Yummy cookies with a minor hangup....

I saw this recipe on Scrambled Henfruit's blog; I thought the lemon cookies looked yummy...and enough to try.  I was right...they are delicious...however, with one hangup...the white chocolate which I was suppose to melt in the microwave...didn't melt enough to "drizzle" over the cookies...so I smeared the chocolate over the cookies...worked just fine.  Even with the hiccup, I still would recommend the recipe!

Happy Anniversary....

Happy Anniversary, babe...I love you! 

Anniversary banner...

In a couple of weeks is my wedding anniversary with hubby...I thought it would be cute to make an anniversary type of banner.  It's not anything fancy...however, I've been in a card making slump...I thought it would get me out of it.  My analysis is: I didn't get the door open all the way...I just got my foot in the door.  Hopefully, in the next few days I'll have a complete turn around, so check back!  Here's my attempt at the banner:


side note: super cute bird cage, isn't it...I got it from my oregonian peep for my birthday...I love it!

I am in love with this...

I am in love with this commercial! That's it!

New Quilting Project...

I got this panel at a quilt store garage sale; I thought it was really cute...and since I completed the BOM quilt...I needed something new to work on. I know what you're thinking...I'm already working on the Broomstick Lace Afghan...well, I need to plan the Camp Christmas a little.  And since there aren't a lot of patterns for panels...or at least I looked through my collection of patterns and online.  I didn't find any thing I really liked, so I'll need to sketch something for this beauty!  I have something in mind...so until then, I'll be working on the afghan.

Really quick "Congratulations on your New Baby" gift...

In the event, you need a really quick baby gift...here it is: a burping cloth.  And when I mean quick...I mean 5 minutes or less...honestly, it took me longer to find, print and assemble the pattern pieces than it did to iron, cut and sew the pattern.  Here's a link to the original website, check it out: New Conceptions Sewing (free) Patterns

Here's a picture of the finished project:

Something different...

Good Morning, so instead of making a card...which I still want to do...I started an afghan.  I had some leftover yarn from my niece's afghan I did years ago; I thought I would work with it.  It's kinda old school...the method is called Broomstick Lace Crochet.  It's sooo pretty...I love the lacy look of it.  I've included a tutorial from Red Heart...just in case you want to see who it's done...and oh, and here's my project.

Broomstick Lace with Red Heart's Baby Soft Yarn

For tomorrow...

For tomorrow, I would like to make a couple of cards...I'm thinking I would like to create something for the Color Throwdown...with the retro sketch; so check back tomorrow...cool beans?! Oh, and I should have figured out a new quilting project...and did I mention I started a Broomstick Lace Baby afghan?

Another 2012 finish...

Good Evening, folks...I have another 2012 finish...Yippee!  This quilt was part of a Block of the Month from several...several...several years ago.  I wanted to work with in my stash for the sashing, corner stones and border.  I knew that was an easy task even though I would end up digging through endless stacks of fabric...just to find the perfect fabric.  Fortunately, about a three weeks ago, I visited a local discount fabric store and found this little beauty to use for my border, so I didn't have to dig to far in. Thank God!  Now I need to find a border for the flower version of this pattern...this fabric I'll need to venture out to my local quilt store...Check back...to see if I find the other perfect fabric.
