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.

My Computer Buddies


I was sitting at our computer desk doing some researching and reading and my babies wanted to join me so as you see, they both squeezed in behind the computer and curled up together while I typed and read. So cute! As you can also see, I was having a cup of delicious Paris tea by Harney and Sons.

Our friends in Upstate NY introduced us to this tea and now I'm addicted. It is so delicious and I also love their Indian Nimbu tea as well. If you love tea, then you have to check out this site and order samples if you're afraid you may not like it. Good to the last drop!!(I know that's Maxwell House, but I thought it appropiate for tea as well..:)Their cans are pretty too. (For some reason its not adding my link to the site, so here it is http://www.harney.com

Another Craft Show



My friend, Valerie and I, are getting ready for another show this Saturday. The show is in Cascade, MD at the Ft. Ritchie Community Center. This time I'm trying to make some pretty clipboards. Of course, this isn't a new idea. It's been done by others and I thought, "I could do that". I collect scrapbook paper and all kinds of stickers and fun stuff. I like paper crafting and so does Valerie. So we attempting this project. My workstation looked like it exploded. But that's how I work. Then when I'm done, you wouldn't be able to tell I was even there. I love my workshop. My hubby gave up the "man room" for me. Since I love to sew, scrapbook, and do crafting, he gave me the room beside the garage. I'll have to take pictures and post them. It's a great room, my getaway. And as you see, I even have tea there. I do have pretty tea cups, I just need to get them out, since tea is much better in dainty girly teacups.
So, I've been working hard getting ready for the show and I can't wait. All I need to do is add ribbon to my clipboards and I'm ready to go. Oh my, it's only 3 days away, no stress.............


Well, its been quite some time since I blogged. Way too long. I don't know why, because I do enjoy doing this. Maybe too much. Once I start, I can't get off the computer. Oh well, here I am and here is my last sewing creation. I really enjoy making aprons. This one I made for a dear friend who lives in Upstate NY, we visited them back in March and we had such a great time. So I wanted to send her an apron. It has tea cups and teapots with sayings. She and her husband LOVE tea. They introduced me to some loose tea and I'm addicted. Just love it. I have one to two cups a day. So I thought I'd make her an apron with tea all over it. Of course, I've yet to mail it. It's all packaged and ready to go, but for some reason I just hate going to the Post Office, but this gift is way over due.
