A new bag

This is the first bag I have made that I have actually been impressed by!!! Sharon let me use her pattern, which is very simple!

Trish's Visit and My Project

Trish, your quilt is just awesome! We had sew much fun while Trish was here! I loved every minute. The younger generation in our family are all awesome, and I just love spending time with them any time I can! Let's all try to make our family togetherness a priority!

Anyway, here is the project I made while Trish was having fun with my quilting machine and my embroidery machine. My project is a "Quilt in a Day" pattern. I love it, but it did take me more than a day. I think the only way you can finish it in a day is if you are working on your own with no interruptions, but what fun would that be? I'd rather take two days for the project and have Trish around to hinder my progress!!

It's not quilted yet, but I'll probably put it on my quilter tomorrow and get busy on that.

Irish Chain

I have been working on this project for a YEAR! It is a wedding gift for Jesse's sister who is getting married next month. Sharon was nice enough to let me spend all weekend at her house to quilt and finish it... and we had a BLAST hanging out!!! So I wanted to show off my FINALLY finished quilt and say a big, giant THANK YOU!!! to Sharon! =)

Getting crafty with pasta

Over the last couple of years food has become another way for me to become creative. Today I used the pasta machine that Mom got for me for Christmas to get creative. I made sheets of pasta dough, put fresh parsley leaves in between two sheets and then put those two sheets through the machine another time or two. It resulted in some ravioli (filling with ricotta, parmesan, spinach and chicken) that was VERY appealing to the eye. I put a simple sauce of melted sweet cream butter and oregano over it. It was as delicious!

Baby Clothes

Here are the baby clothes I've made so far. I still need to get snaps for the onesie. The monkey sleeper is a small (which looks to be about a 6m-9m) and everything else is a newborn (which I think means 3m)!
