Some stitches whisper.
The woven stitch? She speaksโsoftly, beautifully, with structure and soul.
If youโre looking to add rich texture, visual interest, and a little โhow did you do that?โ energy to your needlepoint, the woven stitch deserves a front-row seat in your stitch vocabulary.
Letโs break it down.
The woven stitch is a decorative, surface-covering stitch that creates the look of interlaced threadsโalmost like a tiny basket or textile woven right into your canvas. Unlike basic tent stitches that lie flat, woven stitches add dimension and depth, making them perfect for areas you want to highlight.
Think:
Itโs classic. Itโs elegant. And yesโit looks more complicated than it actually is.
Hereโs why the woven stitch has a loyal fan club:
This stitch is especially stunning in monochromatic or tonal color palettes, where the texture gets to shine without competing colors.
Thread choice matters hereโthis stitch loves a little body.
Great options include:
Avoid anything too fuzzy or overly delicateโthe stitch needs definition to keep that crisp woven look.
This stitch thrives when it has room to breathe. Itโs not meant for tiny, tight spaces.
Ideal uses:
If youโre stitching a preppy-coastal or chinoiserie design (hi, welcome, youโre home), this stitch fits right in.his stitch fits right in.
While it looks intricate, the woven stitch is very learnable once you understand the rhythm. If youโre comfortable counting canvas threads and following a stitch diagram, youโve got this.
Pro tip:
Practice on a small sample first. Once your hands catch the pattern, it becomes almost meditativeโover, under, repeatโฆ very soothing, very chic.
The woven stitch is one of those techniques that elevates a piece instantly. It adds texture without shouting, structure without stiffness, and charm without trying too hard.
In other words:
Itโs the needlepoint equivalent of a perfectly tailored linen blazer.
Classic. Timeless. Worth learning.

During the summer, I have created designs from the sea glass I collected while visiting in Japan. The prints and designs have been a hit and while
sharing them with friends and customers, they ask about my visit. Today’s post is just a small window of my stay. Japan is a compact area. The cities are tight with people and moving. Everything seems to be in motion. It is much too busy for a Carolina Girl. However when you travel outside of the larger cities, you find small fishing villages where the locals are still living as they did in 1940. They work their land and the sea is their source of income. They welcomed me with warm hugs and generosity. They realized I didn’t like raw foods and made sure all my food was cooked. They understood, I didn’t sleep on tatami mats and give me the sofa to rest. Their customs are much different from America, but the one thing that shines through is the pride of their heritage and history of each family generation.
I was lucky enough to have locals that showed me throughout the countryside as well as the big cities. We used google translate to converse and there was never a dull moment. We laughed, drank saki, danced and started everyday on a new adventure to show me their country. It was magical to me.
One of my favorite things about Spring and Easter are the beautiful organic decorations and arrangements and vignette to be made! And the sweet, little Easter Egg arrangement Iโm sharing today is my favorite. So easy to make and just think of all the fun possibilities! Group them together down the center of the table and it makes a springtime centerpiece. Put one of these arrangements at each place setting and they become pleasant surprises for your guests! How fun! And donโt forget to tuck them into a spring vignette or shelves! Letโs make an easy Easter Egg arrangement!
What you need.
eggs flowers and egg cups.
If you want to color your eggs crack them first and then watercolor them.
Crack the egg about 1/4 the way from the pointy end. And gently break it. Wash it out.
Choose pretty, tiny flowers. I got these from my local grocery store and if your lucky enough, your spring trees are full of blossoms. The twigs of the First breathe of spring look so pretty mixed with daffodils.
Winter is coming and it is time to remember your feathered friends.
I love putting out birdseed and suet , watching the birds come in to feed. Their songs can brighten anyone’s day. In my yard, I have such a variety of birds that visit. I don’t have a favorite as each on them are so pretty . The small finches love the berries on the wax myrtles and flock in the top branches , flying in and out grabbing berries. The cardinals stay for a while and actually perch for a while to eat.
