Strawberry Jar Topper

I like to have some kind of hard

candy in my work room...

and lately I've been on a

strawberry kick...so I was

looking at my jar toppers that are on

my shelf and I thought I would

make one for my candy...and

what a better way to top it with but

a big red strawberry stem and all!

I love making these...and I did a

craft fair last year

and sold them all...they were the

first to go...they're super easy to

make and great for a teacher or

co-worker gifts!

Banana Nut Bread baking tip

Here's a wonderful baking tip if you love

Zucchini or Banana Nut Bread

A while ago my husband and I were visiting with his mother...and

she had made her delicious zucchini bread and I just

had to ask her what she put on top of the her bread...she

informed me that it was quite simple...her secret

was a little sprinkle of brown sugar on top just before baking!

So I now do the same and it really makes a difference and

believe me if I don't put it on there my husband notices

right a way and is quick to tell me that I

forgot the brown sugar!

It's wonderful to have the experience of our parents around even

for something so simple...so to my mother-in-law

thank you for the tip and for all the

guidance you still share with us all!

 We love you!

It's really good and when you put a little

sweet butter it's even better!



Nightie Night Owl Pillow & Blanket

Nightie Night Owl & Baby

Pillow & Blanket

Mommy Owl now has a baby!

I made the little Owl to go

along with the big one!

You fold the blanket

and put it inside the

pocket on the back side, this is

perfect for traveling...and kids

will love it and baby

has a blankie too!

 I wish I would of had one of

these when I took my

little girls to story time at

our local library!

 This Nightie Night Owl Blanket

is 36"x 36" and the pillow
is 15"x 16"

I got this cute pattern from

"Crochet Magazine"

and was designed by 

Debra Arch!




A Day at Snoqualmie Falls Park

A few weeks ago when we had

an unbelievable sunny week
my husband and I drove to 

The Pacific Northwest is so beautiful

especially on a sunny day!

I have never seen so many trees in

my life until I moved here!

You could feel the cool spray of

water on your face just

standing there!

If you are close by and haven't

 been check it out...

it makes for a fun afternoon

and a Great Motorcycle Ride!!
