Introducing Madelyn Grace Jones

This little lady decided she did not want to wait till her due date of August 26th to make her entrance into this world. Her proud parents, my son Bob and his wife Audie, are doing great and little Madelyn is just perfect!

I shipped today

Partner, your package is on its way. Expected delivery August 1. I hope you have as much fun opening it up as I did putting it together!

Baby Time!

The due date is almost here (August 26, 2011) and my son will be a Daddy. I am going to one shower today and another one next week. We are expecting a little girl. I came across a great tutotial  by Karen at Sew Much 2 Luv for Flannel Baby Wipes. They turned out so very cute. Here is a picture of the finished product and a card I made for the shower today.

Yard Sale Find!

Look at this treasue I found at a local yard sale. I almost felt guilty for paying only $20.00 but then I thought how proud the lady who handmade this gem would be if she knew one of her quilts brought $20.00.

Cool Drinks for Hot Mama's Apron Done!

This apron reaks (or quote from Val "We call it horking....retching, ralphing, spewing, barfing, puking (hate that word)....amongst others......" of coolness but my very favorite part is how the package came together! Here a couple little peeks--don't want to spoil her surprise.

Shipping deadline is August 6th---gonna try to hold out a bit longer before mailing--

New Fabric in the House!

I got my partner's information and headed for Hancock's to pick out the perfect fabric for her new apron. Here is a peek!

Now that is a cool drink for a Hot Mama!

Fried Banana Peppers

Cut top off peppers, cut lenghtwise and remove seeds. Take 1/2 cup cornmeal, 1 cup rising flour, 1 egg then add enough milk to make a thick batter. Coat peppers in batter and deep fry!
