I think I’ve mentioned before that one of the things I miss now that I am eating gluten free is bread. Especially during the winter when we make a lot of soups, stews and chili. It’s nice to have some kind of bread to serve with them. I came across a recipe on-line that claimed the addition of yeast gave…
Hi! Do you remember me? I’m Lexie the Hexie Turtle. And these are my two BFFs Lanie (on the left) and Rexie (on the right.) Ever since we were born in the spring of 2013 in Florida, we have been going on adventures with Sue and Dave. A couple of months ago, we had a really fun adventure. Let me…
On Workbasket pattern page 79, they have the tulips for the luncheon cloth divided into two separate pattern pieces. As neither pattern would fit on a standard printer page, Dave divided the patterns into sections. This is section 1c of those patterns. This pattern is available as a pdf here.
I’ve been craving sweets in the evening so I went in search of something that would give me that bit of sweetness but still be a healthy treat. I found a recipe for Oatmeal Bars but the measurements were in grams and while I don’t mind weighing things I do prefer to be able to just quickly measure using cups…
I am really missing the sand and surf and the palm trees this winter. Well… I miss them all the time when we’re living away from the ocean but most especially in the winter. There’s not much I can do about the sand and the surf but one of the local stores had some small palm trees on sale for…
March is going to be a very busy sewing and quilting month for me as I work away on my secret Tree Bird Blog Hop project. I can’t show you the actual bird fabric that I ended up choosing but I can give you a sneak peek at the other fabrics that I’m using in the project. Aren’t those luscious! …
As I mentioned last week, in the hopes of hurrying spring along I’m posting the Workbasket pattern for a Tulip Luncheon Cloth. Today I’m sharing Section 1b of that pattern. This pattern is available as a pdf here.
After I purchased my Singer 15-91 and started posting about the beautiful Art Deco cabinet we found that Dave then completely refinished for me, I started having people arrive at my blog after searching on how to remove a sewing machine from its cabinet. I hated to see them go away not having found what they were looking for so…
I got a lot of TV watching done while I was hand sewing the binding to the back of the Paper Pinwheel Lap Quilt and Bed Runner. Monday night we watched the entire first season of Broadchurch. We hadn’t intended to watch all eight episodes but the writers of the first season were masters of the cliff hanger ending! And…
I’m sure that almost everyone in the upper part of the Northern Hemisphere is more than ready for winter to be over and to make the transition into the warmer temperatures of spring. So in the hopes of helping that along, for the next five weeks, I’m going to be posting a pattern for Tulips that the Workbasket pattern page…