While visiting Yankee Candle this year , I came across Mr. Birds Edible Birdhouses. They are absolutely gorgeous. The prices started at eighty dollars and I really didn’t want to pay that . but I love the look and idea of the edible birdhouse. When I got home, I started researching how to make an edible birdhouse and as you know, you can find anything on Pinterest.
Here is what I found.
I made two birdhouses and I plan to give them to my grandchildren as surprise gifts for Christmas. They were very easy to make and I completed them in least than an hour. I let them dry overnight and wrapped them in clear cellophane , complete with a red bow to give as a gift. Super easy and so pretty
What you need.
Birdhouse – you can either make one or buy one for fairly cheap at a craft store
Edible Glue – there are many recipes out there, or you can even just use peanut butter. The recipe I used calls for flour, corn syrup, and gelatin
Different types of birdseed, raisins, dried fruit, raw nuts, etc.
Decoration – I went outside and gathered some pretty stalks of grass, holly berries, and sweetgum tree balls. Use anything you can find (as long as it’s not poisonous to the birds!)
Step 2: Make Edible Glue – I used a common recipe that I found online:
Heat up the water and then dissolve the gelatin in it. Then mix in the corn syrup and flour. Using whole wheat flour will make a light brown glue, white flour will make a white glue. Whole wheat flour is preferable for the birds as it is more nutritious.
I found that this glue is pretty workable for about half an hour before it starts setting up too much.
Step 3: Glue Birdseed and Decorate
Starting from the top down, spread a thin layer of edible glue on the house and then press birdseed, dried fruit, nuts, etc. into it.
Last year, I received an adorable Christmas gift. It was a framed old vintage red truck with led lights shining in its wreath and headlights. It graced my mantel and I didn’t want to pack it away after the holidays. Guests loved it and all wondered where I got it.
So I asked my friend where did she find this great gift and her answer was ” I made it .” She told me she created it using a gift bag she had purchased at the Dollar Tree. She was kind enough to share me how she did it and was excited that I wanted to share it on my website.
She purchased a canvas, 10 bulb led lights, and a Christmas bag. Three dollars… all from the Dollar Store and started creating.
You cut the picture from the bag to fit the canvas. Using ModgePodge , you coat the canvas with it . Press the picture onto the wet canvas and let it dry. Once dry, put another coat of ModgePodge on it to seal it completely. Let it dry. Using an icepick or sharp scissor point, punch smalls holes where you would like to the lights to shine through. Be sure to make the holes from the front to push the frays toward the back of pic. On back of canvas, push the lights into the holes. Hot glue the lights box back of canvas to secure. It is now ready to frame and dress up your mantel.
I researched on You Tube Old Red Truck and Pinterest Old Red Truck and found that others used wooden backs and drill holes to put in the lights. In addition, instead of framing the picture, they use bows and string to hang. They are absolutely adorable .
Using LED lights as a basic part of a piece of canvas art has grown into a large trend for home decor. There’s something about adding that warm glow that brings the image to life and sets a mood. We especially love this touch for the holidays. Whether it’s a candle flickering in a wintry cabin window or headlights on a red truck, that little pop of light can transform the canvas into a glowing masterpiece. Christmas signs with lights on a Christmas tree look bright and multi-colored. There are many ways to brighten the place with decorations. It can be plain white or you can use clear bulbs that look elegant and stylish. You can even add baubles and other decorations that highlight the Christmas tree and offers the opportunity to last for the entire festive period.
I have gotten so excited about them , I used my creative juices in making one for Halloween to put inside my front door wreath and I am now creating a frame for display to use during the Thanksgiving holidays. Who knows, I may even make several to give away as gifts this year.
The pic is made with dollar store bags modge podged to canvas then after it is dry I topcoat again then pop holes with pointy scissors and hot glue in battery operated lights .

