Santa Ornament!


I decided that I wanted to make some projects using some of my MOM's fabric and some of mine.  The green and red prints are my MOM's and the other fabric is mine.  Now, I have a cute little santa ornament that's a little bit of MOM and a little bit of me. I know she is looking down on me and smiling.  I think it turned out very cute.  I am loving it!  I know she is, too!

Baked potato bag!


Well, well.  I finally finished my baked potato bag.  Wow, it makes the most wonderfully fluffy baked potatoes in the microwave. Simply wash and scrub potatoes, no need to pierce them, wrap in paper towel and place in bag.  Close bag and microwave for 3-4 minutes.  The potatoes are tender, fluffy and not all wilted and shriveled up or hard.  It also works just as amazing for corn on the cob.

Yumm! Gotta run, need to scrub up some 'taters!

Cake?!! I want that!


Oh my goodness!  Have you ever seen anything like that?  If you want to make this cake, you can too!  I don't know if I could have the heart to eat it or not.  How about you?

Pillow Cover!


I decided that I needed a comfy pillow that I could use outside.  This is my first pattern! I am excited that it came out as nice as it did.  This cover can be easily removed and washed , when needed.  I just love the little sunflower buttons!  My cover is snug and fits a 12 x 12 pillow form.  It has nice sharp corners.  I like that in a cover!

His 'n Hers!


I hate a sweaty bottle.  The hotter it gets outside, the more the bottles sweat.  Can't have that!  I decided we each needed a cozy to keep our bottles cool and sweat-free!  Gotta love pure cotton for that.  Anyway, I am a little worried here.  School has only been out for 3 days and I am knitting and crocheting like mad.  Oh, and only to think there are 90 more days until school starts.  Lucky me!

Oatmeal!


I guess it is a sign that I am getting old!  I love oatmeal and it seems like the perfect food to eat before I go to bed.  I hate shuffling the bowl between hands because it is too hot.  I decided that I needed a potholder for my cereal bowl.  Perfect fit and just love the little bow.  Now, no more hot bowls for me!  Jealous???

Schools Out for Summer!


Yeah, schools out for summer!  Oh, this is one of the happiest days of the year!  To celebrate, I knitted a cute little cloth and put my own little stripes in it.  Cute, easy and functional!
