The last Community Thursday of March 2016! This month has held many surprises and delights for me, and I hope for you as well. Spring is full-on blooming everywhere here, which has brought beauty, delightful smells, and allergies. [there’s always a price, isn’t there.] Spring celebration, all over nature. This is […]
Happy Spring, readers and friends! I know that some of you are actually getting snow RIGHT NOW as I type this… sorry about that… but here in Baltimore the ground and trees are covered in seasonal blooms and tiny green leaves, and I am flying high on the energy that the Springtime season brings […]

Baking tasty goodies to share? Maybe there is something here today that will add to your holiday celebrating, or help you […]
I usually do my recommendations and endorsements in a blog round-up, but sometimes a fiber artist really deserves more attention than that, and that’s definitely the case with my friend Judy and her business PetPals4Ever!
