 COLD SEASON   It's that time of year when family members are getting sick--runny noses, headaches, chills and fevers. I have put together a few things I keep on hand all year. BeeKeeper's Propolis Throat Spray. This stuff helps keep my family from getting sick. The taste isn't medicinal at all and its good for kids and adults.   Beekeeper's Propolis Soothing Lozenges. I bought these with my last purchase. My kids HATE cough drops, so hopefully they will use these. Oscillococcinum. Once my family does get sick, these help tremendously! My son had a fever 2 days before a soccer tournament. I gave him these and within 3 hours he was up and wanted to go to school. Don't worry, I kept him home for the day. He was able to play in his soccer tournament. I have given these to coworkers and everyone loves their effectiveness. Safe for kids and adults. This post contains affiliate links.

 SAFEST CAN OPENER! Do you have or know someone that has neuropathy, arthritis or have kids that want to help in the kitchen? This gadget is perfect and easy for everyone to use.  It will keep those fingers safe from cuts too.  I bought this for my Mom last year for Christmas. She has neuropathy  and struggles opening things and worries about cutting herself.  I recently bought one for myself after hurting both wrists from a fall. We love it!

I have been wanting to make one of these for a very long time. I have 2 weeks off from work and decided now is a great time to make one. It was so easy and fun! There are so many tutorials out there and ideas of how to put them together. I used white double sided bias tape. Each flag measures 6 inches tall and 6 inches wide. It really makes our plain fireplace look great. I think I might have to make another one that goes with that room's colors. Happy Sewing!

I had to share this recipe. It is so yummy! My kids that like egg nog really liked these cupcakes. My kids that don't like egg nog thought these were okay. My hubby and I loved them! I found this recipe at  Six Sisters Stuff . The recipe says to make mini cupcakes, but I didn't have the time to make that many. I made regular sized cupcakes and baked them for 18 minutes instead of the called for 8-10 minutes. Ingredients Cupcakes: 1 (16 ounce) box white cake mix 1¼ cups egg nog 2 eggs ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg ½ teaspoon vanilla extract Frosting: ½ cup butter, softened to room temperature ¼ cup egg nog 1 teaspoon vanilla ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg 4 to 5 cups powdered sugar (until you reach desired consistency) Instructions Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, egg nog, eggs, nutmeg and vanilla. Whisk together until just combined. Spoon batter into a mini cupcake pan filled with paper liners or sprayed with nonstick c...

Okay, so this has nothing to do with fabric or sewing, but I just had to share. I found this yummy recipe for Cinnamon Caramels over the weekend. I love caramels and I love cinnamon candy, so I knew I had to try it. Let me tell you, they are delicious. They are not overpowering, just a light hint of cinnamon. I made it for a family party and everyone loved them. I found the recipe at Mel's Kitchen Cafe . Caramels are a lot of work, but totally worth it. You should give them a try!

I love making Christmas pillowcases. My kids love theirs so much that they use them all year :) I followed the "Roll it Up" pattern as instructed at  http://www.allpeoplequilt.com/millionpillowcases/instructions/RollItUp.pdf I have made them for neighbors, family and friends. Enjoy!

I am still here. It has been a long time since I posted anything. Sorry about that. I have been busy with my 4 kids, working part time at my kids' school and running things on the home front while my hubby goes to school at night. I still have lots of fabric in my studio. And sometimes, I can't help myself from buying a new bolt or 2 from my local Riley Blake warehouse. Like these fun fabrics:  I have so many ideas for projects, but never seem to have the time to finish or really even start. I am currently working on a few table runners for a local fundraiser for my boys. I have 2 weeks to finish. I sure hope I can get them done.  Pictures and patterns will follow soon...I hope!

There is this local hospital by the name of Primary Children's Hospital. It is an amazing place that caters to kids. I have had 2 kids there for procedures over the years. I have a niece that has spent a lot of time there in the last year. She received the best care and their doctors are amazing. For the past 3 years, I have donated a quilt to the Festival of Trees. People donate decorated trees, quilts and other handmade items to sell and everything goes to the hospital. It is an amazing event. So here is my quilt this year: The fabric is the Riley Blake Alpine Wonderland collection and the pattern is a Turning Twenty pattern without the border. I love the quilting design in this quilt too. Such a fun quilt to make and give!
