Madame Curie has inspired me and this is my new favorite #quote. #perseverance #confidence #bujo #inspiration

It's #MothersDay here in the US and I'm celebrating with my favorite strawberry shortcake #recipe - straight from the original Betty Crocker #cookbook from 1950. #SoGood

And they had bread, and milk, and blackberries for supper. #BeatrixPotter #PeterRabbit

Making progress on my Blue & Gray (forgive my handwritten "typo" in the image below). I have to work faster! I've got pressing new projects to do. #quilting #quilts #goals #bujo

I'm helping host our May #DAR meeting - here are the table favors I chose. I'm so happy with them! #HostessWithTheMostest

Part of my #MemorialDay was paying tribute to Pvt. Josiah Hayward (1765 - 1844) of the Continental Army with a visit to Brainard Cemetery in Belfast, NY. Sadly, it seems no stones are left. DAR

My #grandmother Mildred (1913-1996) was clearly with me in spirit in the #antique store today. These lovely reminders of her are now part of my personal collection. #FamilyHistory

Ok #authors and #writers of Twitter - I'm seriously thinking of entering the Writing Away Refuge First Chapter contest. Is it legitimate? Helpful? Are there better ways to get a consult? Help out a #newbie with some #advice. #ImposterSyndrome #Anxiety

My 8 year old has suggested I kiss this little dude because I am a princess. Base flattery aside, I have resisted the urge to find out if Prince Charming is living in disguise in my strawberries.

YOU GUYS! I crossed the 50K word count in my #novel today. Based on my outline, I might only have another 50K to go. #RookieWriter #Benchmark #WritersOfTwitter #WritingCommmunity

It's a #Scotland sort of morning. Heather Tea from Edinburgh #Tea & Coffee Co, some work on an 1817 Scottish #sampler and a listen to one of my favorite #audiobooks - #Clanlands by Sam Heughan and .

Any #Genealogists researching #FamilyHistory in #Ecuador (specifically #Ambato)? Give me your best hints, especially if travel to Ecuador isn't an option. I can't even find birth or death years for my husband's grandparents! #ResearchHelp

Oh my heart is happy now!

If I've been noticeably absent lately, and it seems like my #WomenOfLegacy #quilt project has stalled - it's because I've been madly working on my United in Ohio blue and gray wall hanging. #SoClose #IMadeThat #HandPiecing

The #MainCharacter in my #novel is named Rabbie, short for Robert. #AutoCorrect insists it is Rabbi. This makes my novel something entirely other and I do not like it. #WriterProblems

My 8 year old: Family trees are confusing! Where's the bottom, anyway? 🤣🤣🤣 #FamilyTree #FamilyHistory #Genealogy

I'm not saying some anonymous dude #mansplained my novel to me. But he did. For the record, I #write #LitFic and some of it is semi-stream-of-consciousness - there is neither murder nor adultery in my #novel. At least I can confirm my #TargetAudience

The Patchwork Genealogist is up and running again thanks to a rather optimistic New Year's Resolution (and the completion of the first draft of my novel). Check out my welcome back post, the first installment of #52Ancestors, themed #FamilyLore. thepatchworkgenealogist.wordpress.com/2024/01/08/52-…

This week's 52 Ancestors post on Origins. Come read about my Ohio roots and a new project I'm starting this year. thepatchworkgenealogist.wordpress.com/2024/01/12/52-… #52Ancestors #Genealogy #FamilyHistory #Ohio