Hydrangeas are the quintessential romantic summer bloom!!! Their big, moppy heads and little clusters of flowers are iconic! A bountiful bouquet of them cut and arranged on a table is pure heaven. Hydrangeas are one of the best loved flowers around! But like many things, these dramatic beauties can be a little bit of a diva! They often wilt as soon as they are cut and brought into the house. And there is nothing pretty about droopy hydrangeas! Hereโs a few ways to guarantee long lasting cut hydrangeas!
As soon as hydrangeas are cut the stems should immediately be put into tepid water. Use a sharp knife or clippers to cut each stem on a diagonal and submerge!
Cut hydrangeas in the morning and choose only the most mature blooms. They will look a little more papery than others.
Use clean, room temperature water for hydrangeas. If you have floral preservative use it too.
When you bring hydrangeas inside make sure you strip off the leaves from each hydrangea stem. I break this rule oftenโฆ and I shouldnโt! The leaves are big water drinkers and will steal it from the blooms. At least, strip off most of the leaves. Those that are below the water line should absolutely be removed!
Cut the hydrangeas stems to the desired length. Smash the very bottom of them to allow more water to travel up the stems and feed the blooms. I use a wooden meat mallet to crush the ends of the hydrangeas I bring inside. You can also cut the bottom of each stem on the diagonal and then make a cut up each stem instead of smashing it.
Yes, boiling water! Hydrangeas produce a โsapโ that clogs their stems and blocks water from traveling up it to those gorgeous blooms. The boiling water helps to do away with the sap.
Put boiling water into a cup. Dip each stem into the boiling water for 30 seconds and immediately put them into a vase or container filled with room temperature water (see directions above).
Replacing the water in the vase or containers that hold hydrangeas will keep them fresher longer! Also, give hydrangeas a fresh cut and dip them in boiling water before putting them in the fresh water!
It takes a little extra care to have a big beautiful bouquet of hydrangeas gracing your home but they are worth it.
Studies have revealed that there are certain health benefits from eating bittersweet chocolate.
Consuming bittersweet chocolate on a daily basis is actually quite good for you. All variations of dark chocolate contain antioxidants that lower blood pressure and help protect your heart.
This is an intense, creamy one-ingredient chocolate mousse adapted from the molecular gastronomist Hervรฉ . The nearly instant recipe also happens to be vegan; without the distraction of cream or eggs, a complex chocolate can shine. The mousse serves four, and it can be doubled. But even if youโre serving two, donโt be tempted to halve it.
This is a super easy, super rich. Follow the recipe to a T.
The mousse holds up quite a while too, so I was able to make this way ahead of time, and just scooped it into pretty glasses.
I didn’t have the arm strength to whisk by hand so cheated and used a hand mixer. ๐
Everyone likes it, but it got a little….intense after a while, so I added a bit of high quality olive oil, which made it taste even more amazing
This is how the Spanish make their delicious “chocolate.” They use milk serve it hot with churros. The cold version has to be eaten immediately or the fat separates and floats to the top. I love it because It’s like getting a shot of espresso for a chocoholic. Let’s Celebrate Bittersweet Chocolate Day !

We are getting ready for the first snow in the Carolinas. 2017. And they promise it will be a big one. To a East Coast Carolina Girl, any snow is big . The water and bread shortage has begun and the snow doesn’t arrive until midnight. Other necessities like wine, movies, evaporated milk and sugar can still be found. A favorite in Carolina is snow cream. And my mother made the best. A recipe close to hers is made by Mama Peggy. Click to enjoy her recipe. Mama Peggy . I love hot chocolate and my plans are to put the crockpot on and settle in with a scrumptious cup of peppermint hot chocolate and catch up on my kindle unlimited books. Awwww.
There is a feel of Autumn approaching. Fogs across the fields in the morning and leaves falling from the trees. Nights cool quickly and the warmth from the fire pit feels perfect. It’s never too early for cheesecake and this recipe is a hit with a cup of coffee sitting by the fire. And it is a no- bake recipe. Easy-Peasy!
