Free Issue of The Essential Herbal to Download

Last year at this time we did an issue that was devoted to the need to scale back, plant a garden, reduce, reuse, and recycle. The cover is a collage of posters from the Victory Garden campaigns of the 1940's. The issue is sold out, and now these topics are getting huge coverage. We were just a little too early.

So - we'd like you to download it and enjoy it. The link is:

Happy Spring!

A day of sewing

I don't have any decorating tid bits to share but thought you'd like to see Miss Mew's sewing adventures.

She was helping me sew the curtains for the bedroom (which I will share next time).

Mom....is the bobbin full?
















I don't think you have this threaded right Mom, let me help you.....it goes this way right?......
oops the thread came out.















Yep, the lights looks like it is working just fine.















Oh how I love this rotary cutter, especially this little pillow you have on it.















Come on now, lets play.















I am not sure that the ruler is right, are you sure that is an inch.





























What is under here, oh my...........Mom, did you see the dust bunnies under here?















This is what happens to a kitten after a very busy days work of sewing.

Bear Den Shower Curtain

Right off the "Man Cave" (Kirk shop), is the "Bear Den"................so I found this fabric to make
a shower curtain. It is perfect.





I used 6 yards
first cutting into
2 - 3 yd pieces, then
cutting one of the pieces
in half length wise to
make a 22" wide X
3 yd piece. I then sewed
one on each side of the full
piece. Hemmed the top
and bottom and put
in gourmets. WaLa...
a shower curtain.



It adds to the "Bear Den" effect. Oh by the way, you can see the foot of the little black bear, right there on the right. LOL. I will have to get a picture of him next time.
