I got a beautiful set of flannel sheets for Christmas. So soft, and warm, I love them. The set came with two pillowcases. I need 4 more. I have a lot of pillows on the bed. I went to Kohl’s where the sheets were bought to pick up some more pillowcases. I picked up […]
It’s very busy around here, as we are getting ready for Christmas. Lots of baking and creating going on. Many years back, we decided to pick names to exchange gifts rather than getting everyone in the family a gift. The family was getting bigger and money was getting tight. It was agreed upon that […]

I’m ready to part with one of my machines. This is a big step for me. As I was cleaning and tuning up the White 1505 I was thinking to myself what a nice machine it is. I even contemplated keeping for myself, but I really can’t. I have to make more room and go through […]
My assignment: make some cookies for the annual Christmas Bazaar at church, where the cookie table is very popular. Don’t you get sick of making the same chocolate chip cookie all of the time?

The Victory Binding of the American Woman’s Cook Book Wartime Edition 1943I picked up this cookbook at an estate sale over the weekend. I’d never seen one like it before, so I grabbed it. This edition was published in 1943. After I’ve gone through it some more, it’ll most likely end up for sale at Aunt […]
The warm, fuzzy blanket all ready for the benefit.I’m very happy with the way this turned out. It’s just as I’d hoped it would be. It’s soft, cuddly, and looks nice, too. It’s about 70 inches by 56 inches – a good size to use while sitting on the couch on a cold evening. […]
