I think I've found a new favorite cookie! This recipe is based on a chocolate sheet cake....some may call it a Texas sheet cake....to me it's simply a chocolate sheet cake. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The recipe I have for a Texas sheet cake is a white cake with almond flavoring....which I'd just about bet would be great as a cookie, too!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is one of those recipe videos that floats through social media and I finally got around to giving it a whirl.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ok....on to the recipe....</div>

Wow! I didn't realize it's been a month since I last posted. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is a dreary rainy day here in my little corner of the world and I have</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a sort-of unexpected day off so I decided to get out the mixer and make up a few goodies and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought I'd share the recipes over the next few days.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This first one though I made over Easter weekend for a family gathering.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When making something new for a gathering I end up bringing home half of it because it's different.....not what they know they already like. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This time? No leftovers! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is basically a pecan pie filling poured and baked over a bunch of bread chunks instead of in a crust!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I normally make my pecan pie using both white and brown sugar and that is what I used when making this but I think next time I make it it will be with white only.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I found the recipe on pinterest and pretty much went by that but I'm going to share how I intend to make it the next go round.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Even if you don't like bread pudding but you like pecan pie....you will love this!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u><span style="font-size: large;">PECAN PIE BREAD PUDDING</span></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
8 cups bread cubes (day old french bread would be a good one)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3 eggs</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 cup white syrup</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/2 cup ganulated sugar</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 tsp vanilla</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3 Tbsp. melted butter, allow it to cool.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

1 tsp. cinnamon</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3/4 chopped pecans</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Prepare a 9"x 9" baking pan by lining the bottom with a square of parchment paper then spray sides with non-stick baking spray.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cube the bread and set aside in a large mixing bowl.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In another bowl slightly beat the eggs,,,,,add syrup, sugar, vanilla, and stir to combine. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Stir in the melted butter, salt, cinnamon and pecans.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pour the syrup mixture over the bread cubes and gently stir to coat.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let it rest for a bit to let the mixture soak in.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Serve warm or room temperature and top with this super easy and tasty caramel sauce!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Caramel Sauce</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 cup brown sugar</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/3 cup heavy cream</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 tsp vanilla</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Melt butter, brown sugar and cream over medium heat.....bring to a boil and let boil just a couple minutes.....Remove from heat and add vanilla. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Good morning, my friends! I hope you all are off to a fantastic day!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After spending nearly two weeks either in bed, on the sofa or in the recliner I finally started feeling human again!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't know about you but when I can't function all I can do is think about all the things that aren't getting done and I just can't wait until I feel better so I can get busy! So this past Monday and Tuesday I had "off" from keeping from grandson and from my Tuesday job at the Mercantile so I done some much needed cleaning and clearing out in my sewing room, gathered finished and collected items and got them tagged and booth ready.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So off to In K-Hoots I went and gave my booth the attention it desperately needed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I dug out a little sign that I used many moons ago, gave it a little updating and hung it above my space and gave a little homespun touch to the background.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I also decided to merge my Oakley Brooke items with the Cindy's Homespun items.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
yes, they're different but they are all made by ME! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And it just simplifies things.....</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Most area churches have cancelled Sunday services. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I spent today doing a few chores and some baking and have chili going in the crockpot for supper. Tomorrow I plan on spending another day indoors....maybe I'll get to taking down the Christmas trees and decor. Maybe. As for the rest of today, I think I'll go close myself in my sewing room.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Have a blessed day......C.</div>

Just a few of them.....I think most of these shown have been sold...either ordered or simply sold via my booth at a local shop....and I can tell you more about that in a later post.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Most of my aprons are of the same style.....it's simply the fabric and sometimes a little embellishment of some sort that change the look ....all of them are fully lined....not so much for making it reversible but for durability.....I make them to be worn....to be used as aprons should be.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let me know if you'd like one for yourself....or for your little kitchen helper! My 7 year old granddaughter still loves the ones I've made her!</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I went back to ebay.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has been SO long since I had listed or bought anything off ebay that I could not get logged in with what info I had so I just had to create a new account....Yea! Cause that's always fun, right!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since last listing on ebay I have found that they have become much more user friendly.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I discovered while listing my one small item this morning that there is a free listing promotion going on....for up to 50 items! Now that's some motivation to get sorting through things in the supply closet. So, hopefully over the next few days I can get a few more things listed. No telling what you might find in my listings.....things from my supply closet, the pantry, finishes that have been on the shelf too long or things from my closet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
....so check back often!<br />
<br /></div>

