The final embroidery sampler in the Retro Kitchen Trio Collection...Time to Eat. Stitched by the wonderful Teri Anderson with threads.

Once there was a small red barn where a few pigs lived. I first remember walking inside the structure when I was about 5 years old. I wasn’t impressed. The pigs were loud and pushy; not to mention pretty smelly. However, one day, there was a very pleasant surprise: piglets. I couldn’t get enough of their cute little snouts and ears--and their curled tiny pink tails! When it came time to eat, those sweet little tails wagged like puppy tails. I was in piggy love. I never forgot that dose of cuteness and that’s how Time to Eat came to be.

All my art has a story...and Rise and Shine is no different. It's inspired by my infamous rooster, Hank, and stitched with Perle 8 threads.

Stitched by the very talented Teri Anderson.

The rhythmic motions of embroidery calm the mind, grounding us with a sense of purpose and accomplishment.

In working with my hand embroidery students, I've seen first-hand how engaging in traditional arts can yield benefits like stress relief and enhanced cognitive function. Many report a sense of purpose and accomplishment as they explore their inherent creative abilities and express their own personal narratives through stitching.

From a strawberry phase I went through a few weeks ago...I'd never stitched any before and it was fun to experiment. This kit is called "Strawberry Tea."

Happy to see one of my titles, The Great American Family Reunion Cookbook, on Familius Publishing's 6 Books to Celebrate America list today. I loved writing this book! It was an honor to interview people from across the US and discover their favorite recipes. I also got to share several stories and recipes from my own family.

You can find The Great American Family Reunion Cookbook at familius.com.
