Christmas Time Again
It’s that time of year. The Christmas parties have already started. My first one this year was the Patoka Township Farm Bureau party and it was actually on the 1st of December. Of course, it’s always on the first Thursday of December, so it’s not always so early in the month. We had a new…

Christmas Decorating
It’s that time of year again, the ground has started turning white, the roads are covered in slush and people are ringing bells at all the local stores. That means it’s time to decorate for Christmas — well, almost. Matt & I are getting a real tree again this year, and we are going to…

Conference anyone?
Each year I attend a couple of conferences with my husband. We go up to Indianapolis in December for the Indiana Farm Bureau Conference and then again in January for the Indiana Farm Bureau Young Farmers Conference. I do enjoy going to these. It’s a nice change of pace, and I enjoy spending a little…

Dear Jane
Dear Jane, I fell in love with your quilt the first time I saw it… of course, I would never make one. I haven’t the patience to make 225 of those 4.5 inch squares. But I do love your quilt. Of course, I’ve always loved “scrappy” quilts made with remnants of past projects. That’s probably…

Quilt Progress

The streets in downtown Washington, such as Main Street, have been one-way for almost half a century. However, when I went to Washington today my Garmin attempted to…

(Lack of) Fashion Friday
This week, by special request, we are having a “Lack of Fashion Friday.” For this special post, I’ll be pulling out some old photos of me in some not so fashionable outfits. My lack of fashion started at an early age, thanks in part to my mom. Not that this dress wasn’t fashionable when she…

Creativity is Messy
Creativity is messy, and I am very creative… but that’s not an excuse for not being able to use any of the space in my house, for the piles of stuff collecting on all of the horizontal surfaces. Solution? Clean and organize. Matt has been very helpful with this process so far. We’ve still got…
