"My Favorite Pastime"....

Wednesday, April 25, 2012


"Puttering" may be my favorite pastime. 

I love wandering from house to garden....
from upstairs to downstairs.

I love checking on the radishes....

the lettuce...

the broccoli...
 (still cannot believe I actually have real live heads of broccoli in my garden?...how cool is that!)

I love folding warm laundry.

I love deciding on dinner, & preparing it early in the day.

I love that my kitchen table constantly has a project strewn over it.

I love sweet aromas softly spiraling throughout my home.

I love that I am O.K. with imperfection.

I love being home.

Enjoy yours....

"Quilted Decisions".....

Tuesday, April 24, 2012

    Today I am thinking quilts. I am so ready to pick a design, choose fabric & get started.I am thinking possibly a simple "nine patch",.... but done in colors that are exuberant, yet "antique-y"....shades a bit unexpected,...slightly off.

     

    moss green/faded yellow?

     

    melon pink /soft red?

     

    french blue/ worn browns?

     

    Decisions?...Decisions? 

    I'll keep you posted....

    "Greetings".......

    Saturday, April 14, 2012

    Greetings from my home to yours!.......I have been away far too long from this beloved little blog of mine!.....2012 hit & it seems our household & family has had one thing after another needing our attention.
    My dear sister-in-law passed away a few weeks ago & traveling, & attending her funeral & saying our last good-byes was something that was sad, but healing at the same time. It seems that during the course of each day, something reminds me of Jackie, & I find myself smiling....I know she is with me always.....
    Then three weeks later my beautiful daughter Holly was married!.....a very hands-on, home-made wedding...& may I say an incredibly lovely affair!....We were told over & over that it felt like a party in our own home, which I took as the highest of compliments!
    And now it seems that my darling daughter Mallory is knee-deep in designing costumes for a production of Peter Pan here in San Diego....In fact my sister-in-law Terri & I spent all day yesterday working at the theater, "bedazzling" costumes & making tu-tu's!!....What a great way to spend an afternoon!
    So now back to my blog!....Spring is here & I for one am so ready!....
    I have so enjoyed reading many of your blog posts, all about subjects pertaining to Spring! So I too want to join in!
    I also want to let all of you know,......who are receiving & requesting my free monthly newsletter,.... "Living Little with Heidi", that I am writing an early Summer issue that will be going out next month!...I apologize for not sending one recently, but you can see I was juggling quite a lot these last couple months!
    If you would like to receive my newsletter please contact me at heididevlin@gmail.com...& I will make sure to send a copy off to you!...If you love decorating, thrifting, cooking, gardening & entertaining .....I think "Living Little" is for you!
    And if there is a topic or question for me, please just ask, it may be one I include in the next newsletter!

    Wishing you all a delightful weekend!
