Quilt me, I’m Irish!
Hello again and Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Well, now the Irish Chain may not actually be Irish in origin, but they say that everyone’s Irish on St. Patrick’s Day, so I think we should return the favor allow the Emerald Isle to claim the Irish chain today!

Read MoreNot your garden variety project…
Hello, I am less than pleased that the southern part of Wisconsin is forecasted to receive more snow. Enough is enough! Like I’ve said before, I’m ready for spring. Last week, I said if you wanted flowers now, take a look at Spools in the Flower Patch. I guess we’re no closer to spring, so […]
