When we had the retail store, we got to see first hand what happens when a plus size woman comes in and shops. They hesitate, they admire and they leave. Even with a full rack of plus size aprons devoted to them, they touch, they linger, look and leave. We learned that it had nothing…
New Apron designs are always exciting. This one is our first single piece apron. It has no waistband, no separate bodice or skirt. It’s just one piece with long ties. The neck ties work best if they are pretied to the length that works for you. Doing that, you can toss it on as if…
Sometimes you are working and need an apron that has added strength. You are doing tough work and you don’t want to worry about your clothes. But Canvas can be hard to wear, it can be very stiff and uncomfortable to move in for a long time period. We took a light weight canvas and…
I am not a hoarder per se. But I do come form a long line of old northern Yankees. Making do, reusing and “don’t throw it away” are not a new terms for me but ingrained into my personality. I innately look for connections, I love to create circles of things and rebirths of items…
Some winters last longer than others. This past one had me worrying that the weather had changed forever. The cold would not stop. I resigned myself that the warmth would never come. It did come. But I still feel worried. I took pictures of the buds, just case the snow falls again and they die….

Steamed Pudding dates back to the early 16th Century. It is a pudding made of fruit and nuts and is steamed in a molded pan that gives shape to its presentation. It is sliced like cake and served warm with whipped cream, ice cream or a warm glaze. The key to steamed pudding is that…
At summers end, the frost comes and with it are taken the leaves and stems. They lay wilted and done. Now without their fullness creating covers and shade you will find what lies beneath and for me, I find gourds. Now easy to pick, easy to see, I step about the wilting stems and gather…
My Meatloaf recipe is worth sharing, especially if you are an Oatmeal lover. In a bowl, mix up a finely chopped large sweet onion, 3/4 cup Pasta sauce, 3/4 cup Oats, 2 beaten eggs, 4 finely chopped cloves garlic. Mix lightly. Then add 1 and a 1/2 pound hamburg. Mix it together with your hands…
When gardeners start the garden year, they have expectations of what they will grow and what the vegetables will look like when they harvest them. If you haven’t gardened before, the thing to know is that the plants, like us, have life spans. Meaning, they have a baby stage, a mid stage, a full grown…
I discovered that 2 ingredient recipes are not always simple to make. The term, Two ingredients, does not mean; quick to make, time saving, or any other term. It only refers to the fact that there are only 2 ingredients. The amount of labor has its own meaning. I printed out this recipe from Kirby’s…
