The Country Register Story
The Country Register began in Arizona in the fall of 1988 to provide effective and affordable advertising
for shops, shows and other experiences enjoyed by a kindred of readership. Since then, the paper has
spread to many other areas, all of which are listed below. Look for the paper in your travels. To receive a
sample paper from another area, mail $3 in the USA or $4 in Canada to that area's editor. Advertising rates
are available upon request. If there is not a paper in your state, and you are interested in publishing a paper,
contact the editor of the Arizona paper at (602) 942-8950. The Country Register is available at the shops
that advertise and often at other unique locations. We hope you enjoy this bi-monthly publication and
let the advertisers know.

Happy Spring!
It’s finally here! Even though we may have another little taste of winter
coming, signs of spring are here. Soon we’ll see the forsythia blooming,
crocus will poke through, baseball season will start, and the days will
get longer and longer. My husband is already dusting off his golf clubs!
If you’re like me it brings a smile to my face just thinking about the
approaching spring season.
Another sign of spring is the return of the shows! Just check out the list
in our Shows & Events Section on page 3. They’re back!!! Good,
quality shows that we all love - great shopping, food & fun. We’re so
lucky in Ohio; there are so many interesting things to do all over the
state. Be sure to take advantage of these wonderful activities. A tankful
of gas can take you on an awesome trip across Ohio.
Be sure to take your Country Register with you when you go out and
about . Our Secret Shopper always takes hers. In this issue (on page 19)
she tells us about her visit to Hampton Hill Mercantile in New
Middletown and Quilting B’s in Cortland. She always manages to tell us
the cutest stories about her visits to our shops. We are so grateful that
she shares her adventures and hope that you enjoy her stories as much
as we do.
We’d love to hear about some of your visits to our advertising shops drop us a line to share your experiences. While you’re at it, slip in a
copy of your favorite recipe.
The Country Register In Your Mailbox?
We Can Do That... SUBSCRIPTIONS
The Country Register is distributed as a complimentary gift from

every two months to pick up your new copy. However, for the
convenience of those who may not be able to get to a shop, we do
offer subscriptions for $18.00 per year (Continental U.S.) to cover
the cost of postage and handling.

Bonnie Young began her career as a portrait artist
and muralist. This background ingrained in her
the idea of wanting to bring art into everyday life.
“My goal is to create art that makes people pause,
smile and laugh with life.” Bonnie admits that
she wanted to be an artist from the age of five.
Her parents provided a solid foundation,
encouragement and an endless supply of
watercolors, crayons, pencils, and mountains of
paper. Now she gathers inspiration and
encouragement from her loving husband, children
and the good Lord above.
Bonnie graduated with a BA from the
University of Oregon. She went on to receive
her Master's degree in Education from the
University of South Carolina so to share her
love for art with others. After teaching for 5
years Bonnie went back to her art full time.
She divides her time between licensing her art
with Linda McDonald Inc., painting portraits,
chasing after her toddler and trying to keep up
with her teenager.

"I love being an artist. To me it means living
with life, never being too big to ask questions
and never knowing too much to learn
something new." Though Bonnie's artistic path
has wandered through many regions, she has
come to call the midwest home for more than 15 years. Bonnie resides in
the country with her family in the heart of Ohio.

Change is Good
Do you remember your parents or
maybe even your grandparents
telling you to “save for a rainy
day?” To tell you the truth, I never
really understood that saying as a
child, but I sure loved to see those
dollars and coins add up! My sister
and I would periodically dump our
piggy banks and count the
contents. It was so much fun to do
and it made us feel so “rich.” Piggy
banks have evolved over the years
and now our children often receive
plastic gift cards rather than coins
and dollar bills. This is not all bad
as gift cards can be registered and
replaced if lost, but I fear that these
plastic cards are not valued like
money that our children can
actually see and touch. Why not
start a new tradition? Keep a
family change jar and when it gets
to a certain amount, use it for a
family activity. Seeing the
connection between saving and
reward can be an incredibly
powerful lesson for all of us.

