I was perusing blogs the other day and came upon this post at Mustard Seed Creations. Great blog! And what a great idea! She suggested using oil and vinegar on tired dried out wood furniture to give it a new life. So....I did. See how dried out the top of the table is in the photo above?And here is the front of it, poor thing!Here is the after! All I did is mix a little bit of vinegar into the

I can't believe how long it's been since I posted. Amazing how time flies when life is busy. These first two pictures are of our attempt at getting and making our very own maple syrup. We learned a lot and will do better next year!Apparently I uploaded the wrong picture! We got not even a full quart jar of syrup after boiling down 5 gallons of sap. It sure is yummy though!Miss Olivia trying to

In my forever surfing through blog land, I found this great blog I Make Stuff. She is VERY creative! Sit down with a cuppa and take a look around.But, I found this post and tutorial about her story and mission to help widowed service women with a project she is calling "Write it Out Project".What a great idea.Come on, let's give her a hand and get some journals made up for her!

On my Yahoo group StitchMap, there is a class going on right now for Color Theory. I'm not in this class but will be taking it later. There have been a lot of photos posted on the group page of people's homework which happen to be color wheels. It has been very fun watching what people are coming up with.Today, I went over to my mom's to spend some time with her. She has a large box of pictures

I found this tutorial to make these cute Cloth Baby Rings. How perfect! I happen to have a baby! Well, grand baby lol. This is the first group of rings I have made. I have 2 other sets of fabric to make a couple more.Miss Olivia and her parents came in to town yesterday for a couple of days so it was perfect timing to finish these up to give them to her this afternoon.She took them immediately

I showed this table topper a few posts back. It was fun, I was able to get it done in a weekend. My husband even helped! It's like a puzzle making sure all of the blocks work well together so I get him in, on figuring it out. Little does he know, I'm secretly and slowly moving him into the quilting world *evil snicker*. =)So here is my predicament...I have never machine quilted so I have no clue

The Indiana Heritage Quilt Show this weekend is the first quilt show that I have been too. I was really looking forward to seeing all of the beautiful quilts I knew would be there. What I didn't know was the amount of VENDORS that were there! Holy smokes! There were so many vendors, they spilled out to another building across the street. I didn't even make it over there.

We had a "challenge" on our StitchMap group! Fabric dyeing with SNOW! Oh what fun we had! We were to go to this blog and read directions and go from there. We had a week to do it. Thankfully this challenge came at just the right time considering we had a ton of snow on the ground! Hmm....think that was a coincidence?! ;) Noah got in on the fun too since he had several days off of school!Here is

LOOK at this beautiful fabric! A very good friend, Karen, told me she would send me some wonderful purple fabric since I was whining that purple is my most fav color and I hardly have any! What's up with that? You would think that would be all I buy lol. I love the purple fuzzy stuff on the right....it is SO soft, very very soft. I mean REALLY soft!This is a bad picture but Karen surprised me

Finished up a couple of presents....I won't say what they are for! I really want to make some more embroidery pillows. This was fun!My first attempt at an envelope style pillow. I put it off for so long because I thought it would be difficult. Ha! Was I surprised how easy it was! I'm planning on making some more of these!The back of the pillow.And this is a table topper.

My good friend Shari sent me some stash! Another good friend posted a comment on my last post saying that all of these generous people are 'angels' but Stash Goddesses! She is completely correct! So, that is what I'm saying from now on lol. I've been sent another Stash Goddess!All of these fabrics, I am pretty sure, are recycled or upcycled, however you want to call it lol.

This is how I received Vicky's block after Leslie worked on it! Isn't it beautiful! When Leslie posted the picture when she was done, she also mentioned that the block had an Egyptian feel to it so that is the direction she took with it. I promptly stared to Google Eygpt to get some ideas of shapes or objects I might be able to use myself.I found that a Lotus flower is a native in Egypt and could

I belong to a wonderful Yahoo group called StitchMap. This group has Angels, Mentors and Apprentices. And a love of stitching of all kinds and a community spirit that brings people together over the miles and over electronic lines.

This weekend at the race track we had the Sports Car Club of America, or SCCA. We love when this group comes out and runs our road course. As per proper road course protocal, we have a fire truck, ambulance and wrecker on each end of the road course. One group is called Abel, the other Baker. As you can see, we at Baker call ourselves the "Bad Ass Baker Bunch"! We love to have fun, this is part

I love this picture! Left to right, my aunt, my mom and me.They spend a few days together every year. The past couple of years I go for a day and visit. It's too bad we can't do it more often but that is what distance brings.Even though yesterday was rainy and cloudy, it was still a beautiful day spending time with these two awesome ladies.Stop and smell the roses....

I have finished my part of the first block that I have received! Yay! This is Leslie's block, or blocks. She sent out 2 - 6" blocks. I chose to work on the one on the right.

