I just got to spend a fabulous week out at Kira’s house for the Thanksgiving Holiday – so once again I am reminded of how incredibly blessed we are and how many reasons we have to be thankful. When Kira and Kayla were growing up, each Thanksgiving we got...

Teaching & Attending Pinners Conference
Kayla and Sheila had attended Pinners Conference 2 years ago, but this was our first time all going together, and our first time teaching a class! We didn't even know they did sewing classes at Pinners but a friend told us about it and recommend us, and we got in at...
Valentine Critter Corner Banner
Today we are featuring a guest on our blog! We have mentioned Leona a few times. Sheila and Leona get together to sew and visit as often as possible, which ends up being at least once a month and more if we have a quilt show coming up. Some of you may have met her at...
Christmas Stockings
When I was little we had the hardest time making ourselves go to sleep on Christmas Eve because we were so excited for Santa to come. I think we probably woke up around 3 in the morning to go down and gaze in awe at the Christmas tree, and the presents, and the...
An Attitude of Gratitude
It’s no secret that I love to travel. I think I got the bug from my father. Most of my siblings seem to have been infected as well. My first international trip was to Europe when I was in High School. We went to visit my sister and her family while her husband was...
That time I spent a couple weeks making a Halloween sign I just had to have

Halloween Placemats
Pat and I moved a lot in the early years of our marriage. One of those moves took us to Colorado where our second daughter (Kayla) was born. However, the real highlight of our time in colorful Colorado was the purchase of our solid oak dining table. This wasn’t just...
Decorating for Fall
I know for a lot of people, summer is their favorite season. That is not the case for me. I would so much rather be cold than hot. You can always add more layers, but you can only lose so many layers before it becomes socially unacceptable. It doesn’t help that...
Curiously Cute Halloween Blankets
I know there are a lot of people out there that aren’t ready to let go of summer. I however, am not one of those people. I LOVE fall and I have been looking forward to it for at least a month. The 90+ degree-days have gotten old and I am beyond ready to break out my...