Did your candle drip wax on your
tablecloth, carpet or other surface?
To remove hardened candlewax, cover
with a brown grocery bag or several
folded up paper towels. Run a warm
iron over the paper, turning it and
changing it out as necessary until all
the wax has been removed. The iron will remelt the wax
and the paper will absorb it.
TREASURE SHOPPING
by Charlotte Hogan
Instead of Thrift shopping I prefer to go Treasure shopping. The word
'Treasure' puts a little feeling of suspense and excitement into it, and
that's exactly how I feel when I go shopping at thrift stores, yard sales,
and flea markets. I'm full of
suspense about what kind of
treasure I may find that day.
Last week my treasure was a box
of 15 used tall candles that I found
at a flea market. I did say 'used'
candles. Most of them were red. I
got the box of 15 for $2. Quite a
bargain, considering that if new,
even at a dollar store they would
have been at least $1 each.
The fact that the candles had been
used did not bother me. In my
opinion, candles have more
ambiance when they are used. The
buildup of wax is different on each
candle and gives a more country, rustic look to me, than one that has
never been used, still in the cellophane wrapper.
I hurried home, quickly looked in my cabinets and grabbed every
candleholder I could find. I found quite an assortment of glass, wood,
and metal candleholders. Most of them I had forgotten about. I put the
candles in the holders and went all through the house setting little
groups of three here and there.
Now, I am not one to burn candles throughout the house. I keep in mind
the warning, 'Never leave burning candles unattended'. I only burn
candles on the table at dinner, where I can look right at them and
remember to blow them out when dinner is finished! I tend to be
forgetful and do not want to risk burning my house down!
The candles throughout the house can still be enjoyed although they are
not burning. When I enter a room and see them I imagine how, back in
the day, candles were the only light available, and that gives me a warm
country feeling.
Happy Treasure Shopping! I would like to hear about your experiences
with 'Treasure Shopping'.

Setting My Sights
Random Acts by Maranda K. Jones
When the second grade teacher asked me to blow my whistle to signal
that recess was over for her class, I gladly did. I blew my whistle to
indicate it was time for her students to line up. Across the playground I
noticed two boys were not running for the door. As they continued to
play on the turf field, I
again blew my whistle
in their direction and
then hollered that
second grade was lining
up now. They both
answered with an ok and
went right back to
playing. I shouted once
more that recess is over
for second grade. Again,
they answered, “Okay!”
My patience was dwindling with these two boys who seemed to be
outright ignoring my directions. I began walking closer to them, and
they met me halfway on my tirade. Much to my chagrin, these two
boys were kindergarten students in MY class, no less! They asked me if
they needed to line up too or if it was just second grade going back in. I
apologized and told them to go back to their game.
A week later, with my new prescription glasses in hand, I told my class
this embarrassing story. As much as I like to lead by example, this was
not my proudest moment. My students were very understanding and
compassionate, and the two boys who were the main characters in this
tale were delighted they had helped me. They also loved that I had
mistaken them for older football players and smile when I wear my
glasses outside, no doubt replaying this highlight in their minds.
I had needed my eyes checked for months but was too proud to admit
that my eyesight was failing. One night at a high school volleyball
game, I could not see the scoreboard across the gym very well, but I
blamed it on the lighting. Then the same thing happened at a hockey
game, but the ice was so bright compared to the darkened arena. I was
visiting an unfamiliar city, trying to read road signs to my husband, but
thought it was just the placement of the signs that made them difficult
to read. After all, I could read them fine at home, where I knew where I
was going, where I knew instinctively what each one said. I started to
wonder out loud to my husband why more and more businesses were
choosing fonts for signage that were blurry and hard to read.
That comment was all it took for him to add me to the vision plan on
our insurance, make me an appointment, and help me pick out frames.
Seeing is believing! I still revel in the fact that these glasses have
restored my vision to what it once was. A simple tool that has regained
my confidence and stolen my squinty expressions has been an eyeopener, pun intended.
In what other ways would a simple tool help me regain my confidence?
Maybe a new set of pencils along with a sketch tablet would restore my
drawing habits. A crochet hook with a step by step guide might help me
produce something other than granny squares. Signing up for a quilting
class would add many skills to my collection that I have yet to acquire.
I am nearsighted no more and look forward to what my new vision may
bring.

