I think I have been sheltered now for 10 weeks. Being high risk with anemia, my family put the whammy on me early in this adventure. The first week I thought, this is really great. Working from home and finishing up the sewing magazine for press would be fun. Challenging maybe, but fun. Our teams are troupers, and they have …
I hope that each of you find the time to pamper yourself during Mother’s Day weekend and all year long! One of the most luxurious ways to treat myself has been investing in soothing and effective skin care products that make me feel and look refreshed. Recently, my self-care routine has been introduced to the gentle products from Savannah-based Sapelo …

I went out to see it and decided since we were having storms, I would bring it in for the Easter weekend. The color was breathtaking. Now those …

We just don’t like the unpredictable nature of our current situation and can’t really figure out what to do. Do you find yourself in that mindset? I went to the store …
There are things that crack me up! I was in a staff meeting this week with some of the most wonderful people in our company. We were putting the final touches on our 2020 events this year, and I said to one of the girls, “Carbon me on that, please.” She looked at me and said, “I don’t know what …
I hope your 2020 has started off with great joy and happiness. We have all made our New Year’s resolutions I am sure, but mine have changed during the years. Oh, yes—I have started 45 diets and resolved to get organized in my sewing room, but as years have passed, my resolutions have changed. During the Christmas season, my son …

Thanksgiving week has always been a favorite of mine. When I was a schoolgirl many, many years ago, I remember with great fondness the pine cone turkeys we would all make. This signified that a wonderful season was ahead. Then the Pilgrim hats would be made next, and the Thanksgiving season was officially underway. We rode to our grandparents’ homes …
