Bittersweet
Our house is filled to the brim with family now. I’ve had 2 of my granddaughters staying with me for the past 2 weeks and last night my son, his wife and Lily arrived from Germany. Every bed is taken, the dishwasher runs everyday, along with the washer and dryer. There are gifts to wrap and a house to clean, but these times are precious and I’m thankful for every minute. My house is decorated with simple things this year and my granddaughters helped with every decoration. We made photo tags of family members and mixed them with little woodland animals on the tree. It’s the perfect Christmas tree…

Pat Sloan & Me
Today I’m featured on Pat Sloan’s blog. I think Pat is one of the most versatile women I’ve ever met and I adore her! Not only does she have talent, she’s also been blessed with the gift of gab. She’s a natural for a radio show. If you’ve never listened to her show, be sure and hop on over to Creative Talk Radio. You’re in for a treat! Then click on this link and leave a comment on her blog so she knows you came by. You could win a pink “Baby Cakes” kit and pattern from Bunny Hill! Baby Cakes is one of my favorites because it’s so…

Rain, rain go away
It’s been pouring rain and the wind is howling at the door. It’s a less than subtle reminder that winter comes to all of us, ready or not. Roses drenched in rain, are still blooming in our yard, just waiting to dance in the wind with our Christmas lights. Who knew December would be here so quickly and with such force? We should have planned ahead, I told my husband, because it’s supposed to rain all weekend and we haven’t put up the lights yet. I caught him smiling as he watched the rain through the window. Ha! Just let him think he’s getting out of putting up…

Thanksgiving
The day is damp with a bit of drizzle. Just enough to make us bundle up. The rain would be welcome this time of year and our umbrellas are waiting, but secretly I’m hoping it skips us today. Rain tomorrow would be just fine. I hope your Thanksgiving day brings you sunshine. Soon our dining room will be filled with the sound of chatter as platters of food are shared once again this Thanksgiving day. I was privileged to host some guests from Japan several years ago. They were astounded that we had this room in our house that we only used once or twice a year. It…

Christmas at Holly Hill
Holly Hill Quilt Shoppe opened up its classroom this weekend for the annual Homespun and Holly event. Fresh trees filled the room and the scent and spirit of Christmas was everywhere. Have you ever seen a quilt shop classroom decked out like this? It was amazing. Table centerpieces were perfect little boxwood trees carefully planted in a beautiful wood crates. A stocking filled with treats awaited each customer. Eye candy was everywhere. Visit the Holly Hill Blog to capture the spirit of this special event. Homespun and Holly happens once a year and it’s worth a trip to attend. A great start to the holiday season!
