Thanks for hanging in here with me. I have been away for a few weeks. Hubby needed a vacation since his mom’s passing, and we needed to check on her North Carolina mountain cabin. (More about that later!) I am back, but still pretty tied up with estate stuff, and being a mom. My fifteen-year-old […]
Surprise Woodland Breakfast
Before it got so blasted hot here, I planned a surprise for my teenager daughter, breakfast for the two of us back in the woods at Cedar Hill. It was quite a hike from the house, so I kept the table simple, since I could only carry so much. Months earlier, I had found this wondeful table […]

The daybed project can be seen here, the backporch project can be seen here, and the tutorial on the large feedsack pillows can be seen here. […]