Today I'm sharing a project from last fall. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of all the sewing I've done in the past 30+ years I'd never made a T-shirt quilt. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, here is my first!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUfSiFwZlEvvWQIxuRod6NeVNz_RDbSuvhnZNcgh_bANBN1BC4hkVic5GeexAWpJHPqRUVxKZsurJYkf4Zfejq8kwidC7KrCyYsQbgkZK6SBqCu-l6CGJ7qtBR8aSEuq-sHts2A6TnbZzN/s1600/Reid1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUfSiFwZlEvvWQIxuRod6NeVNz_RDbSuvhnZNcgh_bANBN1BC4hkVic5GeexAWpJHPqRUVxKZsurJYkf4Zfejq8kwidC7KrCyYsQbgkZK6SBqCu-l6CGJ7qtBR8aSEuq-sHts2A6TnbZzN/s320/Reid1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes, it is a smaller, more of a throw size but it was a good size to start with and a good learning experience. I understand that there are lots more t-shirts for at least two large quilts. <br />
Could this possibly be a new venture? <br />
We shall see.<br />
I hope you are having a fabulous day!<br />
<br />
<br /></div>

..... crocheted baby afghan. I started this several weeks ago while on a short over-night trip to see our nephew in the hospital. I've gotten a little further along....I pretty much work on it during the day while Callen is napping or playing or while I watch television of an evening. Needless to say, it's not getting done too quickly!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I learned how to crochet many moons ago learning simple dishcloths and hotpads to doilies and larger afghans. That eventually got set aside as I got involved in sew many other things.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Over the past few years I REALLY wanted to pick it up again and I did but couldn't get past dishcloths. Each time I would get that itch and walk through the yarn aisles at the store I would get completely overwhelmed with the selection.....what will I make and how much yarn will I need?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So finally, I done some (free) pattern searching for simple yet needful things and began to crochet again. I am still crocheting dishloths, for my own use as well as selling (watch for them in my etsy shoppe soon). I've made hats, scarves and cowls of which I've donated and gifted. But I really enjoy making the baby afghans that I will place in my gift closet until one is needed. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So.....that is one thing I'm working on....what is in your work basket?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Enjoy your day!</div>

I don't know why I can't keep up with blogging. However, it's just been since last fall....not like a year or two break as I have done before.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wonder sometimes with having facebook and instagram if there is really a need for me to blog and I think about shutting the whole thing down then something draws me back. Not everyone on my facebook wants to hear or read about everything that is going on in my little corner of the world but for those who are interested can simply be directed here.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We've had alot go on in the past several months. And this little man right here is the greatest blessing!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Meet Callen Oakley born on December 27th. He adores his big sister, Rylee Brooke and she adores him!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And I get the honor of taking care of him just as I did Rylee. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
LOTS of great adventures are in my future!</div>

A few weeks ago I shared the beginnings of a baby quilt....well, between ripping up carpet and repainting the living room, I've managed to get this cute little number hand quilted and the binding sewn on. While I am pleased with the outcome, I do need to work on the evenness of my quilting stitches. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I found this recipe on pinterest some time back and I've made it a couple of times now. This time I changed it up a bit...just in the frosting part...I've included the pinterest link below the recipe.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I know. Who eats soup in the middle of a Missouri summer? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I do.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The older I get the more my taste buds change. Over the past several years I've come to like a number of foods. Peas are still not a favorite and I probably will never like mixed vegetables or vegetable soup. For years, I've heard people talk about taco soup and one day I decided to gather recipes. The first time I made it I used the ground beef as the recipe called. After making it a couple times and making a few changes to a combination of recipes, I think I have arrived at a recipe that I can kinda claim as my own......</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAE5owbtCnzjU8-pawD3XMqCTyzkQmgUD2HBd6HwWjVvpSehgbFquyvnoWC9vBQTfClkZWP_ctsIvQsLcsT7FtMkNzZGySfYhwDxM8DFwsgAyy4H4e-EnM69IHQCp_-f2ZYRtR5fPlRUoC/s1600/taco+soup.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="222" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAE5owbtCnzjU8-pawD3XMqCTyzkQmgUD2HBd6HwWjVvpSehgbFquyvnoWC9vBQTfClkZWP_ctsIvQsLcsT7FtMkNzZGySfYhwDxM8DFwsgAyy4H4e-EnM69IHQCp_-f2ZYRtR5fPlRUoC/s320/taco+soup.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u><b>TACO SOUP</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 boneless skinless chicken breast,<b> cooked</b> and <b>shredded/chopped</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 cans black beans (do <b>not </b>drain)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 can corn,<b> drained</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 large onion,<b> chopped</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 can ro-tel tomatoes with green chilies </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 pkg taco seasoning mix</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 pkg ranch dressing mix</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1-1/2 cups broth from the chicken</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Combine all ingredients in the crock pot....you see that I have mine lined with a *Reynolds Slow Cooker liner. (These can be found at Wal-Mart with the wax paper, saran, etc...)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let cook on <b>low </b>4-6 hours.....or all day....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Precook your chicken as you prepare supper, just remember to reserve a bit of your chicken broth.....chop your onion.....toss it all in the crock pot the next morning....let it cook all day and supper is ready when you get home!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A few things on the side.....shredded cheese, sour cream!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>ENJOY!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Remember these? The fat quarter bundle that I just couldn't resist buying while waiting for interfacing to be cut. And as it turned out, once I got started with a plan, I had to go back and buy another bundle to have enough...</div>

