*Sponsored by Wayfair* Today we are having fun participating along with other homemakers in the Wayfair Fall Thanksgiving Centerpiece Challenge. The challenge included Wayfair sending several bloggers 2 beautiful wooden trays and then we were asked to style one or both for a fall tablescape. I love the trays that Wayfair sent, they are the perfect farmhouse touch to add to our kitchen table and will work for so many seasons. And here's how I styled one of them for our Thanksgiving ...

How Lucky I am…. (An Art of Homemaking Post)
Saturday afternoon I stood on the cemetery lawn while my family all headed back to their cars. The viewing was over. The funeral was over. The processional was over. The graveside service was over. But there it was...the carved casket...the object that now held the tabernacle that was home to my grandfathers spirit for almost 90 years...and it was all alone. ... View the Post
60 Minute Homemaking Tasks
This post is PART IIII of a series of posts...mostly for me....but hopefully you can benefit from some of them too. Today we are focusing on 60 Minute Homemaking Tasks. My plan is to hang up lists of 5, 15, 30 and 60 minute homemaking tasks that I know I can do in that amount of time. So, when I have a few extra minutes throughout the day I can choose one or two and accomplish more during the day. A couple of weeks ago I shared PART I which was the 5 minute tasks that you can find HERE ... View the Post
Because Time Passes (Why I Quilt)

Her name was Elizabeth and even though she is my namesake I have spent most of my life content ... View the Post
Why Do You Sew? Elizabeth’s Story…
Whenever liZ and I go anywhere to teach a class we always begin with a little introduction of who we are and why we sew. And while those stories are really extreme opposites, I still love the fact that sewing and creating is an underlying theme. And since most of us will never meet in person (but I hope we do!) we thought we would share our sewing stories with you...and the reasons why we feel so passionate about sewing. ... View the Post
How to Make Freezer Meals (An Art of Homemaking Post)
How to Make Freezer Meals...this is a post I've been meaning to write forever! I'm a big fan of the freezer meals and make them often. Back in the day when my mom was working we would meet at her house once a month and between my sister, my mom, and I we would make enough freezer meals to feed an army. (Or at least 3 families, several times a week, for a month.) And I've been lucky enough to have the chance to teach a few mini classes on making freezer meals..but for some reason I've ...
