A Little of This A Little of That. August NuBee's Block Swap. The August NuBee swap is drawing to an end and I'm already looking forward to the September NuBee swap.

A Little of This A Little of That. Leap Day:New York Beauty And Farewell to February. Leap Day is giving me chance to check in and say hello! Just yesterday, while out buying my third mop this winter, I couldn't resist stopping at the cardboard stand holding the colorful seed packets.I picked up a packet of Zinnia seeds and fondly recalled a wide, colorful row of Zinnia blooms at one end of my dad's very large garden. Influenced my decision a tiny bit to have a garden full of riotous color. I have jo...

A Little of This A Little of That. Lamberton Conservatory 2011 Holiday Display Photos. One of my favorite things to do during the winter months is visit the Lamberton Conservatory in Rochester, NY. Lamberton's Holiday Display is still looking gorgeous and runs through January 8th 2012. I love the warmth and beauty that fills the conservatory.

Glory Bee Garden: October 2011
http://www.glorybeegarden.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
A Little of This A Little of That. Photo Walk October 2011. Wow, what a great morning it was for a walk. This October, while rainy, has been very mild with plenty of sunny time to appreciate in between the showers. A walk around the neighborhood provided me some nice photo opportunities today. I'm enjoying capturing little details now, that for so long, were not possible for me to see. And, I'm finding beauty in imperfection. I still have Lavender and roses in bloom and a lot of grass seed heads too.

Samelia's Mum: A Mug Rug Tutorial
http://www.sameliasmum.com/2011/01/mug-rug-tutorial.html
A Mug Rug Tutorial. Here's a tutorial on one way that I make my mug rugs. If you make one using this tutorial, send me some pictures, I'd love to see them :-). First I like to sketch the design onto a piece of paper. I generally try to stick to a 6" x 10" border. Trace your designs onto some double sided fusible paper (such as vliesofix or applifix). Remember to seperate all segments of the design (ie the bird body and the wing are seperate) . Fuse onto the back of your fabric with a hot, dry iron. My 95...
