Quilt from Quilting Class Blocks......


This will be a lap sized/baby sized double sided quilt.  Here is the black side all done, now I will do the same except it will be on a white background.

We made 12 blocks total, I kept 2 whole and the rest were cut into 4 pieces.....I am very happy with the resulting look and am anxious to see how different the white background will look...

My Teapot Collection............................

Yes, I know it is not quilting, but I got 2 more teapots today for my collection!  I also painted the inside of my hutch to make it look more built in.

Gift for a Friend......

This is a combination of paper piecing, selvages and Y seams.  I did not realize it was a bit crooked till I had finally finished framing it!  I used a light stain on the frame made from coffee/tea bags.

Even crooked I like it and hopefully so will the recipient!

"HEALTHY" Chocolate Milk with Just 3 Ingredients......

 So....I just LOVE chocolate anything and really wanted to make a good chocolate milk that would not kill my calories for the day! 

This is as simple as it gets......in your blender pour one serving of milk, 1 tsp of DARK chocolate powder and a squeeze of agave, honey or your sugar of choice. 

Blend well....it will come out frothy and taste a bit like a milk shake - you can add ice cubes for more of a shake texture.

Drink and enjoy your guilt free indulgence!
