Joy in the Mud
By on July 11, 2011 with
Sometimes, you just have to jump in and let go. There were sounds of screeching and giggling so I opened the curtain and peeked outside. Three of my kids sneaked out of the house, during a rain shower and this is what I found. Even my teenager (who is a clean freak by nature) was embracing the mud. They wiggled their toes in it...danced and twirled and even tried to drag me in. I snapped away, capturing a "childhood sibling moment" I wanted them to be able to recall even after years had passed. It's the moment I … [Read more...]

Fancy Friday ~ Fabric Inspiration
By on July 8, 2011 with
Well, I could wander around here all day. Many times I have. There is something about floor to warehouse ceiling stack of bolts and bolts of fabric that calms me. For awhile ~ until I start buzzing with ideas. While wandering this maze of isles I find inspiration. The inspiration to build ideas, tablecloths, curtains and pillows. The more projects I think of the more I start to giggle. I'm giddy now, high on ribbons and remnants and linens. There are plans for pillows and streamers. Then I call someone who … [Read more...]

Keensburg Colorado Road Trip Pitstops
By on July 6, 2011 with
There is a lot of open road on our road trip to Colorado. And, at the end of a dusty road we found a fun pit stop. Poncho's at Pastimes it's called in the small town of Keensburg. We drove in looking for a gas station... and then we found Pastimes and the friendly woman who owns Pastimes behind the counter. She was a little skittish at first, what with me pointing the camera at her, asking about family recipes and taking pictures of her ah-may-zing!!! strawberry shortcake cake. A bunch of … [Read more...]
Peach Raspberry Pie Recipe
By on July 5, 2011 with
"The nectarine and curious peach, into my hands themselves do reach; Stumbling on melons as I pass, ensnared with flowers, I fall on grass." ~Andrew Marvell Nothing says summertime like Peach Raspberry Pie, made from scratch and enjoyed with homemade whipped cream. Melt in your mouth goodness. When I was a teenager, my mom spent time teaching me how to make pie crust. She said, "There's an art to it. You have to handle it gently and work quickly." She shared with me her recipe, which I used for years, until I … [Read more...]
