At the sewing machine again…. 

These are addictive….

I have a few moments before I get on with the rest of my busy day which includes watching the little baby next door! YEAH! I love babies!

I wanted to share with you the wonderful package I got from my swap partner on Swapbot. I hadn’t been involved in a swap for several years on this site but decided it would be fun again. Boy am I glad I did!

Just look at the thoughtful package I got in the mail!  She looked at what I do and totally customized the package for me. She even saw that I love tea so she sent a couple of kinds for me to try!  Thanks Holly!!!

Isn’t it funny that Holly sent to Halle… Same name…different spelling.

It’s always nice to see that there really are a lot of wonderful people in this world…  The news can make you question…that’s why I like to live in my own little suburban bubble most of the time.

Check out what my friends are up to today…you’ll find the links on Kimmies blog.

I felt totally inspired this morning…I’m sending this off to a friend who reads my blog so I’m only going to show a little snippet or two until it arrives.


This is the only kind of snow I want to see anymore this year!  Cute faced little snowmen on my side table.
I’m sitting warming up from moving more snow…this time off the roof…again. I have a big pile in the driveway..waiting for the plow to come through before blowing it all away.

Yesterday, the boy and I spent almost and hour and a half trying to get to an appt that was only 13 miles from our house. The roads were crazy due to the temperature and rate of snowfall right at rush hour. Or maybe I should say rush HOURS. The plow trucks weren’t able to keep up with it and it was a little too cold for the chemicals to properly work.  

UGH…can you tell I’m still bitter about the snow.

Ok..back to my tea…relax…deep breaths… ah that’s better.

Go see what my Tea Tuesday friends are up to today. You’ll find the links over on Kimmies blog.

While I was under the weather but well enough to do something…I decided to crochet another twirly scarf. This time I used some worsted weight wool (I think) that I bought at a local yarn shop while on my quest to learn to knit. Shockingly, it only took me about 2 hrs total. Such a quick and awesome pattern.

Tonight as I was picking up the dinner dishes I noticed what was keeping my girl so captivated at her plate…

Love in angel hair pasta… oh, to be 8 again….

My mom surprised me with a small box of “orphaned” cups and saucers last week. (ah…who is it that used that on their blog!!!)

She said…” Don’t know what you’ll do with these but I’m sure you’ll find something. Or else sell them.”

This one was in instant favorite for me. It looks like a mug but is very small in size.

I know this cup is very old. I’m hanging onto this one as is. It will find a home in my lawyers cabinet when I’m not using it.

Stop by Kimmies blog to see my Tea Tuesday friends…


Found this great looking book at the thrift store and knew it would make a fantastic book purse.
I reclaimed the handles off a super ugly purse from the same thrift store and dug through my fabric stash for the lining.

I went ahead and listed it in my Etsy store a little earlier today.
