Nancy E. Mink; the Heavenly Seasoned Palette: 11/1/14 - 12/1/14

http://nancymink.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html

Thanksgiving is less than two weeks away! As many of you know, this is my very favorite holiday! It wouldn't be a traditional celebration in our house without both pumpkin and mincemeat pies. This recipe is full of yummy fruits that soak in spices and rum up to two weeks before the big day. Here's my easy recipe that smells heavenly and has a festive holiday flavor:. This makes enough filling for a 9" deep dish pie. Refrigerate for 2 weeks. You can make small individual pies (freeze some). Even our koi a...

The Last Day of Summer. It is bittersweet that today is the last day of summer. Autumn used to be my favorite time of year, but summer has taken over the #1 spot, with autumn a close second. Sunflowers stand guard over the vegetable garden. I brake for nurseries". I felt as if I was floating in a puddle of the brightest. Blue watercolor paint during the boat trip on Crater Lake. Crater Lake was so cold, but Glen and I had to dangle our feet in. One of the deepest and most pristine lakes in the world.

Too Nice of a Day. It is one of those delicious days. The second-to-the-last day of spring (sob) with deep blue skies and a slight breeze that beckons me to step outside my studio for some adventure. I've got a couple of art collections due for submittals by the end of the month. I could, should, would play after the submittals are done. However, you can never have too much inspiration which leads to creative painting which leads to contracts, so.I think I'll go get inspired! I'm covering up the paints, ...

http://nancymink.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html

I almost feel guilty that we are having such beautiful weather when the east and midwest is covered in snow and the west in drought. Here in the Pacific Northwest we are having beautiful sunshine mixed with days of temperate rain and the flowers are starting to blossom. Everything seems to be a month ahead of itself. While basking in the sunshine, we saw a couple of honey bees on our English Heather yesterday! English Heather blooms all winter and spring. Our first daffodils bloom in February. It's anoth...

Free Garden Embroidery Pattern. It is finally time to plant the vegetable garden. The cooler crops like broccoli, carrots and cauliflower were planted a few weeks ago. Now, we can plant the tomatoes and peppers! We're planting 12 heirloom beefsteak varieties and 8 roma-type sauce tomatoes. This is how I achieved the look on this pillow:. Transfer pattern onto washed and ironed white linen by using a light box (or bright window) and sharp permanent marker. Otherwise you get choppy looking lines). Quilt if...

So we agreed that we'd celebrate everything.holidays, birthdays and milestones, twice this year. Today just so happens to be mid-way between Thanksgivings! Little sweet potato slips will be beautiful vines soon and, hopefully,. Sweet potatoes down under come fall! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Click picture to p...

Nancy E. Mink; the Heavenly Seasoned Palette: Lavender in Bloom

http://nancymink.blogspot.com/2015/06/lavender-in-bloom.html

The lavender is just starting to blossom. I picked 5 large bunches off of just one plant to hang in the sunroom. This plant is four years old. I cut handfuls, then place a rubber band around the stems, trim the stems all to an even, tidy length, and then hang them on hooks, cabinet knobs, etc. The house smells so nice! I made this wreath for the garden shed out of last year's lavender bunches and some of our herbs. Our herb garden (garden house is in the background). I love lavender Nancy!
