Hello, gorgeous! It’s Monday and we’re up at Tahoe, doing all sorts of spring cleaning.  It is still spring, right? Our heavy winter took its toll on the area, so there’s extra clean up. Bob’s been working on the sprinkler system and other manly chores.  I continue to perfect my housekeeping skills! Besides chores and…

Hello, buttercup! Happy Easter! I was just going down Memory Lane, remembering childhood Easters. I wish I had a couple of pictures to share, of us five kids, dressed for church, with our baskets!  My mother was an avid seamstress, back in the 60’s and she usually managed to whip up new Easter dresses for…

Hello, good looking! Thanks to all of you who joined our Demo Day, last Sunday!  We were happily packed with smiling, creative faces.  Now that I’ve finally “cracked the (Inlay) code”, I’m making plans on my next project…a beautiful antique buffet, that will get this beauty on it’s center drawers.

I remember as a kid, going to Catholic school, there was no green…

Hello, dear heart! At this point, I’m so thankful for every gorgeous ray of sunshine! How about you? Do I even need to ask?  One thing’s for sure, our lakes and reservoirs will be full, this spring.  I just wish there were a few more reservoirs, to contain more of this beautiful rain water! This…

Hello, dear one! Do you like to cook?  I do…most days.  This time of year, I love soups, stews, Italian dishes and roasted chicken…which is Bob’s specialty.  I love to have friends over, but struggle with ideas for appetizers and dessert.  Probably because there’s never enough time. What are your favorite easy appetizers? I’d love…

Hello, beautiful! I hope the universe is treating you kindly, this week.  I had a productive day today, getting lots done at home and at the shop.  Kind of a day to re-set. Did you see my video, on Facebook, making this sweet door hanger?  It’s a great way to welcome a little spring into…