Have you heard of Freecycle? It's a great idea. It's a Yahoo group where you can send an email out if you want to get rid of something instead of sending it to the dump. You then get emails from people who want it, you decide who gets it and they come pick it up therefore saving it from the dump. Great thing. Or, if you are looking for something you can post that also.Somone posted the fabric in

Instead we went antique store shopping again and have been relaxing the rest of the weekend. We have very few relaxing weekends left so we are taking full advantage of it.My friend Shari wanted me to blog about the hankies I found so she could give me hanky lessons lol. So here they are!

I did it!! Yahoo! Not only did I get the pin keep done in time to mail for the swap, and not only did I actually do a CQ pin keep....I actually finished a project! LOL That's one thing I like about these here swaps....keeps me on my toes.I took 3 different pictures, different lighting and different backrounds. I couldn't decide which pictures was best so I posted all 3 of them. So, it's not like

On the Yahoo group CQFornewbies, we are having a pin keep/scissors fob/needle book swap. You can make as many as you want or just one, send them to the hostess and get, in return a similar item that someone else made! What fun! So I decided to jump in. I'll never learn this if I don't have the incentive lol.I chose to do one pin keep. The picture above is where I am at in the process. LOL I need

This is the beautiful pin keep I won this month. Lyn from Quilting Lion (http://quiltinglion.blogspot.com/)has a monthly blog teaser and give away. There are several questions and a bonus question. If you are the first to answer all of the questions, you win a pin keep and a silkie. If you get the bonus question right, you get a squishy also! I think I have that right. It's in some kind of order

NASCAR training at the race track we work at. This is an on track scenario the guys are working on. Checking the driver/patient, extrication if necessary and ready to put a fire out if need be.This is Ricky Nobbe being chased by another upset driver lol. All in good fun that is! But, it helped the guys understand what to do if they encounter a driver that isn't too happy.Roll over

OK, it really tastes better than this picture looks. LOL I mean, it doesn't just taste yummy....it doesn't just taste delicious.....it tastes....like heaven. My mouth is drooling just thinking about it.I got this recipe from a friend and I don't know where she got it from. So, if someone knows where it came from, please let me know so I can give credit where credit is due. And it sure is due with

So, the floral patch kinda stuck out like a sore thumb. Shari (http://ladyjspice.blogspot.com)came up with the idea of putting the lace down to help make the patch look smaller. I think it worked! I also needed to take out the zig zag since it was bunching up some of the fabric and put a baste stitch down in place of it. All I have to do is create my book tomorrow and it will be in the mail. It's

The daffodils are starting to come up! Yeah spring is near! Even though, it's supposed to be in the 30's to 40's this coming weekend. That is ok, I can look out my window and see these and know that warmer times are around the corner.My lilac bush with good size blooms on it already! It's a young 'un so I hope I get good blooms on it this year. My Grandparents had huge lilac bushes in their back

I put together a new crazy quilt block today. I belong to the Yahoo Crazy Quilt International novice group and we are starting a Round Robin that I will be participating in. There are 5 of us in the group, we each make a block and then send it around to each other down the line after we do some work on it. In the end, when my block gets home it should be done or almost done. I can't wait, this

Ended tonight. :( But these guys played hard the whole season. I am so proud of Noah, my 11 year old. This is the first year that he felt confident enough to join basketball. He was the only one on the team who hadn't played before but he stuck with it and improved with every practice and every game. That is Noah kneeling on the right. I'm sure proud of him. Of the few points our team got tonight

Last summer I was looking through something, probably a magazine of some sort, and found some beautiful silk ribbon embroidery. That was it, I was lost. I had to learn how to do it. It was one of the prettiest things I have seen. I got onto the internet and searched the world over and saw tons of eye candy! Oh...to be able to do some of the wonderful things out there that others are doing! In the

These pictures are the last of the treasures I got this past weekend. The above picture is of a few hankies and a pillow case. The pillow case has beautiful crocheting on the edges! I hope when you click on the picture it shows up better lol.These doilies are so cute! We went to 2 different antique stores, the kind with booths. Just about every booth had baskets of doilies and hankies. My husband

Here is more of the vintage fabric that I found at an antique store!The picture below is a huge pile of this and thats and extra of what is in other pictures.The material on the right of the below picture seems to be stained all over. I sprayed it before washing it but it didn't come out. This is too bad, it's pretty neat fabric that is almost sheer. :(This was an exciting find for me! I got some

My husband and I went away for the weekend. The first place we went to was an antique store where I found a box jam packed full of vintage fabric scraps! For $5!! These are just a few pictures of what was in the box. It filled a clothes basket. Not all of the fabric is in the best of shape so cross your fingers for me that they wash up well! I'm sorry that the pictures did not show up well. I am

I tried Silk Ribbon Embroidery for the first time. I love it. It is such a beautiful art form! The possibilities are endless with this. I am going to start practicing on some cotton so I can use this with Crazy Quilting that I am going to start also.Along with the other bajillion things on my to do list!