The Perfect Time for Easter
Easter falls on April 24th this year. Although this is considered
unfashionably late by most, I think it's terrific. Easter has always
seemed like the gateway to spring for me, and a cold, wet, early
Easter is not conducive to the gorgeous arrival of spring! Easter
baskets filled with summer clothing and pool toys (and of course the
requisite peanut butter eggs) are what I look forward to each year.
With the late date this year, chances are good that an outside Easter
egg hunt would be a smashing success (no pun intended) with
sunny skies and warm temperatures. This could be a neighborhood
event, a Church event or even a community event. Fill plastic eggs
with candy and small trinkets and hide them in obvious and not so
obvious places. Children of all ages will love to hunt for them and
chances are they will play this game over and over long after the
treasures inside are forgotten. 2011©Susan Tipsord

senior center to find out if they have educational seminars on

to help you get started using your new item. For example, my

“Oh you can kiss me on a Monday, a Monday… never on a Sunday, 'cause that's my day
of rest.”
Last Sunday morning, I took a break from writing in my little office, stretched my neck
and shoulders as I trundled down the hallway to the kitchen for coffee and happened to
glance out the front window. Our beautiful berry tree flaunted hundreds of cedar
waxwings, joyfully flitting from one branch to another in perfect unison. If I hadn't, at
some point, made the decision to rise from my computer once per hour, I would have
missed that glorious blink-of-an-eye event.
Open Wed-Fri 10-5, Sat 10-3
Nature is such an inspiration, but only if we stop what we're driven to do and watch.
Listen. Think. Imagine.
When did our weeks start to flit by in a blur? Sometime between 1960 and today,
Sunday's have disappeared from our lifestyles. Gone are the smooth and sultry
pleasures of simply hanging out to enjoy birds singing and ants hauling treasures across
the patio. We had no ulterior lifestyle motives 50 years ago, no reason to drive to the
mall to purchase fertilizer “right now”, or to replace our rusted garden scissors with a
much advertised gadget or two. Sunday was Sunday - not a shopping day, a work day, a
facebook day, a drive-kids-to-activity day. None of those. Wherever did Sunday go?
Time for a Change: Join The Crusade
Inspired by my little bird aha moment, this is what I'm pondering, and I am inviting
you to join me. Let's start a personal “Sunday Crusade” to take back The Day.
Crusade, you ask?
Crusade, the word, is derived from “Crux”, meaning a religious cross made of fabric
which was worn during a variety of expeditions in the Middle Ages. These soldiers
vowed to fight against tyranny for Christian Unity.
New
Shop
Fitting, isn't it? Today we are fighting the tyranny of technology, the drain of too
many duties, and the imbalance of time spent versus time enjoyed, without a single
day to call “time out”. I am hereby leading the Crusade charge to halt the busy-ness for
one day of the week (unless it's critical to keep on chugging along with duties and
details).
My Crusade Strategy
On Sundays, I shall ignore the car. I shall walk. I shall do my errands on Tuesdays, the
most productive day of the week! I shall not even fondle the car keys, or open the trunk
of my vehicle. But, I will buy a new pair of sneakers, virgin white! - for my marches
into town. Perhaps I will also find a great matching neon jacket, a helmet-like hat and a
new pair of gloves. And wear a cross. Yes, I will shop on Tuesday.

Sidebar (I'm thinking…): Yes, this is good for the environment; no carbon footprint on
one day of the week. This could start a movement: our neighbours will be so impressed,
that every car on this street will be parked sweetly in the garage, and no traffic will pass
my house. Lovely for the global good!
I shall not scribble or imagine an agenda, so that whatever happens to bubble up in my
head can translate into the relaxation that I need. I won't even think about a to-do list;
post it notes will forever be erased from my Sunday-mind.
Sidebar: The Little Guy in the Attic is talking incessantly now. He's the one who says,
“Are you kidding? You always have a plan, and even on your rare days off you are still
up at 6 am and on the computer by 6:15! Get real. A day with no to-do list just isn't
who you are!” Perhaps it's time to ask that Little Guy in the Attic to move out, or spend
Sundays in someone else's brain. Yes, I know I can do this. It's part of my new plan
(“sure it is, cutie pie”).
On Sunday, I shall not take vitamins. I will give my body a pill break, letting all of
those enzymes flow through my system in a natural escape rhythm. I will not eat junk
food or drink sodas. Every Sunday, my body will be pure.
Sidebar: “Since when did you remember to take vitamins every day, anyway?” asks the
Little Guy in the Attic. True as that may be, Sunday should be easy on my body as well
as my soul. I will be purer than I've ever been before, 52 times a year.
Can you guess when I am writing this? You are right: Sunday morning at 6:30 a.m. I
have good intentions, and I can see you nodding at me while you are reading. Despite
what the Little Guy in the Attic is saying to me, I will start the Crusade as soon as I hit
the “send” button to my Editor. Then it's off to the leather chair to finish that best seller
I started last summer. I will pop three lovely chickens soaked with garlic and lemons to
roast for an easy family dinner. I will spend an extra 5 minutes in the tub to sing “Never
on a Sunday”. And finally, I will draw an “x” through every Sunday in my day-timer,
just as a reminder that I really WILL take one day off a week. Sounds like a plan? (See
point #2.)

