The Secret Garden is a favorite for this time of year, along with Little House on the Prairie, The Wind in the Willows and of course the ever beautiful Beat…

{ Blog 365 #88 - The joy of a clothesline }

I was talking about domestic bliss yesterday, and one of the chores that I absolutely love doing, is hanging clothes out to dry.  The simple action of taking the wet laundry, fresh out of the washer, and hanging them up, one by one, watching them blow in the breeze, always brings a smile to my face. …

{ Blog 365 #85 - Spring cleaning the back yard }

I saw a meme the other day that said something along the lines of, when you're in your twenties you stay up all night, drink, have a hungover, and then take a shower, get dressed and head straight to work, like nothing happened. Then in your 40's, you buy the wrong pillow and are sent to hos…

{ Blog 365 #80 - Blooming Flower Pillow }

Back in 2011, I made a Blooming Flower pillow.  I followed the pattern through Lucy from Attic 24 and loved the way it turned out. Of course over the years, it's been sat on and hugged, and laid upon by both humans and pets, and so it's become a bit of raggedy, flat pillow.  But I so enjoyed…
