A Solution

This may not be the cord solution for everyone - but it works for me and my frilly office. It pretty much hides the cords - maybe not entirely - but good enough!

Back to the Old

I retitled my retitled blog. Confused? I thought this is a better option since I am opening it up to anyone to read.

Dishes

Did I ever mention how much I LOVE dishes? I really don't have many dishes to actually eat on - just 1 set of white ironstone, but I have tons hanging on walls, propped up on bookcases, shelves, tables, countertops --you name it.

My stoneware only came with large soup plates and we tend to really fill 'em up when we eat ice cream; and since we are so health conscience (sadly, a lie), I got it in my head that I really needed some red bowls...with white polka dots. I actually found them quite easily on line at La Sur Table. Since they have a store in Salt Lake, I drug the hubby down tonight to buy 6 of these cuties. Worth the trip.

You ARE my sunshine!

The pretty lady is a pillowcase Marta gave me to embroider. It's for 'her' bed (but only when Rick isn't with her - I wouldn't want to gag him with ruffles!)

I saw this cute pattern at Gardeners Village in West Jordan and just had to make it mine. I pretty much copied her color palette - I'm either a pastel girl or I'm a 40's bright and cheery girl - I guess I'm a split personality.

Merry Christmas 2008!

I just got a new camera for Christmas. I hope I can figure this thing out in time for the next holiday!.... This is the latest quilt. It took forever because it was taken as a class and we only did one embroidery block and maybe 2-3 star blocks per month. I started in January 2008 and finished it in November 2008!

Boy did we get a White Christmas this year! This is looking at our back yard from the deck. When the snow hits the swing seats - we know we have a lot of snow!
