Fabric Envelopes for Valentine’s Day Treats
Every year I try to come up with a unique way to share treats for Valentine’s Day. This year, I found this easy and adorable pattern at https://www.peekaboopages.com/valentine-fabric-envelopes-tutorial/ I will fill them with a valentine and some treats and send them off to show love and friendship. It is as simple as cutting rectangles, cutting

Egg Bites – Easy and Just Like Starbucks
I am always looking for an easy breakfast treat. If I am rushing off somewhere in the morning or if I am having friends in for coffee, I love serving something nutritious, tasty and fun. These egg “muffins” are just the thing – serve them with muffins or scones, or breakfast cookies…bacon or sausage…and a

When You Buy a New Spice Rack….
I bought a new spice rack and it came with a list of spices…more spices than I even knew existed. If you know me, you know that I use a lot of spices but, this list was exhaustive. So, let’s have a little fun. Review this list of spices and identify whether you have heard

Back to The Wanderer’s Wife
After a short break for a Christmas project, we are working VERY hard to complete this quilt. The pattern is not easy to follow and it has become a “make it work” job. I have worked hard to use up as many scraps as I can for this project – and I have used up

A Year of Dishcloths – Kindness Wins…
I am still knitting socks, and quilting and baking and exercising and, recently, playing cribbage with a group of friends. I also read – on Kindle, real books and audible – I would say I have at least 3 books on the go at once. So, when I saw this book by Annie’s Crochet, I

Flourless Apple Oatmeal Muffins
We leave in a celiac household – we have to be innovative and careful to make sure that Charles (my husband) does not end up sick. I am always on the lookout for something that is both delicious and gluten free. This recipe has the bonus of being sugar free as well – and it
