An old family favorite, these have been on my mind a lot lately.  Needing to share with a friend, I thought I'd post this here for everyone to enjoy.  Sorry, no pics available, but truly, these are fantastic little tidbits!  Try them....you'll like them! <!--[if !mso]> v\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} o\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} p\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} .shape {behavior:url(#

Life's little lessons are all around us - just ask the animals!  We live in a wildlife preserve in a small community in the East Texas Piney Woods.   Watching the native animals is one of the delights of living here.  Deer, fox, mountain lions and bobcats are as common as cats and dogs.  But it's those cats and dogs that caught my attention in the last few days. Our kitten Molly, a "gift" from

Some of my fondest memories are of the "just for fun" holiday - Halloween! It was the one day of the year that I could stay out late roaming the streets with my friends - boys & girls! As we became teens, we papered a few houses and rang doorbells and ran. But mostly we just dressed up in homemade costumes, gathered candy, cupcakes, popcorn balls, and apples. Yes, I grew up before we were

What a year this has been!  After nearly 20 years of planning and saving, my dear hubby & I began building our dream home in the midst of the East Texas piney woods.  We poured our heart and soul into the physical labor, enjoying the winter cold and the windy spring.  Then came the summer of discontent.....a summer unlike any other in our lifetime.  The yearlong drought conditions worsened; the

Did I mention it was HOT in Texas? Seriously hot, as in 105 to 108 for the last few days. The doggies won't even head outdoors to do their business without a shove out the door. The birdbath needs refilling 2 times per day, and the birds are flying holding patterns round the lawn waiting their turn at the fountain. So, I'm indoors, sweltering as the air conditioner tries it's darnedest to

Yep, my dear husband's an engineer, and a very fine photographer too.  Everything he makes is done with a precision that is agonizing for me to watch.  His work is fantastic, and was the origin of our online gallery.  ...and then, there's ME!  His polar opposite!  He just shakes his head when he enters my workshop.  Take my flame fashioned organza flowers for instance.  I like to purchase fabric

We've spent most of our lives vacationing along America's southern Gulf Coast, anywhere from Texas to Florida.   Unfortunately, we've only recently come to the full realization of the unique and wonderful beauty that is the US Gulf Coast. For us, the wonder of childhood was replaced by the wanderlust of youth and we longed for unfamiliar horizons.  Travel and longevity have brought us back home

Last week we lost a 3 year old cousin in a terrible accident.  We graduated a grandson from high school.  We hospitalized my father-in-law.  It was a week of highs and lows, a real roller-coaster ride.  It was also a time for much reflection on the important things in life, and these 3 stand out: Faith, Family and Friends.

My whole family loves this dish!  Especially in the summer, when the Texas heat makes it hard to find meals that are both filling and refreshing, this one fits the bill.  While it's got healthy fresh veggies, it IS NOT a diet meal - far from it!  But it's so, so good!  Adjusts easily for your tastes, and the number of folks you need to serve.

Which online shopping site do you prefer...Etsy or Zibbet?  Before you answer, please take time to visit each shop and see it with an open mind, as if it were your first online shopping experience.  We aren't playing favorites here; we LOVE all three of our shops.  They are like 3 children to us -- each different but loved for it's own special characteristics.  http://www.texaseagle.etsy.com

There are lots of folks out here bashing one venue or the other.  Not me, I've loved being an Etsy seller for over a year now and have done quite well with our shops.  But the opportunity to join Zibbet just felt right so we followed our hearts and jumped right in.  Glad we did! Zibbet is not Etsy.  So what?  It's warm and friendly with a hands on, small town shop feel.  I think it's like having

As if the two little redheaded boys at the top of this shop weren't enough to draw me in....just look at this adorable toy sword offered by 2 Sleepyheads Quilted Creations Every little swashbuckler I know would love one of these!  Please stop in and visit this fine Texas Zibbeteer.   You can find more items from our talented Texas group by searching Zibbet with the letters "zbtx".

Today I'm featuring another of our Texas Zibbeteers:                                 Vintage Books Richard has some unique and collectible items, including this vintage Stetson which appears to be in tip-top shape for a hat of it's age.  He's got lots of history on this hat too.  This shop is quite new, and is certainly an indication of the wonderful variety of goods you can find at Zibbet.

Do you Zibbet??  I do, and I LOVE it. Zibbet is the hottest new outlet for handmade arts and crafts on the net.  It is user friendly, as well as real people friendly.  It has a warm and welcoming feel....like walking into a charming little shop on the lane when you've just left the Big Box Store on the freeway.   Yes, it's new and will definitely suffer some growing pains.  But for alot of us,

Organza is one of my favorite fabrics, and I fell in love with this rainbow blend. Take a look at our latest organza creation - Cupcake Corsages. These would be perfect for a lovely Mothers Day gift, or for prom. We've made matching earrings. We package each corsage on a reusable cupcake stand inside a ribbon tied cello wrap. Perfect for gifting!

Well, hope everyone had a Happy Easter. The weather in Texas was lovely (our part of it at least....it's a VERY large place). We did a bit of "hunting" in the woods and found another batch of "hearted" hickory nut shells. Seriously, we found lots of shells, but very few with these perfect heart shapes. Good news: we found enough to lower the price to $20 for each pendant. We also found

Saturday I found myself walking down the long gravel driveway that I've walked for 13 years. This time something grabbed my attention and swept me away! I spied a little heart in the dirt and quickly realized it as a hickory shell. Wow! I'd stepped on them for years, but never really saw them. Now it was as clear as day & I felt as though I'd just removed my blinders. Of course I had to

This time of year, everyone is Irish! Who doesn't love St. Patrick's Day? It's had me thinking what it is that's so appealing. Of course the unspoiled beauty of the land itself is enough to take you there - in person if you've a bit of Irish luck. But the thing that draws you back again is definitely the people!

March is just around the corner, and with it comes everything GREEN. The crocus stems are already peaking from the soil, along with a few bright green weeds. The promise of more sunshine and warm afternoons brings a sigh of relief. This is one of the best times of the year! While St. Patrick's Day festivities will center round green beer and crazy parades, there is also a place to remember

A record Texas snowfall has me thankful for a lot of things we usually take for granted. After trees falling all around, I'm thankful for my warm and dry home. After hours of no power, I'm thankful for the folks that brave the storm to keep the electricity flowing. After almost a day of being snowed in the neighborhood, I'm thankful for the freedom and good health that allows me to come and go

While posting a new line of prints for our shop, my mind started to ponder the lives of carousel ponies. Surely they have seen it all! In our last visit to the great State Fair of Texas, we stood for ages just watching the story of life unfold on this majestic old carousel. We tried to capture the "forever young" thrill of a carousel ride in our shots. We were charmed as we watched the

Another cloudy, dreary and cold week. A perfect time for a warm fire and a cup of tea - two things that make me feel blessed and warm inside, knowing everything is well with the world.
