Update on refashion wardrobe... and some muffins!

A little dress embroidered with my quilting/walking foot. I had a lot of fun trying that out for the first time.
The last of my linen table cloth.
I think it will be a hit...


A little baking going on..... !
These pumpkin muffins are really dense, I used whole wheat flour and flax seed... they are really good!

Speedy Recovery, love and warm wishes

From ruptured appendix to excrutiating pain
confusion, pain
hoplessness, fatique
lost days, confusion, pain
A million walks to the bathroom, mean nurses, crappy pain medicine, tights up to one's nether -regions, boots that cut off one's circulation, every 2 minutes...
 
 
 
 

dry mouth, sleepless nights, did I meantion pain? Diary of a ruptured appendix patient named Mom....
I doubt I can correctly describe her days of agony after her appendix ruptured, but I hope you get the drift. It has been a long hard road for her and her family. What a surprise it was. No one was expecting that sort of thing.
Sending warm wishes and love, and praying for a very speedy recovery..
love, your daughter.

A fall festival at school brought out our fairy. She had a lot of fun despite the rain and cold that has descended upon our town. It is yucky out there. Not a problem for the fairy. She danced and twirled all around, granted wishes and ended up with a bucket of candy. What fun!

In trying to be a good steward for the enviornment...

I recycle and I support my local thrift stores. I love a bargain and I like to find creative ways to reuse and re-purpose things for my family and myself. Here are my latest finds...

Check back later to see what I make with the cool sheet!

We had a really warm and sunny fall day today after a great soaking rain last night.
No hummingbirds in several days.. I think they all have finally left for good. I will be waiting to see them in March. Off to Mexico, lucky little birds. I will surely miss them. Godspeed little friends..

I am joining in this wonderful challenge. Check it out! I love this idea and I have kind of dabbled in this sort of thing for about a year. I am now challenging myself on a deeper level. The idea of reusing, recycling, and re-purposing is really important to me. I do not like to waste and I do not like to spend a fortune on things that I don’t have to. I think it takes courage and creativity to be open minded about new beginnings. Want to try?
