This year Thanksgiving has brought me home to the area in Texas where I was born and raised. Seeing siblings is the best and spending time laughing and carrying on like we did as youngsters is great. We have been checking out the old haunts. It has been great. Today we spent part of theContinue reading “Thanksgiving adventures”

I was looking thru a scrap book my Mother In Law had kept and found a magazine article about Christmas Gifts to make and give. This was from the 1945ish era. What a fun find.

It was a cute shop and they also posted photos. We thought since we were goingContinue reading “Dreaming or not”

I hate to throw things away if I can help it. So when Hubby’s jeans would wear out it was time for me to cut them up. I used the legs for bags, granddaughter’s pants when she was smaller, or cut in squares for quilting. For this apron I chose to use the front ofContinue reading “Monday Gift idea”
