These little guys were willing to brave the Arizona rain to get at the pinecone bird feeders the boys and I made the other day. The first batch sat for a week or two before the birds found them, but now it’s like Templeton at the Fair.

And this little boy was willing to brave the rain too!

Fable in the Sun

Good thing Fable was keeping this spot warm for him.

Cascade Scarf

Finished this scarf today. Can’t decide if I like it nor not? It’s at least 8 foot long, and I’m not even going to mention what my brother said about it. Well, maybe. He compared it to parts of the female anatomy. What a butthead.

Sourdough Bread Rising

Sourdough

Made my first batch of Sourdough Bread ever today. It’s so yummy. One of the least finnicky breads I’ve worked with, surprisingly.

I went to check my email and one of the loaves was hoovered down in seconds flat. Mostly by aforementioned brother. Butthead.

Homemade Jam packaged up so cute!

There is NO Typo. :/

And last, but not least, I finally got around to packaging up a Valentine’s Day Surprise for a certain special someone. Do you know who you are? :D

And this concludes our semi-rainy Wednesday  stuck at home. Tell me about yours!

Zigging and Quilting!

I’ve been feeling quilty lately. Baby showers seem to be the best inspiraion for me. I gives me a deadline and an excuse to give a gift that will last instead of something that will be used for a month or two and then donated.

I have few baby gifts that we still use now that my youngest is a year. One of them is a small sampler quilt that my mom picked up at at a truck stop somewhere outside of Payson, Az.

Here’s the version I created. I think it turned out really well. I had a couple different quils in mind when I desgined this. PurlBee lists a great tutorial. Crazy Mom Quilts had a beautiful version. Don’t forget this sassy one too.

I used 6or 7 different greens that I picked up at JoAnns. The brown is a super soft linen blend. The backing is Alexader Henry’s Giraffe Crossing.

When I asked the mama-to-be what her nursery theme was she said giraffes and outdoorsy colors. I hope it fits in okay. If not I know quite a few boys here that would be happy to keep it!
