I love blasting the music to our little cd player in the front room. We get it going and all three of us are dancing to the tunes. It can be a really great workout for me if I am into it enough. We have put on classical music and danced our hearts out to [...]

When I planted my garden, I didn’t think it was a big deal to plant 3 zucchini plants. I love zucchini and I thought the more the better. Well, they grew big right away and I ended up pulling one of them to make room. The zucchini started to come slowly and I thought having [...]

I have been trying to clean out my fabric drawers, tidying up a bit. My closet is overflowing with fabric and other crafty items. I came across tons of cut squares left over from making I Spy Quilts. So I decided that I am going to sell the extra fabric as kits at The Stitching Barn Shop.
