A Year of Schnibbles

What's a Schnibbles you ask? It's a wonderful little pattern made by Carrie of Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. made using charm packs or scraps. Click here for more info on Schnibbles.

I am joining a year of Schnibbles and intend to make one each month. Won't you join me? Click on the pic below for more information.

Family Picnic

We spent yesterday at my sister's farm for a family picnic and horseback riding. Today we took my baby to college. =0( It was a very sad day. I am proud of him but it's so hard to take your child somewhere and leave him there. We are all kind of weepy now. I know he'll do well though.

Here are some pics of my sister's horses. Beautiful aren't they? We had a great time. I haven't ridden in awhile so I'm very sore today. But I'd love to go right back tomorrow.

oh wait. . . how'd he get there? LOL!!! That is Spike, a.k.a. Spikers, a.k.a. Spik-a-licious, a.k.a. Fart Blossom. He went on the ride with us and had a great time.

We kept the little ones in the pasture.

Just some lovely flowers at her gate:

Oh and a pic of the beach. . . it was so wonderful.

And a quilt finish. This one goes to hubby.

Another Giveaway. . .

Christmas in Late July

I've been working on Christmas gifts lately. I made placemats and hot pads for a friend.

I also made an apron for my sister. This isn't actually the one she'll recieve, can't show you that because she'll see it.

And in the spirit of Christmas. . . baking!! I made this peach pie using peaches from our tree. Mmmmmm was it good. Wish you were here to share a piece.

More produce from the garden (just because I'm so proud of what we grew and how good it all tastes). We doubled our garden space this year and intend to double it again next year. We expand as we learn more. We grow everything organically so many things we learn as we go. There seem to be so few things we can use for bugs but like I said, we are learning. We still have corn, peppers, broccoli and carrots to come in. . . can't wait!

And I finished another t-shirt quilt.
