More Quilting
I may have just finished a quilt top, but that doesn’t mean I’m planning on taking a break from my quilting. I’ve already got another (allbeit much smaller) project in the works. This one will actually be small enough that I’m hoping to attempt to machine quilt it myself, using my sewing machine. This particular…
Read MoreQuick Lemon Crispies
This recipe for a lemon cookie is great dipped in dark chocolate, or served by itself. And, because the recipe uses pudding mix for flavoring, you can easily make other flavors. If you make them small like the recipe calls for, you will get 4 dozen, but I usually end up with a little less…
Read MoreCrazy About This Top
I’m crazy about this top, quilt top that is. I’ve got what I estimate to be between 60 and 70 hours and about $20 in this quilt top. Since I used scraps for all the blocks, the only fabric I had to purchase was for the sashing. I’m trying to decide how to explain how…
Read MoreCrazy Progress
I’m super excited that I finished the center section of the crazy quilt! I’ve still got to cut the scraps off of the edges, but the hardest part is done. Once this piece is cut down it should measure 82×44-inches. And please excuse the bad photo, it’s way to big to get a decent photo…

Recently, one of my favorite restaurants, The Farmer’s Daughter had a cooking class featuring Summer Salads. The class was a lot of fun, even if I’m not usually a big fan of these types of foods. At the event, she gave us some recipes and then explained her (rather organic) process of putting them together. …

Last weekend was the 2012 Gibson County Relay for Life. I’ve been helping “Uncle” Dave DJ the event for the last several years. It’s always a great event, but this year was especially awesome. This year’s Relay raised $87,000 and a lot of fun was had doing it. The evening started with a “Celebration” flash…
Read MoreColor Week: Black & White
For this final day of color week, we’re going to be featuring black and white. I had a lot of fun with this one – mostly because I love a good black and white photograph. I did take photos of lots of things that were already white or black to begin with, but I’m super…
Read MoreColor Week: Violet
Just because it’s Saturday doesn’t mean that color week is over. Today is violet (or purple). Lacking Barney the dinosaur walking around town this one is actually a bit difficult. Fortunately, I do have a butterfly bush in my yard, so I could take a photo of that. Violet
Read MoreColor Week: Blue
It’s color week over at Pamplemousse and today’s color week challenge is Blue. Blue has been a fun and interesting challenge for me – because I wanted to find blue in nature and well as in things people have made. Blue Read the other Color Week posts: Red Orange Yellow Green
