I can't figure out what is going on with my blog!

I cannot seem to get the template back to normal and the background is all messed up. So, sorry everyone b/c it's so hard to read. I'll figure it out in the next millennium. Until then, I may or may not post... Bummer!!! And oh so frustrating!

Baby Blankets

Minkee and flannel rag quilt. It's the first rag quilt I've made. I love how it turned out!

Minkee all the way! I love minkee!

I had some fun fabric and created these baby quilts! Wish I had one to keep! : )

Bake items!

This week we watched 2 nephews: Jacob, 11, and Justin, 9. They as well as Nicholas and Julia, were asked to bring items for the PTA Walk-a-thon Bake Sell. Each grade wanted different items, so we have muffins, cinnamon rolls, and star and flower sugar cookies on sticks. It was a lot of work and by the end of the night, I was tired and grumpy. Eric volunteered to ice the cookies. I find it funny that I start out so excited about projects and by the end I just want to be done with them...

BTW: At the end of the bake sell, everything we made was gone! So, it was worth it! One thing I learned about sealing cellophane bags is that you can use your flat iron (for hair) to melt the cellophane, thus, your baked goods won't dry out! Just make sure you use a thin tea towel between the cellophane and the iron. They looked commercially packaged!

Sledding!

Nicholas was the 1st one down. We didn't even know it was him when we looked up to see a kid flying in the AIR!!!!! and he still landed it on the sled! Eric said, "wow, that kid got some serious air. That was awesome!" When the kid got up, he yelled out. "Dad, did you see that?" Eric was completely flabbergasted to see it was Nicholas! Needless to say, Nicholas (the very cautious one) did not even attempt to do that again. haha

Uncle Thor not wanting his picture taken...

Hugh fell asleep within minutes of being put in his seat. And don't mind the pink boots...Eric is dying that I put him in them. They were the only ones his size in the closet.

Purses!

During winter, I tend to sew a whole lot more! This time it has been purses!

Nicholas' Junior Jazz team

This was Nicholas' last game! They had a great time playing together. Nicholas posted 19 points one game. He said he can't wait to tell his kids that story!
