Birthday Wishes The morning dawns cold as the sun rises high While I watch from my place in my bed A contemplative air fills these earliest hours And thoughts without words fill my head As I contemplate silently, tears in my eyes Memories flood through my mind Of birthdays before when I’d rise as today With an air of a …
I know I was going to be posting more frequently, but life things kind of got in the way, and I kind of forgot about my blog. First I visited with my family, and then I finally got my home bakery up and running. I’ve been planning it for almost a year. I was finally able to get started, and …

I recently had the opportunity to test some crochet patterns for other designers. I realized at that time that I haven’t tested any patterns since last December. I guess it was about time to do some again. Here are the four patterns that I tested during September and October. The first one was this cute ghost applique. It’s a perfect …
Recently we had to say goodbye to our beautiful cat, Cocoa. He was 10 years old, going on 11, and he was really quite special. The way he acted and the things he did were just so cute.
