But I don't know what a jam roll or a jam scroll is! I still want to eat them! I love the way you are elevating the gentle art of homemaking with your blog...from the quotes you choose to use, your fine stitchery, your sewing and your time in the kitchen creating tempting treats for Mr. E, Blossom and Cully Mae!

On my bedroom wall there is a tiny painting by the very talented artist, Kate Knapp. Sitting atop a little flowerpot, sheltered by beautiful flowers, is a sweet bird and underneath are the words, "Thank goodness for quietness." Kate will often create beautiful pictures and put the words of others underneath. These words though are her own and I love them! They remind me that quiet moments in life are so important, a counterbalance to all the "noise".

Love the colours too. Cully May is sooooo cute! I rather like the cat too. I love Cully's expression as she is looking at the cat. I used to make bread many years ago using the quick method that was all the rage back then. There were a lot of things I used to do..make my own laundry detergent, bread, yogurt etc. Love the placemats you bought and those fabrics will certainly compliment them.