Spring is Coming! Spring is Coming!
Decorating with Pat by Pat Dempsey
Does that sound like I am trying to convince myself that spring IS
coming? With the winter we have just had, I think you might be right.
The seasons do come and go and spring is one we will all be ready for
this year!
What is the first thought that comes to your mind
when you mention this season? If you are a woman
and reading this, it is probably "Spring Cleaning."
Yes, after a long hard winter, we can't wait to get to
that task, which often seems so daunting. Winter has
passed and now it is time to be energized and
refreshed as spring arrives. Actually shining up the
windows and mirrors and letting the sun shine in is
often the best thing we can do in relation to the
decorating process for spring.
As spring arrives just about everyone is so-o-o-o
ready for that sunshine, flowers, and those wonderful
soft colors that herald spring. So keep that in mind as
you think of ways you can change up your home for
the spring. Here are a few things that may inspire you to get ready for
spring.
Flowers, think spring with flowers, flowers everywhere. From pillows,
prints, curtains, lamp shades, throws, & rugs you can add a pop of
spring to any room in your house.
Bring the outdoors in. How about a piece of white lattice work hung on a
wall as the focal point. Maybe even add a potted houseplant below to
really draw the outdoor look inside.
Curtains--why not take them down for the season? Maybe use a swag or
topper for a different look. By removing the curtains a lot of light will
come in and make your room brighter.
Use a stencil or vinyl cling around a doorway or
window for a different look. These can be easily
changed or painted over with the seasons. You
might even want to add one to a mirror. Don't
forget about your entryway or porch. This will be
the first area that both you and your guests will
see as the come for a visit. So get rid of those
snow shovels and ice melt. Replace them with
potted plants, how about a small step stool for a
planter stand at the front door? You could paint it
a fun whimsical color. Hang or display a
decorative flag.
Do I have your creative juices running? Great!
You will find many more wonderful ideas at your favorite shops in the
Country Register. Walk through their stores and use one of their great
creative display ideas. Most can be translated into your own home décor.
As the dreary, snow days of winter leave us, decorating for spring is a
great way to welcome in the new season.
Try bringing in some color by painting an accent wall. It will lighten up For more decorating ideas and past articles on decorating you can also check my blog at
http://homeconnection-decoratingwithpat.blogspot.com/
and brighten up your space.

Love to Share -Health to Spare Friends That Care
- Lynchburg - Wilmington KNIT GREEN!
by Sharon Greve
Novelty yarns from edible sources are becoming plentiful and popular.
They are eco-friendly as all sources are biodegradable. Some are made
from manufacturing by-products that would otherwise be in the waste
pile. Others come from fast growing plants that are quickly replaced-renewable source. Each is unique, offering varied qualities to knitters.

