Is this for real???
(Sorry to whomever I stole the photo from. It came from someone on Facebook.)
Anyhow... I have been working in the garden almost everyday for more than a month and I had a thought, "I wonder if there is an easy way to grow mushrooms?" I mean, the garden is to grow things we eat in our household and boy do we eat some mushrooms. So I started searching the internet. This is what I came up with Back to the Roots. I mean, I came up with lots of sites, but this looked good and it was more affordable than other sites, especially when I used this coupon code they sent me via email. Try it mushrooms4me10, this will give you 10% off your order.
What a fantastic idea. Mushrooms in a box! I just ordered one for myself and one for my son's classroom so stay tuned for the photos!
Later!

It was a beautiful day and Ben's cousins were visiting from Tampa, so if you put two and two together the only thing to do is play hookie.
We dropped off baby sister to visit with her Avo while the big kids visited the tall ship, had a fun trip to the beach, and then to a delicious lunch at Peg Leg Petes. I know it may sound a little insensitive not to take Violet along to visit with her cousins, but really I wanted Ben to have some alone time just to hang out with the big kids and no one to have to worry about keeping track of a little one.
Don't worry though. She had her turn too.
Some fun pictures of our day!

Well the holidays blew by me again. I think I got everything done, but I can not be sure. However, the kids seem happy so I must have done something right.
I was realizing today that it is already the 6th of January. How does it do that? I mean. How do I lose days, sometimes weeks even? I am just noticing the last post I made was in October 2011. Wowzer! Do I feel like a slacker, but I know that I am not. Just really busy with kids, family, and life in general.
So... New Year's resolutions... do you have 'em? I used to, but then I saw this and thought... Why bother? The statement is true.
Self Deception... what a wonderful thing.

Okay, so this is a seriously late post. I wasn't sure if anyone would care about me getting a new, used machine. I figure... it's important to me, so why not blog about it.
Last year... yes... last year, Ken bought me this Bernina Nova for our 11 year anniversary gift.
Boy is she a work horse. She will sew through just about anything without missing a beat. I keep her as a back up, or if I want to do top stitching in a separate color, or I am working on something like heavy jean or corduroy.
The best thing about her is that she is my favorite color... Green! So what better name to call her than Cricket! I couldn't think of anything better... can you?
Welcome home Cricket!

My mom was in a car wreck a week ago, but never went to the doctor because she felt okay. Not so much anymore.
So last night around 7pm I got the call that she had been to the doctor earlier in the day for an x-ray. Everything seemed fine and they sent her home. Next thing she knows she is getting a call saying she had a fracture in her neck.
Well one thing led to another and I was sitting in the ER with a box full of Denyse Schmidt Flea Market Fancy squares, paper hexagons, and a lot of time on my hands. Lets just say by 1am I am more than half way finished with a project that I thought would take me a year to get through. Mixed blessing?!?
Let me just thank God my mom did not have a fracture. Now we are scheduled for an MRI this week and hope that goes a little more smoothly with a positive outcome as well.
Here is a photo around 8pm when I started.
