Furniture Dilemmas
I’ve been working on my second Decorating Dilemma and should be ready to post that next week, but it got me thinking… What about doing Furniture Dilemmas? I know my readers love furniture makeovers and, since I don’t have a studio space outside of my home any longer and I’m not getting ready for markets […]
quick turkey avocado burgers
Back in January, I started taking pictures of what I was eating through the day…mostly breakfast, lunch, and some snacks, and sharing it on my Instagram Stories. I didn’t plan to continue doing it, but I’ve received so many comments from people who have found it inspiring and encouraging, so I’ve kept sharing. As a […]

#indexcardartproject take two
Since regaining the use of my right arm, I have been working on getting back into oil painting. It’s been a challenge to try to fit it into my schedule. It’s not just busyness with work, but with family, church, and personal goals (meal prep, exercise, language-learning). When I’m trying to fit it all into […]
German Cucumber Salad Recipe
One thing I grew to love during my childhood spent in Germany was German food! Oh, my mouth waters just thinking about it the warm pretzels with fresh butter, spaetzle with brown gravy, potato pancakes topped with fine applesauce, and crispy schnitzel. I also loved German cucumber salad. Several years ago, I received this recipe […]
