Nature Journaling
Finally started a nature journal. This is my second page in it. I found these things on our nature walk in the yard today. The “club” moss isn’t really club moss… just moss with club-like things on it. Have yet to identify it… or the leaf. I thought the leaf was wild geranium but nope. [...]

Kids’ Wildflower Art
Here are drawings from both Jessie and Sam for week 7 of Wildflower Morning’s Wildflowers in Winter blog-a-thon. (click them to see a larger version in a new window) I didn’t expect Jessie to draw for it but she heard Sam and I talking and wanted to join in on the fun. Sam’s drawing is [...]

Wildflower Art
Down to the wire here with my submission for Wildflower Morning’s “Wildflowers in Winter” blog-a-thon. It is based, loosely, on this picture I took last year. I only used a quarter of a sheet of watercolor paper so I may try it again. (and again and again). I only had 45 minutes to do this [...]

I won! I won!
Talk about a great way to start the week… Maki of justbento.com emailed me to say I’d won her copy of “Face Food.” I’d left a comment to enter the giveaway and forgot to check back. Oishii! …means delicious, which describes everything I’ve tried from justbento.com

Winter Wonderland
Woke up this morning to a winter wonderland. I didn’t realize it was supposed to snow! If you follow the link on that picture you’ll see other shots taken today. The kids and I built snowmen while Bob burned things. LOL! Best part of that is the wood pile is gone (as are the rodents [...]

Wildflowers in Stitches
Week 5 of Wildflower Morning’s Wildflowers in Winter blog-a-thon. Again, I have something to share that was passed down from Grandma. It is a table runner. I’m not positive, but I’m pretty sure she made this and the other matching pieces. I can’t tell if the tatting is hand-made. Thought the “cornucopia” of flowers was [...]

Fun Project
Using the instructions found here and basic supplies, I made these two handmade, handbound, hardbacked books. Here are links for the inside front covers of both (inside pages are just plain white) and the spine of one. I learned a few things making these so I’m hoping the next ones will be even better. I [...]

Grandma’s Tea Cups
Week 4 of Wildflower Morning’s blog along is “Wildflowers in the Home.” I was thinking that I really didn’t have anything to show (shame on me). I need to remedy that since I really do love wildflowers and weeds. Hmmm…. that would make a nifty blog name, eh? Anyway. This morning I read one of [...]

C&I Tuesday
Ok, so it isn’t Tuesday. This tuesday was too busy for me to get to this, so here it is a day late (if I can finish this post in time… if not I’ll just post date LOL!) Anyway. This first piece is another largesse item. Outer dimensions are 8 1/2 X 11 inches. It [...]

Busy Weekend
Saturday I went to the Amish community for groceries. There seemed to have been a run on eggs just before we got there. I only came home with two dozen. I did get a couple gallons of milk though and these were much richer than the last. Picked up various other things… flour, oats, dried [...]
