A Baby Blanket

I've gotten a little more work done,

on my latest knitting project.

Can you see the heart?

And the teddy bear? :-)

Decorating a Farmhouse Kitchen

~with things on hand~

I was inspired by sprinkles, colored sugars, and candies

that I saw displayed in Mason jars at a restaurant 

in (of all places!) New York City.

I thought, why keep dry goods tucked away in a cabinet?

I had a case of mason jars leftover from 

the cookie mix order

that were just sitting around.

So, I filled them up with beans, pastas, rice, couscous and oats

and plan to sit them out on the kitchen counter.

The bonus?  I freed up two whole shelves in the cabinet!

"Starting" Over ;-)

I  regret to inform you,

that the sour dough bread starter experiment
did not succeed...

I am planning to try a recipe that uses a bit of yeast next.
I'm still craving some homemade sour dough bread.
I will not be defeated! ;-)

My birthday present!

I ask my Daddy to make me a little stool to sit on in the barnyard.

So this is what he made me for my birthday! :-)

Recycling Feed Sacks

into useful tote bags! 

These are really fun to make.

I learned a lot making my first one.

And thought my second attempt

turned out better!

I used the instructions found on this blog.

Can't wait to make more!
