many years. I also had this wish for a cute clothes pin apron. Somehow it is more […]
Hello Again…It’s Monday!
Another week! Since I started posting “Hello Monday Happenings”, I am even more amazed at how quickly each week goes skipping by and away and another week rolls into its place to go skipping by equally as fast. Linking up with Lisa for lots of hellos… A few things to remember about this past week…A few […]
Rejoicing in Laundry on the Line
While doing laundry is a never-ending chore and while it sometimes sits, waiting…waiting…to be folded and put away… While laundry piles up quicker than I can turn around, and we are a small family…(Yes, you are thought about by me, mothers with more laundry) While sometimes I want to throw the fresh-washed clothes into the […]
Yummy Berry Fruit Cups
Here is the other fruit cup recipe that I like really well. The rest of my family isn’t as fond of it, but I don’t mind. ‘Cause I really like them! You can go here for my family’s favorite fruit cup. The recipe I have didn’t really have a name, so I made one up. […]
This and That Around This Farm
WARNING: Many Pictures of various variety ahead!! I snapped a variety of pictures over the weekend and wanted to post some of them. There are a few around the house that I had been wanting to take and finally managed to snap them. Amazing the way I can procrastinate on some little things. Simply […]
I Am Ecstatic!
My kitchen is cleaned up and I am ecstatic. I really am. I didn’t feel very well last week and I didn’t do much. I didn’t feel well, so I really didn’t feel like doing anything and yet, I had a list of things I really was wanting to get done. And when I don’t feel well […]
Cinnamon Rolls and My Butter Dish
This was the vignette on my kitchen table this morning. My daughter commented on it looking like a picture, so I picked up my camera and took some pictures. And then edited out the jar-of-peanut-butter-with-the-red-lid that was in the edge of the picture! Photo editing is so handily handy. I wished my table had some […]
My Basement Kitchen
My kitchen area… This kitchen area doesn’t necessarily have a set of dream cupboards in it, but they work and they are an improvement over the old metal cupboards I had at our old house. Plus, I’m used to mismatched, because our old farmhouse had wooden cupboards for the upper cabinets and metal for the lower. […]

Cloth Napkins
My daughter’s second sewing project was making cloth napkins. I love them. They are a very cute pattern and you could have all kinds of fun choosing different materials for making them. My daughter enjoyed making them and we are enjoying using them! These are the napkins ironed and folded… and this is […]
Bags and an Italian Measure Pitcher
I brought home some really cute bags after Christmas! My mother gave this one to me and it came from Sew a Fine Seam. Red is one of my favorite colors and this bag holds a lot and is easy to grab. I’m loving it! This one is also from Sew a Fine Seam and my […]
This Ole House
We live in a very old farmhouse. This very old farmhouse that we live in needs a lot of updates. It needed a lot when we moved into it and after fourteen years it needs even more. We’ve never done too much to it, because long term we really didn’t think we wanted to put […]
My {Messy} Picture Board
A couple of years ago, I got tired of the normal ole bulletin board from Wal-Mart that I was using. And amazingly enough, I, I repeat, I, actually had a moment of inspiration. I noticed this old screen in my old garage and it struck me that it would look really cute if I would paint […]
Christ, Our Savior Is Born!
Blessed Christmas!
Glittered Nativity
My glittered nativity…I like it very, very much! I like the sparkle and shine that glass glitter adds!
My Favorite Dishcloths Ever!
My Grandmother sent these new dish cloths to me with my Mother. These are my very favorite kind of dish cloths. My Mother taught me how to knit them several years ago, but I haven’t actually made one for a long time. My Grandma spends quite a bit of time knitting dish cloths and hands them out to […]