Most desirable yarns are regenerated from the plant matter cellulose,
meaning starches or sugars part of the raw plant material are broken down
and extruded into fibers which are then spun into yarn. Rayon is a
commonly known regenerated fiber made from wood pulp. These yarns
share several properties: overall, they have excellent sheen, drape, and
create wrinkle-resistant fabrics. They tend to be fragile when wet
requiring gentle washing and laid flat to dry, unlike hemp, flax, and many
cottons that are machine washable. They wick moisture away from the
body, making them cool to wear in hot weather. They are less elastic than
wool and lack memory, so garments knit from them will retain their shape
better when knit at a tighter gauge.
Fortunately for knitters, naturally high-tech cellulosic yarns are available
in a wide variety of blends, constructions, and colors, so knitting green
doesnt mean compromising quality.
Bamboo. Its silky, shiny, cool against the skin, and has beautiful shape.
Care is hand wash and dry flat. Yarn is regenerated from raw bamboo
pulp and has antibacterial properties. It grows like a weed which makes it
one of the most highly renewable plant sources.
Banana. Derived from the course leaves and fine shoots of the banana
plant, these fibers have been used for centuries in Japan from tablecloths
to fine kimonos. Banana yarn for garments was historically made from the
softest fibers but is currently most often regenerated from the plants
sugars. It is quite sleek and lustrous.
Chitin. Derived from shells of crustaceans such as shrimp, crab, and
lobster. Its antibacterial and antimicrobial qualities have made it an
important component in medical products. Blended with one or more
additional fibers, chitin needs only to make up a small proportion of the
yarn in order to lend its beneficial characteristics.
Corn. Made from the abundant starch of the corn plant, corn yarns range
from having a fairly matte finish to having remarkable sheen. Sharing
most properties of other regenerated yarns, corn yarns can, however, be
machine washed and dried. Corn fibers resist ultraviolet rays.

Lenpur. Made from wood pulp from sustainable sources with thermo
regulating properties to help keep you comfortable.
Milk. Derived from the proteins in skim milk. Often-blended with cotton,
yarns including this fiber are creamy to the touch and have a low sheen.
Pineapple. Strong and stiff, pineapple yarns are perfect for home décor
items as mats, placemats, and vessels. The yarn is made from fibers
pulled from the leaves of the pineapple plant. This yarn is stiff so take
frequent work breaks if your hands or wrists feel sore.
Seaweed. Yarns containing seaweed-derived fiber are claimed to infuse
your skin with a variety of vitamins and minerals. Seaweed yarn is
naturally anti-inflammatory, extremely soft, and bears the mildest pleasant
scent of the sea.
Soy. First developed in the 1930s and heralded by Henry Ford, soy yarns
are manufactured from the by-product of tofu production. Although it is
derived from a plant, soy fiber is made from the proteins in the beans,
making it a protein-based (rather than cellulose-based) fiber. Soy yarns
are durable, soft, and versatile. Care is hand wash and dry flat.
SeaCell. A new fiber made from seaweed and wood pulp. In addition to
its pleasant earthly aroma, it is an antimicrobial and can help soothe skin
inflammation. Researchers at Austrias Joanneum Research rated Tencel
with a sleeping quality index similar to that of cottons or 61% better than
that of polyester.

- Hillsboro Are You Smarter than a Smart Phone?
Back Porch Break by Nancy Parker Brummett
Years ago, let's say it was in the 70's or 80's, some people were
convinced that the Japanese, having lost World War II, were launching a
more clandestine attack against
our nation. Their strategy, these
people surmised, was to
manufacture and sell
complicated electronic
components like remote-control
televisions and VCRs to
consumers in the U.S. As a
result, more than one emptynester parent had to call a child
at college and ask, “How do I
program this dang thing to record
the game?”

