Well… I am almost done with Lavendar Girl, but not quite. By the next update, she will be finished and put together in a pillow and sent off. I can’t wait to show you that! Here’s the before: And here’s the after. There are lots of little places on her to get finished, but probablyContinue reading “SAL-Girl in Lavendar Field 11”

End of Season Preserving
2025 was not a good year for me in the garden or outside for that matter. The year started off rough. I never got any plants started indoors, which is unusual for me. I didn’t buy any seeds, just used what I had from past years. I couldn’t get into the mood. My gardening mojoContinue reading “End of Season Preserving”

Cakes and other Goodies I’ve Done Since March
After all of the March cakes I did and the 200+ loaves of St. Joe’s bread AND moving my mom and son, I had to take a break from baking for a bit. I took 2 months off and started back again in May (other than the orders I already had booked) and of courseContinue reading “Cakes and other Goodies I’ve Done Since March”
Another Week Without Facebook
Man, it’s been a bit since I updated about life without Facebook. One of the biggest updates is about Mr. Gray, our gray tiger cat. Last update was he was still struggling from his tooth extraction and not eating, and it wasn’t getting any better. With my anxiety sky high, I said to my husband,Continue reading “Another Week Without Facebook”

Days 9-10 without Facebook
I was really tired after last weekend so the only things I did on Monday were work, tend to sick kitty, pick beans and go to my Trustee meeting at church, plus I got a little more stitching done on Lavendar Girl. A bonus was that my awesome husband had the entire kitchen cleaned upContinue reading “Days 9-10 without Facebook”
Days 4-8 without Facebook
Busy is an understatement if I needed to accurately describe the last four days without social media. Things I got accomplished on Wednesday without thinking about social media: I worked a normal day at the Town office. Dinner was leftovers for me because the Hubs was golfing after work. I got to work after dinner,Continue reading “Days 4-8 without Facebook”
Day 3 without Facebook
I haven’t scrolled mindlessly in 3 days! Things I got accomplished on Tuesday without thinking about social media: I slept in until 7:15 because I was up till after midnight, not because I was scrolling obviously but because my peri-menopausal brain wouldn’t let me fall asleep….sigh. I got my first post written about not beingContinue reading “Day 3 without Facebook”
