My Casa Bella

COME IN THE EVENING, OR COME IN THE MORNING;

COME WHEN YOU'RE LOOK'D FOR,

OR COME WITHOUT WARNING.

KISSES AND WELCOME YOU'LL FIND BEFORE YOU,

AND THE OFTENER YOU COME HERE

THE MORE I'LL ADORE YOU!

-Thomas Osbourne Davis



Welcome To My Casa Bella

My Casa Bella- means-my beautiful home- but it can mean so many other things. How you make your home a home. The sounds of children or pets playing. The aroma of scones in the oven or a lilac candle burning. The flowers blooming in your garden. The home grown vegetables ready to be picked. Grandma's quilt at the foot of the bed. A fire to curl up to with a good book. Or just a family spending time together with love, laughter and a good time.

Mad For Plaid!!!

Yup!! Plaid is back and boy am I EXCITED!!! I LOVE it, I always have but for some reason it comes and goes in fashion. Yet in England, Scotland and Ireland its everywhere. When we visited London, I saw it in the shops, but not here. No sirree, its hard to find. So when I received my latest Country Living magazine and opened it up to the pages and saw PLAID, I savored every picture, and then I went out and bought fabric:
Guess what I'll be making with the fabric above.....any guesses???
Don't you just LOVE that plaid Jacket above? I'm in love, I hear music in the background......The belt just finishes it off. How delicious!!
And that red plaid overcoat........GORGEOUS!! I'll take one please..
And well, I had to put this picture in, someone sewing a piece of beautiful plaid fabric into something, well, beautiful, obviously.
So, there it is, I LOVE plaid in case you didn't figure that out. And what am I making with my fabric, with the pretty black rose? You'll have to wait and see....I already cut the fabric this evening, I'm still working on it though. You'll have to wait, sorry......

    Hi! Sorry to get back to you so late with a reply (to my post on gf granola). Yes, they were "human consumption" oats :) They were Bob's RM as well. After reading many articles about regular oats, I found substantial evidence that there either a) is little to no gluten in them or b) the small amount there IS in them doesn't harm celiacs (check the ADA website). So, long story long, I used regular cheapo quick oats for my granola.

    Secondly, I LOVE this coat pattern and the plaid you chose! I am a sucker for a cute blazer or coat, and am trying to incorporate that style back into my wardrobe (recently gave away a lot of clothes). Oh, and please visit my blog again! :)