I recently went through an old dresser that was taking up space in the garage. It held an assortment of things.....from old papers to apparently, unfinished counted cross-stitch projects. This is from *Homestead Classics Cross Stitch Collectibles*....the November 1989 issue! I stitched one for my mother-in-law then decided I wanted one for myself. As you can see I got a great start on it...actually closer to being finished than just beginning... then for whatever reason it got set aside, packed away, moved and misplaced. I was so glad to find it once again. I have had some unexpected time off from work this week so I've gotten caught up on some alterations work so I won't feel guilty that if today I stitch away and continue with my 'Downton Abbey' marathon.....at least for a little while.</div>

So this is one of those recipes that popped up in my facebook newsfeed . I really like zucchini and I love chocolate so I thought I'd try this for a little something different. Just a couple of things I did differently was to use *Splenda for baking rather than real sugar and rather than brushing the pan with butter and cocoa, I sprayed it with *Baker's Joy. The recipe and web-site are shared below! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
ENJOY!</div>

I recently participated in a mini-quilt swap through www.scrappygirlsclub.com . </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the awesome mini that I received from Claudia B. LOVE it! So many techniques! For the trees, she used a confetti technique that I had not seen before....SO cool! Little snippets of fabric placed beneath a piece of tulle then stitched and quilted into place. I will have to try this sometime.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6YYifiznQEwdBRQ7ClhoMeLGbRvLOXV_Xw8ChB0gFcu-E8xE2b8i1GtMIhDJUIZZO553ST1Uq-it3fkFeU_as28sYIiCzj8Aqw3HLmEFossK6IyTEj81kSHzB6k2wnG81vldCFft_TVZO/s1600/minimania.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="193" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6YYifiznQEwdBRQ7ClhoMeLGbRvLOXV_Xw8ChB0gFcu-E8xE2b8i1GtMIhDJUIZZO553ST1Uq-it3fkFeU_as28sYIiCzj8Aqw3HLmEFossK6IyTEj81kSHzB6k2wnG81vldCFft_TVZO/s320/minimania.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I do not consider myself a quilter but I do enjoy sewing smaller quilted projects.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I do a project as such, I usually turn to the traditional piecing method.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Below is the finished piece that I sent to Claudia.....along with a few other little goodies! It is called 'Hidden Star' done in Americana prints. I could really see this being done in a whole quilt! Love the prints and the block pattern.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope that she enjoys it as much as I enjoyed putting it together.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These are the black & white fat quarters (fq's) that Claudia sent to me, as well. I can't wait to work them into a mini-quilt of some sort....hmm....table runner, placemat....or simply a mini-quilt to hang on my sewing room wall.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwBavDPeiruaAD5Uo5TEq5tKGEfGIKZDED5QEW0hBQFRCXfSwGuO-2qO2dQEsZ8G8Y8M5rHmoLxqUFx6QoqGGNge5eVjcnzLv63nwof90SGxKSGFAPFEpaqr3ZYgGkjE3f8lPHUs8KRZpa/s1600/blkwhfq.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="179" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwBavDPeiruaAD5Uo5TEq5tKGEfGIKZDED5QEW0hBQFRCXfSwGuO-2qO2dQEsZ8G8Y8M5rHmoLxqUFx6QoqGGNge5eVjcnzLv63nwof90SGxKSGFAPFEpaqr3ZYgGkjE3f8lPHUs8KRZpa/s320/blkwhfq.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And I spotted this little bundle of fq's while waiting for the girl to cut interfacing for me at Wal-Mart. Too cute.....I couldn't resist! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After participating in that little swap I've been inspired! Of course, I will share as I go along or as they are finished!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
'Sew'......that's what I wanted to share with you today......</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Enjoy your day, my friends.........</div>

