Oh, not me of course. My friend Tabitha. Let me tell you what this remarkable mother pulled off this weekend. Are you ready for this? She had a slumber party for her second child, Katie. Now, keep in mind that this woman has four children, all girls, no less. Ages starting at 9 and ending [...]

Big Time Quilting Bug
One year for Christmas, several years back, Aaron bought me a bunch of quilting supplies: How-to books, cutting mats, cutting wheel, pins.. Pretty much everything I could possibly need to make a quilt. (Have I ever mention that Aaron is a great gift buyer? Truly, both he and my dad are awesome at it.) I [...]

Love, Italian Style
I love lasagna. Well, not the lasagna that tastes mostly like Ricotta cheese, too bland. But lasagna that tastes like tomato sauce, yes, this I love. I don’t make it much though because there are only three of us which means we have to eat it for a week. But after Church this past Sunday [...]

Terrific Weekend
I found this material last summer and fell in love with it.
HAD TO HAVE IT. But didn’t have a clue as to what I’d make with it… Maybe something for Alyssa? Oh wait, she wouldn’t wear it. That’s right, she never wears anything I make for her. Then what? I’ve pondered this question for months. [...]
