As 2015 Ends
The end of 2015…. It’s held… Ups and downs, good days, not-so-great days, smiles, tears, pain and fears, JOY, gratitude and giving, lots of living, memories made, hellos and good-byes, baking and farming, questions and answers, growing and changes, hard days, happy days, blessings abundant, FAITH and audacity, learning to live loved, embracing that I […]
Yarn Along {You Are Special}
We spent the week of Christmas in Ohio with my family. It was a good week. I wasn’t sure how traveling would play out this year with my surgery happening the beginning of December. It worked out to go and I got along pretty well riding and traveling. Yesterday was three weeks since my surgery […]
Ten Things In 2015 That Make Me So Happy
This week’s Ten Topic is Ten Things You Did in 2015 That Make You Feel Proud. I tweaked it a bit, because some of the things that popped into my head don’t quite fit under that category for me, but they make me SO happy! 🙂 1. Hand-knitted leaves and pom-poms. They’ve both been so much […]

Ribbon Candy
I wanted to find some old-fashioned ribbon candy to use as decor for Christmastime and I was delighted when I did! I had fun opening the box and finding out what colors and designs were inside. So intricate and beautiful! I can’t decide if I like the solid colors or the stripes better. I […]
To Always Gaze Upon That Baby
I want to see the baby in the manger, yes, I do, I want to gaze upon him with a child’s eyes and view, I want to see him all wrapped up in his swaddling clothes, I want to gaze upon his little fingers and his toes, I want to smooth his hair, all downy, soft, […]
A Bit of Christmas
Just a little look at some of the bits of Christmas decor that sprung up around our home for the season! I love nativities and I thoroughly enjoyed styling my china cupboard for the season. I found some old Christmas ornaments at an estate sale this spring. I was thrilled when I discovered them. […]
Yarn Along {War Room}
A quick Yarn Along on this Christmas week! A little corner of a dishcloth started… More pom-poms! I have two sizes of pom-pom maker and I’d only made pom-poms using the smaller one. This week I made some bigger ones. They’re just as much fun as the smaller ones! The two sizes look cute together! […]

Just Taking It Easy
The countdown is on! Christmas is coming! Christ HAS come! Marvelous, wonderful news. My week held a lot of taking it easy, a lot of pom-pom fun, food delivered to us, some frustration with having to ask my people to do things and not able to just do it MYSELF, thankfulness all the same […]

I’m sharing a basic gift package idea with you today. You could add items and round it out and make it into a larger gift package if you wanted! My basic package is a bottle of this Cupcake Moscato Wine and cupcakes, of course!!! I’ve used this idea for birthday gifts and for anniversary gifts. […]
Christmas Gift Wrapping
Several years ago, I started choosing somewhat of a theme for my Christmas gift wrapping. One year I used all silver paper and purple ribbon for all the gifts. One year I had really cute, sparkly-colored, polka-dot paper and striped paper and chevron paper that coordinated. Another year I did a deep red polka-dot paper […]
In Our Wardrobe {No. 15}
Here’s what’s been in my wardrobe recently! Comfy clothes! Cents of Style launched this sweatshirt from Money Saving Mom a couple of weeks ago. I loved it. Of course. {You can see my Choose Gratitude tee over in this post.} I ordered it and it arrived this week. PeRFeCT timing! Because it is comfy and […]
Christmas Paper Flowers
This is a simple paper flower tutorial. I have had fun making some this fall. We’re customizing them for Christmas, using Christmasey colored paper! You need paper, hot glue gun, glue stick, scissors and embellishments. You will start with a few strips of paper. To get a good size, I use at least four strips […]
Icy Winter
This is what it looked like for a few days around here right after Thanksgiving! Icy winter came to call. Ice is beautiful and it certainly puts on a dazzling display. Yes, it is beautiful. But treacherous too. Beautiful from inside a warm house. Not so wonderful when electric lines are jumping around like […]
