Yarn Along

In this week's Yarn Along, I have been working on a new granny square blanket.  I was going to do tiny squares, about 3 rounds each, but quickly decided against it.  I am the kind of crocheter that loves the craft, but if I have to make too many of a specific pattern, I quickly get bored. I op…

Cooking Thursday - Massa de Pimentao

It's one of those things that is often used in Portuguese cooking, or at least for me. I find that it's the best marinade for not only pork but beef, chicken and even fish. You can find it at the store but I've always made it at home, it's simple and it's really good too a…

Hand painted pots

Hand painted clay pots!  I am not a painter or artist, as is clearly seen from my very wonky flowers, but I love trying new things, and I must say that this project was so much fun to do.  I sat by my big window, overlooking the trees, and just randomly used the paintbrushes to try and create some …

Cozy Spring Activities

I have been blessed with a creative mind, and usually any hobby I tackle, I end up enjoying and doing well in.  Of course, there are some that I don't much care for, or turned out not to be what I thought it would.  But overall, you can describe me as a creative person. I love creating, thinking…

The morning sun seeps in through the window.  The curtain shifts slightly with the breeze, and the sound of birds chirping waft in, saying good morning, welcome the new day ahead. I used to rush out bed every morning when my kids were little, but now that they are grown and have their own lives, I h…
