It's here again. Already! Halloween, apple picking, pinecones and colored leaves. The season's fly by so quickly I can hardly keep up. We took a trip out to the Old Town main street the other day to pick up our fall and winter spices. It is an all cobblestone st...

Applique is usually reserved for embellishing clothing or quilted items. Unfortunately, that doesn't allow for much face time. Holiday applique is especially vulnerable to a short shelf life. But by it's very nature, applique is perfect for holiday decorating where it can be v...

Halloween is just around the corner and with so many costumes to make this year I decided two things: 1) They need to be fairly simple, and 2) I need to start earlier than I have in the past. The two older girls each have a definite ideas of what they want to be. But what ...

This week I finished putting up my Halloween decorations. I made a few new ones this year, since my old ones were simply falling apart. Instead of the scarecrow on the front door I made a wall hanging that is interchangeable for each holiday. But that is a project I will sh...

OK, I admit it. I despise making jack-O-lanterns. The carving is OK but in my mind cleaning out the pumpkin guts has never been fun. Yuck-O! And because it gets so cold here before Halloween these hollowed out orange decorations many times look like little old men by Trick or...

Halloween is closer than you think! I always get excited now that I have two granddaughters to watch. It makes the holiday so much more fun. I love listening to the older one tell me what she wants to be and deciding for her sister. Last year they were invited to a party. We had a great time c...
