Adorable Apron Pattern

We had a great weekend this past weekend.  It was our 4th of July celebration weekend, and my Aunt and Uncle came into town.  We had a fish fry Saturday night at my parents house with a whole bunch of family.  Family dinners are one of my favorite activities. 
I would think that a fish fry [...]

Lasagna Idea

The other night I made these lasagna roll-ups, and they were really good.  And I thought they looked really pretty.  This top picture is before I baked them.  You can use whatever lasagna recipe that you like, I’d imagine.  Instead of laying everything flat in the pan, pour the sauce in the bottom of the [...]

Flea Finds Again

Looking through my pictures, I realized I never put up what I found at the flea market this month.  I couldn’t get great pictures of the whole item, but here’s some peeks.  I’ll try to do better with the pictures soon.  I never know what I can’t live without until I get to the flea [...]

Applique Overload

So I’m finally finished appliqueing the Washington Cherry Wreath quilt.  Actually, I finished the applique a couple of weeks ago, I’m just behind on putting up these pictures.  It was a big job.  I think I picked something a little challenging for my very first applique.  But, it’s done.  I appliqued for about 4-6 hours [...]

Thanks Mr. Postman

The second are these gorgeous tatted linen handkercheifs.  So pretty!!  I love my deliveries.  Thanks Mr. Postman!

Yummy Chocolate Cake

So the Father’s Day Black Forest Cake was a big hit, and I wanted to pass on the recipe.  I will rarely put recipes up here, but I thought this one was worth it.  I’m just putting the part for the cake itself.  I did make mine into black forest, but this is a good [...]

Need some advice, pretty plllllllease

As I’m making a black forest cake for Father’s Day tomorrow, I’d thought I’d post a quick one.  Maybe I’ll try to take a fancy food shot of it when it’s done.  If it’s food shot worthy.  :)  So I made the mistake of flipping through my old scrapbooks the other day.  Big mistake.  Because now, [...]

Last, and becoming least

Happy Friday the 13th!!!!!
On our last full day there, I got to see 3 more quilt shops, in the rain.  The first was…

You can tell it was raining.  But it was bright and colorful inside.  This was a good sized shop that had lots of really great stuff and a really good variety.  They had [...]
