Well hello friends, it’s certainly been a while hasn’t it? Lots going on and while I can’t put it all in one post, here’s the lowdown of what we’ve been up to lately: we moved into our place on July 2, then four weeks later left for Croatia and Sicily for pretty much all of August, so naturally that kept the ‘nesting’ instinct at bay
Charleston, Highpoint and Snow!
Welcome to January my friends. The month when both the world and yours truly becomes a year older. But I’d rather not think about that now in favor of talking about more pleasant things, like, ahem, the freeeeeeezing cold weather we’ve been having here in coastal North Carolina, the sometimes unreliable heating system lately in our rv, and our lack of warm and fuzzy
My Thoughts on Wilmington
Moving, even for the most intrepid among us, can be stressful at best. Throw into the mix a move to a place where you have no family or friends, and it can be downright terrifying. I won’t even discuss the added complications of adjusting to a different culture, and I’m not talking about a move from the US to another continent, but simply staying within
Saratoga-A Pretty Victorian Town
Hey it’s me, peeking out from under bubble wrap, newspapers and boxes. But before I get into where we are with the moving process, I wanted to share with you what I think is one of the prettiest towns in NY. I’m sure you’ve heard of Saratoga Springs, famous for its horse racing and spring water that will have you looking like you just stepped
A Fun & Easy Drop Cloth Pom Pom Pillow
I took a break from sewing bags the other day and finished up this pillow I’ve been meaning to get to for a few weeks. As you may know, I’ve become a huge fan of YouTube, and one of my favorite people to watch is Debbie Shore. Her tutorials are easy to understand and her style is relaxed yet professional. I’ve used her instructions for
A Day In The Country
I truly believe the Berkshires is one of this country’s most beautiful areas. With abundant waterfalls, mountains, lakes and gorgeous vistas everywhere you turn, it might be easy to sometimes take it for granted. But I don’t. Not for a minute. We’ve owned our cabin for twelve years, three of those years we’ve been here full time, but we’ve only just begun to scratch the
My New Obsession
A few weeks ago the sun took a vacation for about two weeks and we had nothing but rain. To keep from going stir crazy, I raided my fabric stash and got busy. A couple of years ago I made some cute little pouches that I’ve since used for small makeup items, but I wanted to raise the bar and learn some new techniques, so
Log Cabin Tour
It’s been a while since I’ve shown you our cabin in detail. About five years actually. I thought about it often, but never took the time to take the photos. Now that the cabin is for sale, this will surely be the last tour, and what better time since I can take advantage of the professional photos that were recently taken? Let me share with
Shenandoah Valley
There’s a thunderstorm happening now. The sky went from bright and almost cloudless to dark and ominous in less than a couple of hours. I can’t remember a Spring as rainy as this, and so very different from last year’s near-drought conditions. I love the rain, especially when I can sit on our porch and listen to the rhythm of it on our roof. The ratty-tat-tat. Somehow
The Vote Is In! And We Are Moving To…
After months of looking, we finally found our forever home, and it’s Wilmington, NC! Here’s the sound bite version of our week long trip: On our first day we visited St. James Plantation in Southport. As its name implies, it’s on the coast and is simply charming! The night before we left I watched ‘Safe Haven’ with Josh Duchamel (remember him from All My Children?) and Julianna
