I figured something out this week. Are you ready? Because it’s pretty amazing, and probably applies to you as well! The past week or two I’ve discussed composting and making my own detergent. When I saw the recipes for detergent I could not get over how excited I was. I started thinking I must be [...]

Thanks to Dee’s blog I caught this. Won’t you join in? Think how cozy you will be on Saturday night with the candles all aglow. Turn it into a celebration of this great big wonderful planet we live on. And remember little things do make a difference, especially when they are multiplied by a 1000, [...]

This is my compost bucket. I quit using my garbage disposal and throwing vegetable/fruit matter in the trash about 18 months ago.

Honestly it does [...]

I can only think of a few occasions where I have impulsively published a post. This is one of them. I just spent all day working on my block for Jacquie’s quilting Project Improv. I’m am so excited I might burst. Thus this impulsive post. For years I have admired the quilts of Gee’s Bend [...]

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words to us about my grandmother! I can’t even express what they mean to me, and how comforting it is to have your thoughts and prayers. I so appreciate it!

A little tee shirt embroidery project, inspired by Molly’s tees. She’s got quite a few delicious projects that you might find inspiring. And I’m documenting my creative to do list here so I won’t lose it. I write things on pieces of paper all over the house, and then can’t find them later. If I put [...]
About
Jackie
I'm a human being, sometimes fumbling through life, but more often amazed by the great glorious adventure that it is. If you want labels - I'm a stay at home mom, a tree hugger, a tightwad, a wife, a nerd, a jogger, a bookworm, a creative soul, a pretty good cook, a beloved child of God, an avid hobby photographer, a person who likes to dip her toes into all that life has to offer. In fact you might find that we have a lot in common, and that labels don't really explain the complexity of human beings.
Thanks for visiting me, I always love to hear from you! You can also email me at b(dot)jackie79(at)yahoo(dot)com-
