It’s been a busy weekend, but a fun one: lots of extra activities, church services, and time with friends. And now,this afternoon is being taken over by schoolwork. I have a small collection to finish rendering and a pair of trousers to sew. At least there’s more than enough sweets to go along with the [...]
Yesterday, was Christmas and it was a truly wonderful day. We got up not too early and I made coffee and Joel read the Christmas story and Cors sniffed at the presents that smelled like rawhide bones and tasty treats. We didn’t have a white Christmas but we had lovely soft lights and a nice [...]
Saturday my friend Abby and I went down to the Pulaski Park Fieldhouse to the The 6th Annual Renegade Craft Fair Holiday Market in Chicago. We’re quite the Renegade veterans these days, but I wasn’t prepared for the huge size of the crowd. It was a crazy-good turnout! Maybe I should have been and maybe [...]
So as promised, I’ve put together a photo heavy post to bore you with my vacation memories share a little bit of our lovely Williamsburg, Virginia holiday. We ended up being there at a kind of funny time. All the harvest things were over and the Christmas decorations were only just going up, but it [...]

Especially to pals who might not be expecting anything or might even be feeling a little forgotten on Feb. 14th. In past years I’ve filled envelopes with [...]
I hope wherever you are you got to spend New Year’s Eve just the way you wanted to! We had a houseful of friends over and way too much to eat! Joel made his famous pizzas, there were cheese and crackers and crusty breads, sweets and lots of contributions from our pals. After cups of [...]

I’m not sure why but it’s seemed more happy and peaceful. I hope yours was wonderful! I was one of the first ones up on Christmas. [...]

And to all of my international pals I hope you’re having a beautiful day, too! We spent the morning watching the parade and dog show and working [...]
Tonight’s recipe is from the lovely Becka of Bliss in a Teacup. Her tweets about late night baking always make my mouth water! I’m so excited that Becka was able to snatch a few moments from her busy days of blogging, creating things for her lovely shop and getting ready for a big move. Thanks Becka! Becka’s [...]
