I joke a lot about not being anything  like Martha, but I really like her.  I know some people don't care for her but she (and her gazillion member staff) have a lot of great ideas!  I got this in my inbox just now and thought ya'll might like it! 

Go HERE for the how-to.

From My Kitchen Window...

This is the view from my kitchen window this last week after the snow storm. The outhouse behind the bush is one of the original ones from back in the day. Our house is over 150 years old so I'm not sure when "back in the day" was. The silos and barns in the background used to belong to this property but now it belongs to the Amish farm next door.

This is the valance for the kitchen window. I finally finished embroidering the trim a few weeks ago but attached it to the valance material Tuesday evening while the Hubster and I watched a movie. The trim has been my tag-along to dance, piano, etc. for over a year and I'd work on it whenever I could. If you are in the mood for some primitive embroidery patterns, check out this website .
