Don't you just wish you could do it all?
That's me in a nutshell.
I love cooking, gardening and preserving.
Sewing, quilting, knitting, general crafts, reading...
Why isn't there more time in the day!?
Cooking from scratch is always my preference, especially when I can use so much from our garden. I'm always trying new recipes of all cuisines so my family isn't allowed to be picky!
I grew up a farm girl (youngest of 7), but now I'm just a hobby-farmer of a large garden and 10 chickens on our 3 little acres on the very edge of the city.

I started teaching myself to sew clothes when I was 11 but then discovered quilting. A quilter for about 15 years now, I dream of a long-arm quilting machine as I struggle along with ol' faithful, Ms. Bernina. She does sew very well so we make do.
I have a Cricut that begs for my attention and some good ideas. I've dabbled in scrapbooking and enjoy it, but my other hobbies always seem to take precedence. It's the beautiful papers that get me--the patterns, the colors!
That, I'm sure, is linked to my love of fabrics.

I'm nuts for knitting and can't wait to learn more. it's only in the last couple years that have learned hats, a basic cable and recently, socks so now I can just knit socks, socks and more socks!

I love fall the best but a winter snow will absolutely bring out the kid in me. And when it's too dark to watch it through every single window (because each has its own scene), my favorite spot would be in a big chair, with a good classic book, by the fire with either jazz or classical music playing lightly in the background. I love to go out and enjoy a good glass of wine and a finely-prepared meal, especially with my husband who's been my best friend since we were 16. Sundays are made firstly for God, then for family and then for football--which is the only thing on television you'll ever find me watching...unless someone has slipped in a movie. My marriage and my family strive to live by Jesus and His Church and I only wish all could see the wonderful simplicity, happiness and peace in doing just that. :o)
