Happy Leap Day Everyone! This little donkey was leaping and cavorting around so much that her feed bucket went flying! If she’s like me, she’s just happy to see the end of February because that means that March begins tomorrow. And once March is here, spring isn’t too far off!

Today’s Vintage Workbasket pattern is this sweet set of cutlery to go along with last week’s tea set. I’ve been searching for the tea pot to go along with them but if one was ever in the Workbasket magazine,up this point I haven’t had any luck finding it.

This week, I finally carved out the time to make February’s blocks for the In Our Garden BOM Blog Hop. Amy over at Sew Incredibly Crazy did a wonderful job designing Blocks 1 & 2. My month is June and let me tell you, Amy set the bar pretty high… not only for the detailed instructions and ease of construction…
Wouldn’t it have been fun if the Hexie Turtles and I could have had our tea party yesterday with a cute tea set like this week’s Vintage Workbasket pattern?

It’s been a fun and busy week here with Dave home for a short break. As an added bonus… I haven’t had to shovel snow once. And considering that we’ve had 13 1/2″ of snow in the past 36 hours, that’s a really good thing! While my guys have been trying to keep ahead of the snow, I’ve had time…
33 years ago today, Dave and I were married in a Friday evening ceremony in the chapel on Camp Wainwright (now known as Canadian Forces Base Wainwright.) Happy Anniversary Dave! I can remember thinking as I walked down the aisle after exchanging vows that I was the luckiest girl in the world. And now 33 years later… I know just…
Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here!

I wrote to her suggesting Super Mom – No Cape! I was more than a little flattered when she wrote back saying she was…
With less than a week until Valentine’s Day, you might not have time to embroider a large project but there’s still time to take some of the small designs in today’s vintage Workbasket pattern sheet and make something hand stitched for those special people in your life or perhaps to decorate your house. That’s what I did for this felt…
Do you decorate the house for Valentine’s Day? When our kids were living at home, I went all out to make Valentine’s Day fun for them… special treats, flowers, treasure hunts, notes stuck to bedroom doors to find when they woke up… all sorts of memory building things. I’ve never really done much by way of decorating for Valentine’s though.…
