Tea For Two: Tiny Tins

Sandra March 7, 2017 kids / little things / this and thatOne Comment

  ” There is nothing insignificant. Nothing.” -Coleridge- Little, tiny things are so sweet. These little things I call “keepsakes”. That means that a person will keep them for the sake of how special they are or for the fact that someone special gave them as a gift.  I keep …

  journal entry: I dreamed about giraffes for weeks. They multiplied before my eyes. Every time I finished one, another appeared. That is how it seemed to me. Grandpa often asked if I was still working on the giraffes. Yes. Yes, I am. It was the most wonderful, whimsical fabric …

Advent Calendar with a Sentimental Touch

Sandra November 7, 2011 holidaysOne Comment

journal entry:   It seems that each year I think about making an advent calendar. Think about it but don’t do it. I have long collected images of advent calendars others have made in an effort to gather ideas. Someday. That’s what I have said to myself.  Today is “someday”. …

“Taking joy in living is a woman’s best cosmetic.” -Rosalind Russell-     I am always looking for somewhere to put something.  Patterns, pictures, tutorials, ideas.  One thing always leads to another and so I made a Keepsake File Box to sit on my desk.  I used a combination of …

Tiny Valentines’ Day Quilt

Tiny Valentines’ Day Quilt

Sandra February 3, 2011 holidays / home / other stuff / sewingLeave a comment

You would think that from the way I prowl the quilting stores that I was a quilter.  I am not.  Not a real quilter.  I am a “tie-the-quilt” quilter but not without a desire to make something worth keeping.  That is why I made this little Valentines’ Day quilt.  This …

All Through the House

Sandra December 7, 2010 holidays / homeLeave a comment

“Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house . . . “ journal entry: I wonder why we love what we do?  Why we are pulled toward certain things . . . colors . . . styles.  I love Christmas “all through the house”.  I love digging out …

“We trust in plumed procession For such the angels go – Rank after Rank, with even feet- And uniforms of Snow. -Emily Dickinson- journal entry: These angels are a secret.  No ordinary angels . . . they are specially-trained Guardian Angels.  Their job is to watch over.  Usually, children.  I …