As if making us feel helpless and stupid wasn't damaging enough to our
egos and our society, the advent of the remote control also threatened to
undermine our physical conditioning, turning us into a nation of couch
potatoes who didn't even have to get up to change channels. Granted,
walking over to the TV to change channels wasn't the equivalent of
working out with Jane Fonda or Richard Simmons, but it was
something!
Fast forward to 2011. Those same empty-nesters have mastered the
remote control and the VCR. They've even mastered the TiVO, the DVR
and the MP-3 player, for Pete's sake. But before they can get too smug,
along comes the smart phone.
Recently my husband and I decided we had procrastinated long enough.
If we were ever going to communicate with our teen-aged grandkids
again, we had to start texting. Also, my cell phone couldn't be charged
anymore because, according to the guy at the phone store, “There's
something inside there.” I'd like to blame a grandchild with a penchant
for stuffing Cheerios into small places, but more than likely it was a
piece of an old breath mint from the bottom of my purse. Anyway, I
turned in my “vintage” phone, as did my husband, and we ventured into
the smart phone world.
The twenty-something techno wizard who helped us was, gratefully,
very knowledgeable about the phones and the billing options available.
For a young person he also had an amazing ability to keep a straight
face! He didn't laugh when we handed over our old phones, and he never
even snickered when we tried to call one another on our new phones and
neither one of us knew how to answer! A smart-alecky customer in the
store was rolling on the floor laughing, but our techno wizard remained
absolutely stone-faced.
Soon we were both obsessed with trying to figure out what the new
phones could do. Twenty-four hours after the purchase I was ready to
give up and turn my phone in for a Barbie model with large push
buttons. Forty-eight hours after the purchase I couldn't imagine how I'd
ever gotten along without my smart phone, even if it would always be
smarter than I am! To increase my comfort level, I chose the “old
phone” ring tone that sounds exactly like the black rotary phone we had
growing upthe one with the long cord that made it possible for my
sisters and me to talk to our boyfriends in complete “privacy mode” in
the closet under the stairs.
I've decided that technology is going to keep us baby boomers sharpwitted and young. Never mind crossword puzzles, sudoku, and bridge.
New brain synapses will be formed with each new gadget we bring into
our lives. And when we need a flashlight in the middle of the night we
can just grab our smart phones. There's an app for that!

It's Party Time with Lesley
by Lesley R. Nuttall
Although it's chilly outside as I write this, I'm sitting here enjoying the warmth of the
fireplace, and pondering what exciting events will take place this spring. Now is a good
time to start thinking about planning your spring party for March or your Easter party for
April.
For your spring party, be sure to take advantage of the beautiful spring flowers and use
them as your table centrepiece, or just place some in vases randomly around your dining
room. If you are planning your party around St. Patrick's Day, you will have many
choices for your invitations, decorations and even the food. Just think green!
The traditional Easter celebration is a wonderful time to bring family or friends together.
Send out your invitations early so guests have time to make plans to attend. You can plan
and work on your decorating ideas weeks before your party. You could decorate with
plush bunnies or chicks, or have drawings of them drawn by children in the family. Pastel
pictures of decorated eggs, or balloons hanging, will make the room look festive.
Your menu might include the traditional Honey Baked Ham, and vegetables of carrots
and green beans along with a potato dish would enhance the dinner plate. Of course, you
could add deviled eggs, pickles, and your own special dish too.
If children will be attending, they would probably love a little Easter hunt. You could
package little bags of jelly beans or Easter eggs to hide. Or have some hard boiled eggs
for the children to paint, and use them as your table centrepiece. If the children are
young, have some Easter coloring sheets for them to color. Children like to be busy, and
this would keep them occupied for awhile, giving the adults time to visit. Maybe you
could rent an Easter bunny costume and surprise the children as the bunny hands out
treats from its basket.
Coordination will be the key for your entire party. Make your party extra special by using
your prettiest tablecloth and napkins, and bring out the good china! Be creative!
When planning your menu, keep color and food texture in mind. Food always tastes
better when it is attractively served! Try not to have food all one color, or all soft items,
or all crunchy food at one meal.
Start your preparation the day before by peeling and chopping the vegetables. They can
be placed in the refrigerator in a container of water. Ready your serving dishes, china,
tablecloth, napkins, silverware and anything else that can be done ahead. Try to be as
organized as you can, as this makes everything seem like a breeze on party day!
Keep in mind, the joy of the day is the love you will share with your family or friends.
This will be a time to indulge and make new and special memories! Enjoy!
Deviled Easter Eggs:
6 7 eggs, hard boiled, cooled
10 ML (2 tsp) mustard
45 ML (3 tbsp) mayo (or miracle whip,) enough to moisten
30 ML (2 tbsp) each, (your choice) celery, onion or chives
Salt and Pepper to taste
Paprika (if desired)
Packet of Splenda (optional)
Older eggs are best, so keep refrigerated for a week Place eggs in cold water, bring to a
slow boil and simmer 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit covered for another 10
minutes. Then place in cold water. To peel, gently crack and then roll the egg gently back
and forth in your hands. When peeled, wash, dry and cut lengthwise with a clean sharp
knife. Wipe the knife after each cut. Remove the yolk very gently and place in a bowl.
Mash the yolks, add ingredients and blend until creamy. Refill each egg white with
mixture, mounding. Sprinkle with paprika. Refrigerate until serving time.
I always add a packet of Splenda to the mixture as I find takes away the bitter taste, but
this is optional.
Honey Mustard Sauce (for Ham)
250 ML (1 cup) Mayo (or Miracle Whip)
50 ML (1/4 cup) liquid honey or 2 packets Splenda
50 ML (1/4 cup) prepared mustard
Mix ingredients together and blend with a blender until smooth and creamy. Chill for
several hours before serving.