Since moving to this house, I've wanted to make this area at the front a flower bed. So finally, after 10+ years, last summer I finally got started on it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
My son hauled in some more dirt.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
An old concrete bench was set into place....This bench came from my Grandma and Grandpa Summer's place in Salisbury. I don't know if there is a story to it or not....I just remember it always being there. Their place sold many years ago after their passing but knowing the family that lives there now, they let me have it. I will forever be grateful!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I also set in an old wringer washer and old wash tub that were used by my mother and grandmother. The section of picket fence is from my high school home economics teacher and then I added the old water pump that I brought with me from our old place.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh100P5ocyo_QK2R_7zu69jHQEhMIgHNd1x4I9cPvwmAph1Kd3Q6QCw2N-IQfRQIRN4KszcsfSLYThiW3BjLa9fhl2Vhh499TA6CAYqKb1272HB4Vg0jqM7ImUSsCgN6gf59DIR_Ri1-cBj/s1600/flowerbed93.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="179" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh100P5ocyo_QK2R_7zu69jHQEhMIgHNd1x4I9cPvwmAph1Kd3Q6QCw2N-IQfRQIRN4KszcsfSLYThiW3BjLa9fhl2Vhh499TA6CAYqKb1272HB4Vg0jqM7ImUSsCgN6gf59DIR_Ri1-cBj/s320/flowerbed93.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The plant to the left of the bench is a hydrangea that I bought last year but didn't get planted. It sat out back in the container that I purchased it in.......all winter! I was SO pleased (and surprised) to see that it survived!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2GYjS-LlcYmfXkx4EOK3KJjcqB5XPxjyvP_KNHkZ1bV_DfVYYcYhwNVFD2V8QGdNrhGFujbyFo3dPnMSqjh3Wh-wGrKTpq3Jm8F6gObVF1NgBB9G9TtWiyVwhEn4mbhrk8UcGLXIh20BE/s1600/flowerbed91.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="179" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2GYjS-LlcYmfXkx4EOK3KJjcqB5XPxjyvP_KNHkZ1bV_DfVYYcYhwNVFD2V8QGdNrhGFujbyFo3dPnMSqjh3Wh-wGrKTpq3Jm8F6gObVF1NgBB9G9TtWiyVwhEn4mbhrk8UcGLXIh20BE/s320/flowerbed91.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And you can see it is doing well....full of flowers!<br />
I've added a few more plants....pussy willow, russian sage, coneflower, spirea and jewel of desert ice plants and a butterfly bush. I also painted the water pump....hoping that it shows up better as red than black.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAvZG6g6hVs6r4BLZ1kNOIkDtvjwniXR8UtKRCCLD6riTA5Fp1rxn9uwm3wPnPSBUA75f4nhu68sHV4QTU12Ii333lIfkww84VuMHnMLmwKvoMy2paD2fWEUXUxSjq9Ne2ssDhDQKn9YTe/s1600/flowerbed8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="179" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAvZG6g6hVs6r4BLZ1kNOIkDtvjwniXR8UtKRCCLD6riTA5Fp1rxn9uwm3wPnPSBUA75f4nhu68sHV4QTU12Ii333lIfkww84VuMHnMLmwKvoMy2paD2fWEUXUxSjq9Ne2ssDhDQKn9YTe/s320/flowerbed8.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a ways to go....lots more to go in the ground and in the old washer and wash tub. Lay out more landscape canvas, mulch and edging also need to be added. I'll share more as I get things set and as things fill out. As I've been writing this post, I've come to realize that this is becoming more of a memory garden then just a flower garden. I hope it comes out as nice and pretty as I see it pictured in my mind! </div>

The Great Pumpkin ...a design by Becky Delsman, another feature project from Primitive Quilts and Projects....This is also another revamp. I stitched the great pumpkin piece last year and had finished it with a wool felt backing and lined a wooden tray with it. Honestly? I didn't care for it so I took it apart and stitched it to this handmade burlap runner and added two more crows. I LOVE how this turned out!</div>

A friend has a "you pick" blackberry patch so this past Saturday morning we went to pick berries. I thought that Rylee would think it would only be fun for a hot second but she hung with us to pick a whole two gallons!</div>
