If you have been reading my other blog “Just a Slice of Life in Perfect” you might have already seen this post. I started a series of three funky and fun pillow posts many months ago and never finished the final post. I decided to create a whole new blog (this one!) and it took a lot longer than I … ….oh there’s more
Have I mentioned that my husband is a “rock star”. Well, maybe not in the music world, but definitely in his industry. Every convention, meeting, or conference I ever attended with him, it was all “You’re Terry Green?” Seriously, I’ve been to a whole lot of very cool places due to his rock star status. But that’s over. He’s retired. Incognito. … ….oh there’s more
I live in Florida. Oh, you know that. Officially, Florida is the “sunshine” state. Unofficially It’s the heat and humidity state. Which leads to a mold and mildew state. And no matter how hard you try to keep that nasty stuff out, it’s there. Lurking. Waiting. Three years ago I bought some old furniture at a thrift store that I painted white. … ….oh there’s more
One of my very favorites in my garden Do you know how easy hydrangeas are to root? Easy-peasy! Just cut some stems off of a mature hydrangea bush. Dip the cutting into a rooting hormone. Sometimes it’s called rooting powder. I’ve used two different brands but they both have the same active ingredient, Indole-3-butyric acid. Walmart, Home Depot, Lowes–they all carry … ….oh there’s more
Hello Kitty! I thought Piper and I probably most likely really really needed matching PJ boxers. And I took a chance and made them out of Hello Kitty flannel. (Doesn’t every little girl love Hello Kitty?) I don’t sew clothes very often. No reason. Just don’t like to. I did make 2 Elsas and 1 Anna last year for Halloween … ….oh there’s more
I was thinking about making quilts for all the grandkids. But then I started thinking about how many that would be. Zowie. So many grandchildren, so many quilts. I already made one for Piper last year. And I finally finished one for Riley, the oldest. As a 14-year-old, a quilt from Grandma is probably the last thing he wants. Too late, it’s made … ….oh there’s more
I’ve been sewing forever. I’m saying self-taught. Although when I was in third grade I belonged to a 4-H sewing club. I made a poncho. It had bucking horses on it. And then there was the 12-week required Home Ec course in 7th and 8th grade. I was a total failure. I had to model my jumper by holding up … ….oh there’s more
Let’s talk about Wine! Or maybe let’s talk about wine as gifts. Presented in a wine bottle bag. Not one of those paper ones you buy at Walmart. A Pretty One. Whipped up by you from fabric you just happened to have stashed away in a trunk. Pretty. Pretty. Pretty. We went to a Blueberry Festival a few weeks ago and … ….oh there’s more
Trumpet Fanfare and drumroll The totally random winner of the Zebra Pillowcases is Alicia Merlino! I’ve already emailed Alicia and will send out the pillowcases as soon as I get her address. And that has to be by Friday–that’s the rules! I want to thank everyone for commenting on the giveaway. This is a totally new blog which morphed out of my … ….oh there’s more
Yesterday I posted a Giveaway for a pair of pillowcases with contrasting cuffs and a flap. I forgot to mention that it also has “French Seams” which gives a nice finished appearance on the inside of the case. The giveaway is open until Sunday evening but you have to comment on the original post to be eligible. Don’t comment on … ….oh there’s more
