Welcome to my new blog. As long as I can remember my mother has often called me Mary B. instead of Mary Beth, hence, the inspiration for the name of my blog. My hope is that you, the reader, will enjoy the daily musings of this creative caretaker. Follow me as i share the things that bring me joy and perhaps also the challenges that can be a part of balancing the creative part of me with the reality of caring for my elderly parents.

Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice...


Finally...the wee little one has arrived...Chloe Lynn!! Hoping against all hopes that she would arrive on her great-grandmother's birthday (my mother) but she couldn't wait. After over five hours of labor she wiggled her way into the world and into the hearts of all those present and even those who were eagerly waiting at home for the wonderful news! Oh the wonder of it all...what a miracle! A picture will be forthcoming. By the way I made this garland after being inspired by something similar in a magazine...this is my version.

I found this lovely beaded garland at Camille's and for now (until I decide what to do with it) it shall find it's home atop my new dress form, a Christmas gift from family.

Here she is...my twin...hope I have time to create something beautiful with her help...

Getting ready for a shabby makeover...

I would like to introduce you to Apple, the canine member of the family, although totally unaware of this fact, she rather fancies herself as the human kind.
