This weekend my father-in-law came to visit us and we put him to work doing some home improvement projects. What a good guy! Tony “forced” me to my sewing room so that I would not be in the direct fumes of the paint. What a terrible time I...

This afternoon I decided to get some of the apples from the orchard used up. I now have 2 Caramel Apple Crunch pies in the freezer and we dove into a warm apple crisp after supper. I’m glad to have that project completed. And I’m sure we will be...

I saw a similar pumpkin runner and just had to make my own. I love how it turned out! It’s so very simple in design and quilting, that it comes off very modern. I made the pumpkins without doing any precise measuring and then finished the block to measure 10...

After a wonderful breakfast of monkey brains and fresh eggs, Tony and I headed off to the apple orchard. We had gone to an apple orchard about a week ago but we just weren’t feeling it so we left empty handed. Today we ventured to one a little more off the...

So I decided on the next knitting project. It isn’t any of the three things I was thinking about the other night, but rather an “advanced” project for non other than me. Oh what am I thinking?! I totally should not be making something for myself...

It has been cool and rather gloomy here the last couple of days, so Tony and I thought it would be the perfect time to head out to the apple orchard. We did just that, but took a little detour so Tony could see some public hunting land in the area. We were bumping...

It’s getting close to that time of year again–deer season! Tony and I depend on him shooting a deer for our “beef” supply all year round. By this time of year I am usually running low on ground meat, but still have plenty of roasts. The...
