New Sunflower Quilt and More

I haven't done a bulk update in a while. So, today, I want to do that. First, I want share the new quilt that I just finished for myself. I call it my indoor sunflower garden. 🌞 The front has big, beautiful, bright sunflowers all over it. The back has tiny sunshine printed on it. Both fabrics were purchased from Hobby Lobby, and I used 2 yards of each print. I placed polyester batting between the 2 pieces of fabric and tied them together with acrylic yarn. Afterwards, I hand stitched the binding around the quilt. This is a very easy process if you're interested in making your own hand-tied quilt.

I've also made time to update my other websites that you can find on the right side of this site. I've added new senior care advice and cinema and TV bloopers and favorite shows/movies. Please check back every Tuesday for upcoming updates to those sites. I don't update these 2 sister sites every Tuesday, but that is the day to watch for those when I do update.

I've also created new items and placed those in my Happy Home Creations 2019 (HHC2019) Etsy shop, also found on the right side of this page with my other sites. I'm going to start working on more new items to list shortly.

Just so you know, I announce all of my updates in my Simply Making Life newsletter. So, if you're interested in receiving regular, monthly updates about all of my sites, please sign up to my newsletter at the top of this page. I send out my newsletter only once a month. And I never sell or share your information with others.

Thanks for letting me share some extra stuff with you today. I hope you have a blessed and beautiful day.

Bounty Paper Towels Product Review

Today, I want to let you in on a little secret . I recently bought a new four-pack of Bounty paper towels - full sheets. I am not a select-a-size fan at all, for the record. Anyway, the newer package didn't look as thick as the last several packages I had bought over the last several years. I happened to have an older package in storage (and I actually noticed not long ago that the rolls seemed to be smaller in more recent packages, as well, based on the way they fit more loosely in my paper towel holder; not too long ago, they were very snug in my holder until I had used four or five paper towels), so I compared the two when I brought the newer package home. Lo and behold, I was correct. So, I think the decrease in sheets actually started happening gradually over the last year or so. But this time, the reduction was very noticeable. And I hope Bounty won't decrease the size anymore. As you can see in the pictures below, the older package of paper towels shows 58 sheets per r...

Finally a Few Nice Days in a Row

I've been waiting and waiting for spring temps to arrive for more than a couple of days without rain. And this is the week! We finally have some color in the yard and on our deck. So, I want to share what my husband, son, and I have been up to for the last few days. First of all, we had our first cookout on Sunday, April 28 to celebrate our younger son's birthday. That officially kicks off spring. I mixed the first batch of hummingbird nectar a couple of weeks ago, hoping the males would take advantage while the females were tending to their nests. As far as we can tell, 1 male has visited twice. Of course, we can't look out the window all of the time. But we do look out frequently. And we hang them in 2 locations that we can see directly from the kitchen windows. The rose bushes started blooming about a week ago, and I finally had time to take pictures of them. I pulled out the grass and weeds that were growing around them a couple of hours after I took the front-facing ...

Tomedes Free Transcription and Translation

Recently, as you know, I’ve transitioned from a career in transcription and data entry to one focused on generating passive income . Throughout this shift, I’ve realized that I still rely on AI transcription services for the writing component of my new business. In previous posts, I mentioned several AI transcription options, and today, I want to highlight Tomedes’ free Transcribing (up to a 10 MB video file) and Translation services. Tomedes Transcribing and Translation Services Like other free offerings, these services come with certain limitations and may incur additional charges once those limits are exceeded. However, I find their free offers to be comparable to other AI transcription and translation platforms available online. Offering free services showcases Tomedes' confidence in their products. Additionally, providing these free options helps build trust between the company and users, while also giving individuals the opportunity to explore and experience the features o...
