I recently visited a Mecca of sorts for stitching enthusiasts. This is a story that is a few years in the making. It is a tale of faithfulness, patience, and a sweet Godwink. It all fell into place at the Vintage Sewing Center and Museum. Make yourself a cup of tea for this anecdotal thread is a worthy read. Vintage Sewing Center and Museum Disclaimer: Let me start out by apologizing that all the photos in this post were taken on my phone. I was not prepared to encounter the goodness ... View the Post
A Prairie Devotional
Today I am boarding a plane bound for Michigan. There I will help my lovely friend Jill load a truck which will take us to NYC. Some of you may be thinking "Didn't you JUST get back from California two days ago?" Yes, yes I did. The last 24 hours have included a frantic grocery store run for Mr. Decor and Sweet Guy, quickly doing the laundry and repacking so I can head off for work. Then upon my return, I will have just a few days to load up another truck and head to Tennessee. One thing that ... View the Post
Saturday Smiles Our Eagle Scout

For the past year, I have been researching the Christmas customs and traditions of the Dickens Christmas Era.

Many consider this the first year of the Dickens Era which lasted until his death in 1870. His novella "A ... View the Post
Giving That Feels Good
Today is Black Friday. This is followed by Small Business Saturday and then Cyber Monday. We can shop 'til we drop but that doesn't guarantee us of giving that feels good. Giving Tuesday Comes Early I myself like Giving Tuesday. This is when you give to your favorite non-profit organization.

The Ultimate DIY Part II
Perhaps a more apt title than The Ultimate DIY Part II should be “It Took Me 31 Years To Finally Graduate and I Want To Inspire You So That You Don’t Give Up On Your Own Dream”. But that is a bit wordy. (smile) This past Tuesday I took a two-hour college final worth 200 points. Despite my previous A + work in the upper-level class, the instructor had made passing the final criteria for passing the class. So if I didn’t pass the final I would not pass the class. Which meant I would not ... View the Post
