I apologize I haven't been around the last couple of days. I am entertaining everyone around me with another episode of vertigo. I am being good, taking my meds and doing my exercises to try to get on top of it. So I am giving out flowers and trying t

I see my hand embroidered quilt got re-discovered after many years of being hidden in the archives. I do remember my efforts to post it. I have never been good at posting my projects and took several attempts before I finally succeeded in posting it. T

Whooppie! I am conquering the chestnuts. I changed to a bigger knife and thought it would be much easier to score them by placing the nut on its flat side. Duh! It is still very time consuming, but much quicker and easier to score them. I am loving

The war with chestnuts will continue today. I am not even a third through the bucket yet. To answer the questions, chestnuts are used mostly to cook with although I ate a few as I peeled them. They are slightly sweet, but my husband thought they are bl

A fiend gave us a 5 gallon bucket of chestnuts. I have spent part of the day trying to get them scored, simmered and peeled. My goodness, my hands are tired and sore from the scoring. They have tough shells, I must say. But I will persevere.

I just completed a 3 day class on learning to use my serger. It is put on by suegb. It was very tough to do with my vertigo but well worth it. If anyone is unsure of how to use the feet or puzzled by the threading, run to take this class. I learned so

My husband bought me a couple of visors to help me when we are out. The wide brims block out overhead fans which was a big help at the 3 day class I went to last weekend. Soon I will be able to bling them up. I was thinking about some sayings to go on

OK, I'm venting. My brain has decided it hates ceiling fans. One glimpse of a ceiling fan that is going round and round and I am spinning too. My husband has decided to order me some hats with wide brims to block out these fans. Now I will be the lit

Hello everyone. I am back. I don't like announcing to the world that my husband and I will be away from our home. Sorry if I worried anyone. We went to celebrate my husband's mother's birthday. While there, we took the opportunity to visit a few fr
