Winter, spring, summer, and fall quilting and sewing projects are all right here.
Nothing gets me into the holiday spirit more than some fun Christmas crafts. I love home decor, so any excuse I have to combine my love of crafting with my Christmas decorating ideas is a win in my book! A great DIY Christmas decoration that you can whip up in a hurry is a tree […]
By now we’ve been seeing Christmas decor in just about every store since right around the time Halloween ended. I’ve been seeing some really cute holiday decorating ideas like throw pillows, dish towels, and Christmas bunting, but—maybe because they know we won’t have it displayed for very long—all of it has seemed to be very […]
Am I the only one that can already hear the faint sound of “Jingle Bells” in the distance? Fall gives way to winter all too quickly every year, and before you know it, you’ve barely survived Thanksgiving, and the candy canes are once again making their appearance. In the snowy Midwest where I live, the […]
Now that Thanksgiving is almost behind us (just two more days!), we can all turn our attention to my favorite time of year—Christmastime! With all the carols in the air and the snow starting to fall in many places, this is the perfect time of year to put together a holiday quilt that you and […]
When I think about Christmas, I think of a well-decorated tree, a fire crackling on the hearth, and, hanging right above the fireplace, a brightly-colored Christmas stocking hanging up and waiting for Santa. Now that I’m older, I might not necessarily figure Santa as much into the equation, but every year without fail there […]
It seems that no matter where you go this time of year, you’re bound to stumble upon what seems like an infinite amount of delicious pumpkin recipes to get you through the fall. However, pumpkins aren’t just great for eating; they’re also the decoration of choice all autumn long! Whether it be Halloween or Thanksgiving, […]
It’s Halloween week, can you believe it?! As usual, I’ve put off decorating until the last minute, and just like every year, I need to scramble to put a DIY Halloween costume together for a party I didn’t find out about until just now. The good news is, we have just enough time to whip […]
First it’s back to school, then the weather cools down, then it’s officially fall and suddenly—gasp!—it’s Halloween! Time goes by in a flash this time of year, and the holidays always manage to sneak up on me. One minute I’m digging my scarves out of the closet, and the next, there are orange-colored displays at […]
Fall is my favorite time of year, and I sure want people to know it! I think the outside of my house ends up decorated more for autumn than it does for Christmas. I’ve got a scarecrow, pumpkins, a bale of hay—you name it, it’s probably in my front yard right about now. But all […]
The weather outside may not yet be frightful, but anyone in the Midwest knows what’s just around the corner. Winters in the snowy center of the United States can get pretty brutal—between wind and sleet and snow, it feels like the elements are always against us. I absolutely hate going out in the cold if […]
