My Midwestern dream: get a deep freezer in my garage that contains a pillow sized bag of shredded cheese.

I'm torn.

Maybe it's because I haven't spent enough time looking at it, ironing out the kinks...etc....but just this weekend, Jason moved his blog from Blogger to Tumblr, and I fear my blog jump will be soon. I like Blogger, but I've been having issues with it for many many months. If you can believe it, I post more than you ever get to read. (these posts that were never read by another soul, somehow vanished into thin air when I clicked the "Publish Post" button after writing. Never to be seen again!) My posts have vanished so many times that for a while I just didn't post at all. So, I think with Jason's move to Tumblr, I will join him.


My blog hasn't moved yet. Don't worry!

Bunny Love - OMG SO CUTE

I realize it's unheard of for me to post two times in one day - but it's happening!

One of my favorite websites on planet earth is www.cuteoverload.com which, if you have some free time I highly recommend. This video sent me over the moon with pure joy. Please enjoy!

Halloween Vampire Capes


Last weekend, Jason and I were invited to a vampire themed dinner party for Halloween. The entire party was very festive and well thought out. The week leading up to Halloween was scary in it's own right with Jason in the hospital so we were looking for vampire costumes in a pinch. When I went out looking for vampire capes, I felt as if Halloween was already over and Christmas was next week. There were NO Halloween costumes left at Target. Christmas had moved in and I was in trouble. That was until I forced myself to get creative. I wasn't going home empty handed. So, I kid you not - these capes were crafted out of tablecloths and placemats I found on an end-cap at Target. I found the ribbon in the Christmas isle. Yep. I was pretty pleased with how they turned out!

Happy Halloween!

My first quilt - for Leia

What’s more comfy than a dog-themed quilt. Leia seems to really like it!

Here's a few photos of my first quilt.

Jason helped pick the colors, and I was shocked at how well they all went together!
