• Keeping It Simple - Buttons and Bows

  Being the "Meesy" to two beautiful granddaughters I am always on the lookout for cute things that I can make for them or with them.

• Keeping It Simple – Mouse Pad Revival

  This was not the original project that I planned for this week but was inspired out of necessity. I am forever trying to do more than one thing at a time and this morning was no exception.

• Keeping It Simple - Strap Covers and Handle Wraps

  Well, it's August and the "Dog Days of Summer" have finally arrived here. That means it is hot, hot, hot and when the temps get up around 100 degrees it is time to let the garden go and sew. I am done putting up corn, beans, berries and...

• Keeping It Simple with a Quick Casserole Carrier

  If you are like me, you subscribe to more than one embroidery and quilting magazine and scour them all front to back when you finally get the chance. Sometimes I'm inspired by the projects in the magazines but many times I'm overwhelmed. And any...

• Little Photo Holders for Mother's Day

  “Meesy, why don’t Grandma and Gigi have pictures of us at their houses like you do?” my eldest granddaughter asked. Since I provide them quite often I wasn’t sure how to answer so I told her that they didn’t have anything...

• It's Over (Sigh) for Another Year II - Coffee Cup Wraps

  The sun shone on us all in Orlando and we had a great time at the second annual Annthegran Community Circle gathering. We met up with old friends and made some new ones too.

• Holiday Inspiration in a World of Germs

  Yes, I know the holiday season is a time for joy and counting your blessings but it is so much more enjoyable when everyone stays well. In our family 2008 has been dubbed “the year of the tissue”.

• An Addiction to Embroidered Greeting Cards

  Can you believe that July is almost over? We have the strangest weather here this year. One day it’s about 100 degrees and the next it barely gets into the 70s. The month has breezed by filled with gardening (my tomato plants are all dying and I...

• Of course I like green but what’s this KIWI craze really all about?

  Now, what is all this about green paper? This was my initial thought when I first heard the term KIWI paper . Oh, its paper and you can supposedly embroider on it. We've all done that before but it is so hard to find really fun designs that don’t...
