Where has the time gone?

 


How is it that it is already the last half of January?  Where has the time gone?  It seems like it was just Christmas.  Of course, it could be that I have been sick since Christmas and haven't left the house.  I got some reading done and some stitching done.  But I still have all three of the Christmas trees and all the Christmas decorations still up.  One year I left the tree up until March.  I imagine I will attempt to undecorate my house this weekend.

Did you make resolutions for the new year?  I decided that this year I would improve my baking/dessert skills.  I have attempted some thumbprint cookies that are similar to the party cookies we get at the local Bake Shop.  I was not impressed with my version LOL  This past weekend Jenna and I made a chocolate cake from scratch with cream cheese frosting and chocolate cream cheese frosting - both from scratch.  It was AMAZING!  I have been pouring over Pinterest to see what to bake this weekend.  Do you have a favorite dessert you make?  Tell me about it and I might try it :) 

Until next time...

Anyway, I read Book Chick City's blog  http://www.bookchickcity.com/  and they're doing a Mystery/Suspense reading challenge that I'm going to join in on next year.  I'm going to see if I can read 12 mystery/suspense books.  You may be thinking that that isn't a whole lot of books for someone who claims to be an avid reader; and you're right, it's not BUT I normally don't read myste...

Ready for the rodeo?

Well, after being away from sewing and listing and selling for a couple of years, I've finally got something new up. I used an adorable cowboy and cowgirl fabric from Michael Miller and made this skirt and top that would be perfect for a trip to the rodeo. Or it would be great for western day at school. Feel free to check it out...even bid on it ;0) http://cgi.ebay.com/Custom-Boutique-Rascals-Western-Cowgirl-CBD-FCBM_W0QQitemZ280255354898QQihZ018QQcategoryZ79714QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
