I was selling my goods at a wholesale show for the past couple of days so that meant Papa was 100% in charge on Sunday (Grandma helped us out today and watched the girls…thanks!) For dinner last night, Papa took the girls on a picnic up to the lookout deck in our orchard. While they […]
Treasury Saturday – July 13th, 2009
Happy Saturday Everyone! It turned out to be quite a productive week in treasury making for me. Lots of fun as always too! The first treasury I put together I called “Artsy Nature” and I found a bunch of fabulous nature/wood inspired items. TheApple’s Wooden Disc earrings were featured in this treasury. (this made it […]
Meet Jenn from Sweet Memories Quilts!
I just adore Jenn’s etsy shop and was pleased when she agreed to do an interview for my blog. I hope you enjoy meeting her as much as I did! Tell me a little bit about your background in arts and crafts. I’ve been knitting and sewing my whole life. My Mother is a craft […]
Silver Dollar Oatmeal Pancakes
I found this recipe in the Weight Watchers Quick Fixes booklet. I tweeked it a bit so I could use different ingredients that I already had but it was still quite tasty (you have to get past the fact that they have different texture than the pancakes you’re used to but once you do…yummm) Silver […]
Themed THURSDAY – Bachelorette!
This past weekend I attended my best friend’s little sister’s bachelorette party. Now, it’s been two kids and a few years since my last bachelorette party so may still be slightly recovering from the evening…but I did have fun! So…in honor of Anne and her fabulously fun bachelorette party I went ‘shopping’ on etsy to […]

It is so ADORABLE! I put it on Capri and I couldn’t stop smiling! Cedi doesn’t look so happy that Capri is […]
I don’t Sew – Why Would I Come to the Dyeing Workshop?
One of the fabulous things about this dyeing day is that you can dye anything you want as long as it’s a cellulose fiber – cotton or rayon. My husband’s aunt is a basket weaver and we’ve dyed the reed she uses for her baskets to create some amazing effects. If you are into knitting […]
Capri’s Flannel Raggy Bullseye Quilt
I wanted to make Capri a rag quilt for her to cuddle up in. I really enjoyed making this Raggy Bullseye Quilt so I decided to do the same method (sort of) for Capri’s rag quilt. I layered the circles onto the squares of flannel…stitched them on and ragged it all. I used as many […]
The 'Uncles' Visit
On Sunday afternoon Jared’s (and my) friends John and Al stopped by our place to check out the new shed…and have a few beers… (I was abstaining…I had a bachelorette party the night before) When they first arrived the girls were napping but when Cedi woke up she wanted them to come and hange out.
