A little something wool

Mom and I are doing a program on working with wool for a local guild tomorrow evening and as usual decided to work up some last minute projects. I made this guy.

Wools / flannel background:
All from the stash of one Katie Zenk which has over time been collected from the Calico Hutch

Square frame:
Ready to hang art from Herberger's...took their hotel room looking art out and put my beautiful art in :) I had a challenge finding a square frame and am still in search of a smaller one...but, for now this will have to do just fine! This one was on super sale and I had a coupon too.

Enjoy the sunny day!

What a weekend!

Happy Tuesday!
So, I had huge, grand plans of accomplishing tons of stuff in the sewing zone this weekend....and then along came the creepy crud. It crept right on in and took over my life! Grrrrr!!!! However, I still managed to do this.....


Well....this I did last week for Civil War Tribute last Wednesday. I made 4 of these little buggers! I am really looking forward to seeing this quilt done. I've enjoyed the process but the excitement level is getting pretty high!





Since I wasn't feeling very well, I made all the half square triangles for the rest of my Civil War Chronicles quilt because that was mindless sewing :) I doesn't look like much in the picture but trust me....there's over 300 HST there. Now all I have left are the bazillion for the border!





I also intended to get all the sewing done for Groovy Girls on Saturday, but this stack just sat there. Tonight this is going to become 5 projects! Watch out!!!



I finished the last of the log cabin blocks and even got a couple rows together.



Plus....I spent a ton of time cleaning and organizing my sewing space...it's so nice down there I have a hard time working on stuff. For real, it's so clean and nice I just want to sit and watch movies at my sewing machine because I don't want to mess it up!!

That's all  for now, folks!

Enjoy the sunny tropical paradise we're having in S.MN!

Hope all this nice weather doesn't confuse my tulips into thinking it's time to come up!

Apples, apples, apples

It's that time of year again...you know when apples are everywhere and all you do is center your life - and your diet -  around apples.

I found this delicious recipe for Upside Down Caramel Apple Pie on the Tasty Kitchen site.

** It was easy-peasy!**

Usually I make my own crust, but I did buy the ready to use kind in the

refrigerator section at the grocery store. (by the canned biscuits)

It looked so delicious I dug right in...

Seriously.....I could have eaten the whole thing!

But, I took half of it to a friend to enjoy.

Think about it with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream...or REAL whipped cream...or both!

PS: Just as good room temp the next day as it was hot out of the oven!

Enjoy!
