I don't share Ruth very often... I don't really know why...but I'm selfish with her. Maybe because getting her here was harder...and our recovery was a long time in the making...and because the two of us went through it together I feel extra protective of her... I don't know, but what ever the reason she only appears on the blog about as often as I do. However, I should share her more often...to me, that girl is a living doll...a chubby, fiery, feisty doll...and I am loving making things ... View the Post
Scrumptious Quilt
Do you ever feel like you are always a month behind? I so naively thought that as my kids grew up that life would slow down and I could get caught-up on projects. Um....apparently not. I feel like life is busier than ever right now. And with us being in the "middle ground" of a huge move (that we get to do all over in a couple of weeks) I am feeling a bit like a chicken with my head cut off. And I fear that I am only at the beginnings of teenage "busyness." (All you teenage moms are ... View the Post
The Art of Homemaking: To be content with what we are….
I have needed this quote lately but let me first start with a little back story. I have been a little bleh lately. Do you ever get that way? It started about last November and with hustle and bustle that the month of December always is......by early January, I could feel that it had grown from bleh into a full-blown funk. I talked to my husband about it one night early last month. "I can't figure out what's wrong---but I am in a funk." "I've noticed," he replied. "What can I do?" "I don't ... View the Post
The Art of Homemaking: It’s not about what it is…
...it's about what it can become. I don't know. Maybe Ruth's been making me watch the Lorax too many times but I've been thinking about this a lot lately: Where ever you are at this year, right now, this minute...in your finances, organizational skills, relationships, fitness levels, education, hobbies, interests, whatever...it's ok. It's ok. Because it's not where you will be tomorrow, next week, next month, or next year at this time. Maybe today is abysmal...maybe today you are awesome ... View the Post

Sew It All (A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Studio…I just can’t tell you about it)
I've always considered Elizabeth and I more of a Lucy and Ethel sort of pair but last week someone told us that we were just like Thelma and Louise...and after what happened during the 24 hours following that statement I'm wondering if that may be more accurate.(Image Source)Even as I'm sitting here writing this I'm giggling and I can't stop...it's been like this ever since I came home. But the problem is this: I can't tell you what is so funny. Ok, sure, technically I could but it's just not ... View the Post
