Baby Quilt

Ok, the quilt is just about done - I will have to take pictures of it and post them.  I have to sew the binding on today, ship it off tomorrow.

Up around 7:00 this morning.  Out to the garden with DH this morning.  We have so many zinnias - we've had a bouquet on our table now for about two weeks - just add to it each day - and take away the bad ones...  beautiful flowers and such a variety of colors.  God has a wonderful creative streak!! ;)  We see two blooms now on the marigolds - thought we'd have more by now - just not there yet.  Four eggplant will be ready soon - they are so yummy fresh from the garden.  We had okra last night - can't seem to find a way to cook it that everyone likes.

Came back in and watched Fox and Friends and then decided to use up the last  couple of batches of Ezekiel flour I made the other day - DS#1 was up first so he chose chocolate chip miniature muffins.  I had another batch of flour so I added a banana and a few chips and made regular size muffins also - they'll all be gone by tonight - wonderful snacking!!

Studying Esther in Sunday School.  Trying to go more indepth on my own.  It's an amazing book to study and analyze.  I don't know alot about the customs of the day but will find out what I can.

This morning was beautiful - I also started cleaning the wicker (plastic) furniture out on the patio - we were driving by a house the other day - it was out on the garbage pile so the guys went and 'garbage picked' and brought it home!!  NOTHING is wrong with it - except a bit of cleaning needed.  I used bleach stuff on it - it's getting there.  It's comfortable enough to not need cushions!! But that's not to say we won't eventually get some.  I thought this morning would've been a good time to go out and sit for a few minutes... maybe tomorrow morning - it was MUCH cooler this morning than it has been.

Well, need to get off here and finish the binding.  Will post pictures later.

Welcome

I have tried my hand on blogging in the past, but have never really tried too hard.  I was working outside our home and did not have much time for such things - now I can do it at least every other day, so I am here to hopefully and some thoughts and/or ideas that can help others.  I love to quilt and sew and take care of our home.  I am constantly looking for ways to save money, decorate less expensively and find healthy recipes for our family. 

Today I picked up a new cookbook I'd ordered - The Truth about Whole Grains - I looked through it on our way home - it looks great and I will be reading it tonight as I finish up the evening... I'll let you know what I found out in it!! 

I am currently working on a few new quilts and a few older projects that are needing to be finished.  I'll post more about those in the next few days and post pictures...

For now - goodnight.
