I have recently discovered the joy of embroidery. My mom taught me to do counting cross-stitch as a young girl, and I did enjoy that, but I love having the pattern on the fabric. It cuts down on frustration that comes from miscounting! With my dad’s birthday coming up, I really wanted to make a […]
Watercolor Leaf Prints
We have a very lovely shrub growing in the back of our yard (I have no idea what it is). It’s made of tall stalks that put out beautiful clusters of snow-white blossoms. These blossoms are fleeting and turn to brown husks in a matter of days, but they bring honey bees and it’s lovely […]

When I was a child, my grandmother had a large shelf in her living room. The shelf featured different knick-knacks and decor of all kinds. She had a metallic music box, shaped like a stick-figure playing a small piano that I loved to wind up and listen to. She had a very large, beautiful pink […]
Raspberry Lemon Cupcakes
A few weeks ago we were out of town for a wedding. We passed by a bakery that had a sign saying “Raspberry Lemon Cupcakes are back!” We didn’t have time to stop, but they sounded so delicious that they were on my mind the rest of the trip. Dessert day dreaming! When we got […]
Banana Frozen Yogurt Popsicles
It is starting to get hot! My son has learned the art of eating Otter Pops (it legitimately takes practice), and last week I dug out my popsicle molds, ready to make some cold treats .
