What my kids do to me ~ Sunset and other Tidbits
The other day my younger three girls were raving about muffins I made last year. I had been discussing making pumpkin pancakes or waffles, so the topic of pumpkin was wafting through their busy brains.
"They were HUGE!"
"They were so good!"
"They were really moist and big!"

Random Tidbits
Sunday mornings are my favorite here on the homestead.

National Novel Writing Month ~ Recovery Room ~ My Herbal Journal
Today, I start writing a novel in one month. It's National Novel Writing Month. I've been participating in this for a few years now. One day, one of these quick, fired up novels, will make it to print.

These tiny flowers could be added to handmade cards, bobby pins, and so much more. I glued them to large paper clips using a clear drying, strong craft glue.
I am crocheting two flower patterns for making these. I do like the first flower better.
I keep a box of "tuck in" gifts that fit in an envelope or card, and my stash is dwindling. So many of these are going in the box.
The patterns for making flowers are in this book:
