I might have shared this idea with you before, but it never hurts to share something again, right? I live in a part of California that is very hot in the summer.  This makes for delicious  ...

http://sweetbeecottage.blogspot.com/2015/06/a-simple-idea.html

I am feeling very ambitious this summer.  Very ambitious.  Probably to the point where I will over-promise and under-deliver.  But, I like to put these ideas out there and let them percolate...

My last post was about inspiration for my future craft studio. Here is what it looks like now. It's sort of cabin-y, rustic and has always been one of my favorite rooms.  I used to hav...

Worker Bee and I have been talking.  That's a good thing. We have a guest room that has also been functioning as a part-time crafts studio.  I love the room, but it doesn't quite function c...

I can't say I haven't had a chance to do this yet this summer, but….I've been…..reading.  I know, I know.  It's a shame that a teacher spent the summer reading.  Why you'd think I actuall...
