To Be Fair




I think we all put up pictures of things that look nice, so to be fair, here is my latest project. It is without a doubt a stash-buster. This is a queen size quilt made totally out of scraps. I followed my general rules for scrap quilts, which are, light, dark and accent fabric. When I was making it, all I could think is "Scrapping gone Wrong!"


No worries, this is for camping, instead of sleeping bag, and will only be used 1 maybe 2 times a year and only seen by me.

Are you kidding? I love it. Of course nobody ever accused me of having any taste - in anything. And I have never gotten the hang of the whole color thing. But I like the fact that it is queen size and looks mostly brown (one of my personal favorite colors). Kind of reminds me of a great big chocolate bar - or at least the wrapper. Anyway, in my book scrapping, like truly pot luck dinners, can never go wrong.

Yes, a great scrap/camping quilt. I am not even sure Martha owns any fabric that would remind me of a chocolate bar. This is probably to keep me from asking her to make me a quilt out of it. What could be better, s'mores, a big cup of hot chocolate, and then wrapping up in a chocolate quilt ... camping heaven.

Harvest Blessings

Image
I love the end of Summer with its beautiful harvests.  The smell of soup that fills the kitchen. I spent most of yesterday making tomato soup for grilled cheese and tomato soup dinners this Winter.  I'm so grateful that my neighbor gifted me the tomatoes and fresh onions were available at the Farmers Market. This simple recipe is 100% nutrious and delicious.  I freeze the soup in 3 cup portions. It's what Wes uses to cook dinner once a week. I did think that it was a lot of work so that Wes could think he cooked dinner, more than once yesterday.  Love living in Idaho.... Harvest Blessings.... Good day...

The Summer of $50 Picnic

Image
I love a picnic, but this year has been pricey. Some of these picnic were for two and others for more. They were all the best. Eaten in the mountains or by the sea, they were all enjoyable.  Wood River picnic area. Johnson Lake in Canada  Crab sandwiches in Bodega in California.... Challis Idaho  Redfish Lake Idaho. What a beautiful way to spend the Summer. Sandwiches and cookies, blue skies and good company.  Not ready for Fall.... Happy Summer Days.....

Walks, Lake Day and I've had Enough

Image
I love my morning walks this time of year. I tend to focus on the beauty  Because we all know that when Winter comes, I'll be whining. Had a beautiful day at Redfish .. Picnic and lake time.  And to finish up this post, it's my anniversary. To be honest, this has been a really hard year. I am working very hard on not correcting the things that Wes says. He is often confused and his problem solving skills are declining.  My other problem comes when we are around people in the stake and he's always walking up to people (who are apparently Bishops) and saying, ' Hello Bishop'. I don't even have words to describe how weird I think this is.   Sometimes I feel like he has joined a club that I want no part of.  If you have any words of wisdom....I need them.  I have been thinking about my mom and these were her words of wisdom...Men are weird and they get weirder w...
