Christmas Cozy Bed



I usually like for my bedroom to have all cream/tan bedding for a restful feeling. 

During December, though, I like to add a bit of dark red to warm things up. 

Nothing too much, just 2 dark red pillow cases, 2 thrifted accent pillows (brown, tan, and red), and my favorite monogram pillow.



The monogram pillow was made by my youngest daughter (the one who just got married).  She used a pre-made pillow form from Target and added the beaded monogram and stiched holly with berries onto the bottom.  It's just beautiful!



My regular bedding is a cream colored matelasse coverlet with a pebble texture that I got years ago at  Burlington Coat Factory,  topped with an ivory quilt I found at Sears.

    I love the idea of adding a little
    Christmas to the bedroom!
    I'm gonna keep that in mind for next year!

    Okay where do you store these items when you aren't using them?? I would love to change up the bedding in our room, but I have no idea where to store the unused set??

    As my daughter used to say when she was just a wee one: "I would like my nap now, please." What a soothing and cozy holiday bed!

    The only things I don't use regularly are the red pillow cases. I just purchased them in the clearance section at TJMaxx. They'll store easily with my other pillow cases. The other three pillows are usually on a chair or sofa around the house. Because I have red in the rest of my house, I can use them year round.

How To Make Your Own Exercise Bike For Next To Nothing

Remember back in April when I had a kidney transplant?  Well, the kidney is doing great (thanks, Cathy , for taking such good care of it when you owned it).  There was one little glitch, however.  During surgery, the retractors they used caused some nerve damage in my right leg.  When I woke up from surgery, I couldn't move or feel my leg.  The docs felt like the feeling would come back but the paralysis had them stumped.  A visit to a neurologist ruled out a stroke and a CT scan showed some fluid which was pressing on L4 and L5 (medical talk which means I couldn't feel or move part of my leg).  The prognosis is good and I'm recovering pretty quickly.  In fact, I've left my cane behind and I'm walking freestyle without falling.  My next goal is to be able to drive. I've been itching to get back to exercising (physical therapy doesn't count) because my medication causes me to gain weight and I need to burn some calories.  Running? - n...

Plans For A DIY Exercise Bike Stand

  Thank you to so many of you who emailed me about plans for the DIY Exercise Bike Stand .  I apologize that it has taken me so long to get the measurements to you, but they are finally here!   The wood was purchased at Home Depot and the bike pegs were purchased at Walmart in the bike section.    The bike we used for this project is a 24" 12 speed bike (I'm a shorty).  I used the hardest gear while riding, but this set-up does not allow you to really get much resistance (for building muscle).  It was great for getting my legs moving after some nerve damage.  I also wanted to burn calories and get my heart rate up and this did the trick.    If you have any questions, just shoot me an email.

Rock-what-you-got Muffin Recipe

Back before Christmas I was given a huge amount of persimmons.  In the area I live in, Fuyu persimmon trees produce fruit in the Fall and a small tree can produce a lot of fruit.  The persimmon fruit looks like an orange tomato, but inside, it is firm like a plum.  It is rather sweet, having a honey like flavor. We like to eat them fresh, but after awhile, our huge supply was more than we could handle.  With what was left, I peeled them and pureed the flesh in the food processor.  I froze the puree in 2 cup batches in freezer bags. One of my favorite ways to use this persimmon puree is to make muffins.  I have a basic muffin recipe that I use and it is very adaptable, allowing for any kind of puree to be used. I've used all kinds of pureed fruits and veggies to make these muffins.  I've used sweet potatoes, pumpkin , apples, pears, bananas, zucchini,squash,blackberries,blueberries, and figs.  I've even used a combination of fruits and v...