Now that the weather is cooperating in
much of the country, many of our readers
are starting to think about the prospect of garden
fresh vegetables on the table. What better way
to do that than grow your own? It's good to
know where your food is coming from and it's
rewarding to know that you were able to help
produce it. Fresh vegetables for salads or hot
off the grill, these little gems are good for you
and fun to grow, too. If you prefer not to plant a
traditional garden, try a container garden this
year. Any container with adequate room for root
growth and drainage holes will work well. Add
some gravel to the bottom of your container, fill
with some synthetic (non-soil) mix and your
container is ready. Your local nursery or garden
center will have some vegetable plants you can
easily transfer to your containers. Remember
that vegetables do best in full sunlight so find
your containers a nice sunny spot on the patio, a
window sill, or even a doorstep. Most
importantly - plant what you like and eat what
you grow! 2011©Susan Tipsord

We All Need A Good Laugh
Everyone loves a good April Fool's joke, adults and children
alike. April 1st is the one day of the year when everyone gets
to be a prankster AND get away with it. Just make sure your
April Fool's joke is funny, doesn't hurt anyone, and most of all,
doesn't backfire! Here's one of my favorites: Put a good size
piece of magnetic tape on a coffee cup and put the cup on top
of your car, like you put it there while getting in and then forgot
it. While driving, wave back to the people who are waving
frantically at you to let you know you forgot your coffee! And of
course, kids can't be left out of this fun holiday; try this one on
them. Tell them you're having a special dinner and serve
meatloaf cupcakes with mashed potato frosting. Then for
dessert, give them strategically shaped brownies with red icing
(like meatloaf with ketchup on top). Laugh every day - it's good
for you! 2011©Susan Tipsord
Painting tips:
#1 - Use a hammer and nail to make
several holes in the groove around the
top of your paint can before pouring.
The extra paint will drain back into
the can instead of dripping down the
sides. #2 - If you
can’t finish your paint job in one
session, put your brushes and rollers
in a plastic grocery bag or zip-lock
bag and place it in the freezer
overnight. Let set out at least half an
hour before returning to your
painting.

It's Never Too Late
Piecing Life Together by Barbara Polston
What did you want to be when you grew up? My selections were varied, from elementary school teacher, to medical lab technician, to professional
musician. I never became any of those things. I never dreamed of being a writer. Even further from my young imagination was “quilter.”
Just over a year ago, my oldest daughter decided to return to school to complete her bachelor's degree. She was accepted into an impressive
university on the East Coast. Equally impressive are the costs of going there, but she seems to be managing both her academics and the rest of her life
well. While it will take her several more years to complete her degree, she's determined to be a graduate of this well-respected institution. She's doing
all this without seeking any financial support from the family; she's doing it all on her own. By the time she graduates, she will be over 30 years old.
To hear my mother discuss this, you would think my daughter's actions are far from admirable. Mom is sure that she's too old to ever make anything
of herself. She should stop “living the dream,” settle down, and get some mundane job. Oh, and it wouldn't hurt for her to get married and have a
family, either.
So, when is it too late? I earned my bachelor's degree at age 32, my master's at age 42. I wrote and won my first grant at age 45 and opened my grant
consulting practice when I was 51. I sold my first quilt-related article for publication at age 54.
I received my first ribbon recognition in a quilt show at age 46. The quilt was made in partnership with my mother, who also received a ribbon. She
was 75 years old at the time. On the way home from the quilt show, she wanted to hold her ribbon. She was very quiet. When I asked her if she was
all right, she replied, “This is the first time in my life that I've ever won anything.”
Anna Mary Robertson Moses was born in 1860. At age 88, Mademoiselle magazine named her “Young Woman of the Year.” In 1950 (yes, she was
90 years old) the National Press Club cited her as one of the five most newsworthy women. She painted scenes of rural life, abandoning embroidery
because of arthritis. On her 100th birthday, Nelson Rockefeller, New York Governor, proclaimed a day in her honor. You would probably recognize
Anna Mary Robertson Moses by her more common name, Grandma Moses. She passed away in 1961.
So, I ask again, when is it too late? Is age, like dress size, just a number? No matter what our age, isn't it the striving towards a goal that, in part,
makes living life worth while? Maybe the goal is to earn a degree, or write a book, or win a Best of Show award.
Next month, I will be the keynote speaker at an event. I've been asked to talk about finding your niche in the quilt industry. I'm wondering how many
of the people in the room will raise their hands when I ask how many wanted to be “professional quilters” when they were children. I'm guessing
none! The title of my talk? A quote from George Eliot, “It's never too late to be what you might have been.”