Itโs time for an Italian dinner party. I purchased some new wines for taste testing and I found on Pinterest the copycat recipe of Carrabbaโs dipping oil. All thatโs left is my sonโs guaranteed-for-delicious spaghetti sauce recipe and add the finishing touches to the menu. I love dinner parties and will use any excuse for friends to stop by. Today I liked to share a few tips I use to create a fun dinner party.
What makes a great dinner party? Besides food, wine, and friends, what are the easiest ways to set a dinner party atmosphere? Well, here are my own top tips for creating the dinner party atmosphere. They are all really simple .
Before, I give you my tips, there is one important thing and it is the most important. To invite friends who are your friends and who you enjoy around your table. Whether you are serving a simple dish , grilling or several courses, your guests are here to spend time with you. This feeling comes from the heart and a relaxed and hospitable party begins it. The spirit of the hostess carries the party.
My favorite time of the day for a party to begin is dusk. Whether you are serving the meal from your deck , back porch or dining area, as evening sets in, people tend to relax and are ready to enjoy cocktails and conversation.
My first tip is to turn down the lights. It is the easiest thing to do and sets a tone of peacefulness. Secondly, I light candles. You can purchase tea lights and place them in clear glass containers. Candles add movement and warmth to a table. They donโt have to be an expensive habit. I own the Luminara Real-Frame Effect candles that operate with a rechargeable battery. The flame appears so real. I never have to worry about fire, plus honestly, in the long run, they are less expensive than real candles.
Another tip is use fabric napkins. People enjoy the feel of fabric and they add a gracious touch to the table. They donโt have to be expensive. In fact, you can make your own .

Be sure to bring the outdoors inside. It doesnโt have to be lavish, like a florist centerpiece. Whatever is growing in your yard, can be placed near the candles or even spread a little greenery and flowers throughout the serving dishes.
Always have water and water glasses on the water and remember the salt and pepper. I add pitcher of water at each end of the table and several sets of salt and pepper.

Last but certainly not least, donโt forget the music. My pastime is dance and most of all my friends are dancers. So naturally, we love our music. I use Pandora and have preselected stations that play our favorite tunes. I set it on shuffle and it is like we have our own DJ in the booth.
By the time, we have finished our meal, we are usually ready for another cocktail and enjoy dancing and learning new steps from each other on the deck. We take the party outside , by the tabletop firepit and enjoy as the night moves in.
Giving……….Are you in debt? Did you make an commitment to pay by using credit ? What does the Bible say about this ? Ecclesiates 5:5 says It is better that you should not vow than that you should vow and not pay. God is not an accountant, but the Bible says we should always pay our vows. Our vows are our promise to others and God of our sincerity and character .
So if you cant pay your creditors and give to God, you should pay your creditors and honor that commitment. In most instances, you can do both, but it means making sacrifices. Believe that God will provide what you need if you make the commitment to do it. Believing is making reality in your life.
Those who sincerely care about the needs of others give, according to their means, to help alleviate needs of others. They are the doers as described in James 1:22. Prove yourselves doers of the world and not merely hearers who delude themselves. Those who say they care but fail to back up their words with their money are the hearers who delude themselves.
John tells us to love not only in words but in truth and with deeds of giving. We are told that whoever has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need and closes his heart against him, how does the love of God abide in him? Let’s not love with word, but in deed and truth. 1 John 3: 17-18
I love this time of year and at the end of a day, I really don’t want to go inside. The weather is cool but still enjoyable. Watching the sunset and the sky changing colors gives me such a restful feeling. I love my tabletop fire pit. It adds just enough heat to keep me cozy. I found another great DIY outside project that takes only a hour to create and by night fall, I can enjoy the results with my tabletop fire pit.
