Harvest Time Week Eight: The Seasons of Arnold’s Appletree
We skipped ahead a week… but I know everyone else is jumping around a somewhat too. We were a bit behind on some of our apple activities so I wanted to keep that theme going. Also, our leaves are also just finally coming into full color. So next week will be a better week to gather …
Unhurrying
History has a way of repeating itself. Having just returned from our trip to Wisconsin, (Miss you so much Little Lady!) and with our 20th Annual Pumpkin Carving Party fast approaching, I felt like I woke up this morning running. As I was trying to finish up a project I wanted to share on Wee Folk Art tomorrow, …
Introducing The Little Lady
I can finally introduce the world to The Little Lady. She was born Monday, October 4. They got home from the hospital on Wednesday, and on Friday Tim and I drove to Wisconsin. I walked in the door and saw “my baby” holding “his baby”. He was wearing a gloating smile that was reminiscent of when he was just a little boy …

Harvest Time Week Six: Johnny Appleseed
This time of year, of course brings us to the cider mill… or I should say mills. I believe Johnny Appleseed would be pleased to find the acres of orchards in our community. We’ve already visited 3 different cider mills in our area, drank gallons of cider, eaten dozens of warm donuts, and picked bags …
Little Red Riding Hood Cape
Fairy’s request this year for Halloween was to be Little Red Riding Hood. Mainly she wanted this cape! I was a bit worried when I cast on a couple weeks ago whether or not it would be done on time. We have our first Halloween festivities next weekend. Although I missed my personal goal of being …
How to Reduce and Enlarge Patterns
Learn how to reduce and enlarge patterns using basic math. There are several techniques that can be used to customize any pattern to fit your desired application. My mother has put together a beautiful collection of Applique Blocks. Although the reason they are popular with quilters is obvious, I am challenging our readers to think …
Ghosties Applique Blocks
It’s Halloween time, and what’s more fun than some friendly Ghosties? But don’t be fooled by these seemingly simple patterns. Through these 2 applique blocks, we are going to be sharing some techniques this week to help you think “outside the box” or as Michelle likes to say “outside the blocks”. First off, today we …
Natural Soy Crayons and Juggling Balls
A few weeks ago Sonya, from A Toy Garden, sent along a few goodies for us to review. As it turns out, two of the items made there way into Pixie’s Rainbow Birthday Bowl, and now that she’s had time to play with them, we can give a kid’s perspective review. Juggling Balls – Assorted Rainbow Patterns Let me start …
