Mother’s Day Tablescape
I’m very happy to make my Mother’s Day tablescape in honor of my mother. She has been gone now 25 years, but I can still hear her voice and see her smile. My mother was extraordinary. Her life was devoted to her family. She always tried to make things special for each of her children [...]

Hobbies
Well, I promised pictures no matter what they looked like! On Monday night I went to my first cake decorating class. I took this same course about a year ago and didn’t do too well. So I’m trying again. Tonight there was a lot of instruction on making the proper icing for the cake, for [...]

More Easter Stuff
Hubby and I volunteer at church every Thursday. We are actually called “Service Angels.” Generally we fold the handout for church the following Sunday. We usually have about 10-15 people show up so it doesn’t take long. We have to tri-fold 1500 handouts. We also do anything else that might be needed in bulk. We [...]

I loved it and decided to decorate around it. I love the colors. I finally found yellow, pink and purple candles. [...]

St. Patrick’s Day Table
Posting my second tablescape! I’m so new at this – I know my pictures could stand a little work and my table, well it could use some work too, but I’m having fun with what I have and that’s all that matters, right? I set a table for four. Yes, I know the picture could [...]

Valentine’s Day Table
I love reading all sorts of blogs. I read blogs on dogs, blogs on farms, blogs on beautiful homes, blogs on food and recipes, blogs on crafts and hobbies, and I have recently become interested in reading blogs on tablescapes. During the holidays, they are incredible. So being the type of person I am [...]

The Girls Christmas Photos
I wanted to take the girls to get their Christmas pictures taken this year, but it’s not going to happen before we leave for the Christmas holidays. So we will have to make due with last year’s photos. They are pretty adorable if I do say so myself. Sugar and Meeka wish you the very [...]

Random Decorations
No tree this year because we will be out of town for Christmas. But I still had to put out a little Christmas cheer. Even my lovely village that I haven’t put up since 1999. My table usually looks so beautiful when I have all my Spode Christmas dishes out. I haven’t decided whether to [...]