It is inexpensive too. I bought Dollar Tree solar lights and flower pots . I already had the paints. Since I’m not crafty as an artist, I just pour a small amount of paint on the flower pots. Let them dry. Insert your lights and you are all set with perfect little table lights.
Now all I add is a glass of wine, toes up and watch the sunset.
Easter, which celebrates Jesus Christโs resurrection from the dead, is Christianityโs most important holiday. It has been called a moveable feast because it doesnโt fall on a set date every year, as most holidays do. Instead, Christian churches in the West celebrate Easter on the first Sunday following the full moon after the vernal equinox on March 21. Therefore, Easter is observed anywhere between March 22 and April 25 every year.
My Easter morning begin with Hot Cross Buns and Hot coffee. I wake at 4 am. Sunrise services at church begin soon. I love making this service. Seeing the sun rise gives me the reassurance that Jesus Christ indeed was raised from death . How fitting to see “The Son ” rise on Easter morning. After this service, I chat with fellow Christians , glad to have this day to give pause and reflection to our faith. We will be back in a couple of hours for worship service and afterwards, many of us have guests arriving for dinner to celebrate the day. Our Christian friends who don’t have family nearby are invited to our homes. Our church family is close and we make sure all can celebrate with friends on this special day. My traditional Easter Dinner begins with a Honey Basted Ham. Most of my dinner menu can be prepared the day before, so my Easter Day can be enjoyed with family and friends. When family arrives, they always have a side dish. Our table soon becomes a feast fit for a king. The children have their annual Easter Egg Hunt in the back yard and hurry in with their baskets full of eggs to count, to see who wins the big prize chocolate bunny. No one goes home empty handed. They are miniature bunnies for anyone who looked for eggs. Enjoying family and friends at Easter makes such a special day. We gather around the table, hold hands and give God the Glory for his Beloved Son who is our Lord and Savior. Wishing you all a very Blest and Christlike Easter.

Imagine a room filled with 55,000 chocolate Easter Eggs wrapped in purple foil all ready for delivery. The smell of peanut butter and cream cheese together with melted chocolate . That is what you will find at the Kernersville First Presbysterian Church each Easter season. Volunteers from the church begin the Lenten season hand dipping chocolate Easter eggs. This is an annual fundraiser for the church and the monies from the 45 cent eggs have offered financial support to various charities in their community. In 2015 they provided support to: Kernersville Police Department’s Camp for Kids, Kernersville Fire Department’s Safety Seat Program, Crisis Control, Next Step Ministries Battered Women’s Shelter, Kernersville Local Schools Gift Cards for Student Needs, and Kernersville Library for Children’s Books. The Egg Ministry also provides support for First Presbyterian’s Scholarship Fund and Youth Mission activities.
Church ministries throughout North Carolina have their Easter egg hunts and Chocolate ministries, but Kernersville Presbysterian is known statewide. The orders for eggs begin in January, from people from all over the state. You can even order them online and have them shipped. Their recipe is a secret. I have tried several chocolate Easter egg recipes through the years and I have my own favorite. It has the added ingredient of cream cheese combined with the chocolate that makes the inside so creamy and light. So if you are not able to order your eggs in time from the local church, try this recipe at home. Personalized it with your special love one’s names. They are delicious and they won’t last long.
Spring is here! Spring Mornings in Carolina are beautiful. Waking up before the sun rises and you see the mellow moon casting its light through shades of pinks. As the sun shows it glow, for about an hour you can see the sun and moon . The moon fades away in white. And the sun lights the horizons with streaks of gold, pink, and blues. Sunrise and dusk are favorite parts of your day in Carolina. The air is still a tad nippy . You can bundle up with your cup of coffee and enjoy the view . I like sitting by a fire. i saw an idea on Pinterest I just had to try. It is a FireGlass Pit. It was so easy. I only needed three items. A terracota pot, three cans of sterno and couple of bags of fire glass. Just what is fire glass? It is glass that has been crushed, tempered and the edges are smooth. It doesn’t combust or leave an odor.