National Quilting Day
March 19, 2011
National Quilting Day was established in
1991 by the National Quilting Association.
Officially, National Quilting Day is the third
Saturday in March. Unofficially, the
celebration has expanded to the entire month.
The purpose of the day is to continue the
tradition of quilting through education and
service. Quilt shops, fabric stores and local
guilds host a variety of events and classes
throughout the month to expand the
knowledge of existing quilters
and draw a new generation
into the craft.

March is the perfect time (in Ohio) to
force branches. They will quickly
burst into bloom when brought inside.
Forsythia, crabapple and redbud are a
few of the easiest to force. It’s easy just cut 12-24” long branches, bring
inside and place in a vase of water.
Keep out of direct sunlight and wait a
few days for an awesome show! Water should be
changed every few days to keep it fresh and help extend
the life of the blooms.

- Hudson - Louisville - Warren The Eating 'o the Green
St. Patrick's Day, always on March 17th, is a fun
holiday to celebrate and even if you're not one bit Irish,
everyone is a little Irish on this day! One tradition is the
wearing of the green. Legend has it that if you don't
wear green on St. Patrick's Day, the leprechauns will
pinch you. Now, I'm not one to mess with tradition, but
green really isn't my color! I do want to keep the
leprechauns happy, though, so I think we'll be
celebrating with the eating of the green! Traditionally,
corned beef, cabbage and potatoes are served on
this holiday so try this yummy green salad (below) to
sweeten up your St. Patrick's Day celebration.
Guaranteed to keep the leprechauns away!

From the Journal of the
Country Register
Secret Shopper!
Dear Country Register Readers,
With my Country Register in hand I
decided take in some country treats. A drive
in the country can really lift one's spirits so
that was the plan.
?
My first stop was Hampton Hill Mercantile. What a great store for the
country and primitive antique décor lover. This shop is in the heart of
New Middleton and was just right for that fix I so needed since winter
had set in. The building itself is such a treat; it's an old church with high
tin ceilings and a very old wooden floor. It makes a wonderful setting
for all of the old cupboards filled with primitive country antiques,
candles, dolls and my favorite small bunnies made from old candy
molds that were covered in cinnamon. They have lots of crocheted items
from small coasters, table pieces, chair seats and small rugs made by
Dolly right there in New Middleton. Her choice of fabrics was really
nice and would look great in a country primitive home. Wooden signs,
old quilt pieces, baskets and florals are all around the store. I can tell
this shop would be a treat no matter what season you might stop.

I then drove north on my trip in Eastern Ohio to Cortland to the new
Quilting B's full service quilt shop. Mary Ann was so nice and the
atmosphere there is both warm and welcoming. If you love fabric like I
do and especially Civil War reproduction fabric then you will really
enjoy this shop. Mary Ann has a great selection of these quality fabrics
by Jo Morton, quilting patterns, and Jim Shore figures with designs
influenced by his grandmother's love of quilts. Quilting B's offers
classes and a quilting machine ready to finish your quilting projects.
The old house is the perfect setting for the Quilting B's home and you
will love all of her fabric selection and gift items.
I am glad I found both shops and plan to return soon to see what new
things they will be stocking. It really was a fun afternoon and on the
way home I saw that the weeping willows are starting to change color
and the birds were singing what my grandmother always said were their
Spring songs so Spring isn't too far away. Be sure to take your Country
Register out for a spin and visit one of the wonderful shops you will
find there and tell them that the Country Register sent you!
