Several months ago my sister & I were talking about dinner recipes (and my complete and utter lack of wanting to make dinner most nights) and so she shot a few easy ones over to me to try. Tonight, I dug that email out (which was burried deep in my inbox) and decided to try…

 Not in the mail yet, but the quilt for Baby B. is finally finished. I don't know why it took me so long, it was only a baby-sized quilt. I used the same fabric for the binding that I used for Mrs. Miller's quilt. You know, the quilt that I didn't actually have any decent…

You would be wrong if you thought I wasn't riddled with guilt making this baby quilt for a girlfriend who is expecting a baby boy in August. You see, my sister, my very own sister, my flesh and blood,  had her baby nearly 3 months ago and I have yet to finish the quilt for…

 Included, (but not limited to): Camping at Carlsbad State Beach with lots of extended family.  4th of July at the Hollywood Bowl with wonderful company. A visit from favorite North Carolina friends: The Harrises (and Diddy Reese Ice Cream for dessert)!  A late night trip to the ER (I'm okay). Recovering & looking forward to…

We made it back from our camping trip just in time to make it to the Hollywood Bowl for the annual 4th of July concert. Kate nearly waved that little flag for the entire sh0w! Hope you had a wonderful 4th! Our group of 18 had a ball tonight. Will share camping pic's soon! xo

Photo credit: here That photo reminds me so much of Edgartown on Martha's Vineyard. I always miss that place this time of year. I'm not sure where it was taken, but I love it. We are headed to the beach to go camping for a few days. We need a little relaxation and sand in…

We survived the last day of school on Friday and I was able to eek out the teacher gift just in time.  Just in time meaning I was up until 5 a.m. the morning of the last day of school. The teacher gift was this quilt. All the children drew pictures and each picture was…

Just popping in to say we had the most lovely day at the beach on Monday. We took a friend along with us from Henry's class. We didn't have bathing suits (it was very last minute) so they stripped down to their skivvies and went crazy. I am totally ignoring the growing piles of laundry, stacks…

What a week. I'm not going to lie, it sucked pretty royally. I'm exhausted from it sucking so bad (is that possible? It is possible. I'm just going to relish in it) I'm not going to share the worst of it with you, but I will say that when we had to make an emergency…