So how do you create your own tabletop pit ? Take your three sterno cans and place in your terracota bowl. I make a triangle shape . Add your fire glass. Completely surround your cans with the fire glass. Fire Glass comes in assorted colors, so you have options on accenting your table. I love the blue. Watching the fire reflecting off the glass makes me feel cozy and the heat is just enough to warm the air while you enjoy the sunrise and your cup of coffee. It is the best way to start your Carolina morning.
Remember as a child learning the difference between an aquarium and a terrarium. I went right from minnows in a glass jar to wanting the glow in the dark fish in an aquarium. I remember bringing home the square glass container. The fish survived the trip home in the plastic bag, but after a month of sporadic feedings and not maintaining the water temperatures needed, my little glow fish went to the other side and I was left with an empty container. I felt I had let my fish down, and as a eight year old, I felt like it was the end of the world. My Dad came to the rescue. He said , “why don’t you try making a terrarium with your empty container?” I didn’t know much about terrariums; certainly no more than the I did about aquariums. I was unsure, but dad boasted my interest . I went to the local library and found a book on terrariums. It seemed pretty easy. I needed pebbles, small charcoal , potting soil and plants. Once you plant them in the glass container, you put a lid on it and watch your plants grow.
I created my terrarium and loved the way the plants seem to grow overnight. Some mornings I wake and there was condensation on the sides and I remember the book saying to open up the top to “let the fog lift.” I came in one day and saw something moving in the terrarium. It was a little turtle. My Dad had put him in there. I now had another mission. We took a little shell and fill it up with water and found what little turtles needed to eat. I kept my terrarium for three years. The little turtle grew and he seemed very happy . He definitely thought he was human. Eventually my passion for terrariums subsided and other passions came into my life. I decided to let my turtle go. He crawled away into the water of our ponds.
This favorite memory stayed with me. Loving floral design and gardening has always been my passion. And I love what you can do with plants under glass. If you don’t have a green thumb, this is the ideal planter for you.
There are so many pretty and versatile miniature terrariums available. Your local nursery/greenhouses make it easy. They have potted plants that favor living in low light and under glass. Also there are even kits available from Amazon that give step by step in creating your garden.
Garden cloches make a beautiful gift for that special someone. And you will want to have your own.
It’s spring! Fresh flowers are the best and easiest accents for Easter. They make a table come alive. There are so many table linens and napkins in spring colors. It is hard to choose.

A favorite of mine is to make bunny ears with the linen napkins. They look so adorable gracing the table for Easter. Just how to make them is easy.
Fold the napkin in half and then in half again, forming a long rectangle.
Fold the right and left sides down to meet in the center, forming a point at the top.
Fold the bottom corners up, also meeting at the center.
Fold in the side corners so that they meet in a point. Your napkin should now be in a kite-like shape.
Very gently turn the napkin over and fold the top point downward.
Roll the right side of the napkin over, a bit past the center point.
Fold the left side over and tuck it into the pocket on the right side.
Stand your napkin bunny upright. You may need to adjust the bottom to form a base.
Fluff the bunny ears and position the napkin on your plate.
There you have it. Cutest little bunny ears ever. Happy Easter !
Bring the fresh look of spring to the dining table. Easter says pinks, yellows, lilacs, lively greens, little rabbits, chicks and jellybeans. Just displaying one large bunny with a bouquet of daffodils says SPRING has arrived. Once you add festive dishes and linens, all is left is the menu. And that is easy. A make ahead breakfast casserole with fresh fruits and cheese can be prepared the night before. You are able to celebrate Sunrise Service and be back home in time for an easy morning brunch. Check out these table settings for ideas. The simple tulips in lavender colors with the colored eggs are so pretty. For more ideas, please visit this link. Also MY Pinterest Page has lots of ideas for spring and Easter.
