New baby

Well, our precious one is here.  One reason not much sewing going on.  Lots of snuggles and kisses however.

This was Laniks and Paw Paw's first movie together.  We were so happy to be able to spend quiet time with him.

Back to sewing

I am getting to stich a little here and there.  this is actually the beginnings of 4 baby quilts.  I just cut scraps, and keep putting them in a box until I get to sew.  All these quilts will have not repeat fabrics.  I will just sew as far as I can, then put them back in the box until I cut more scraps.

Getting ready for Baby

I took this beauty completly apart, washed every inch of the plastic, and machine washed all the fabric.  I of course, had to let it air dry for several days.  Well, believe me, it was very challenging to put it all back together with now instructions.  Sorry for the terrible pics, but I had run out of room to put it.  I had 2 carseats, one stroller, 1 bassinet, and 1 pack and play all taken apart and cleaning at one time.  What was I thinking. You can see the tiny bows I put on it, I would have chosen huge bows.  Dani likes small and simple.   I am happy with it.

Isn't this the cutest.???   I keep saying, I'm not buying one more thing, then I found something like this.  Too cute. 

Crocheting

I have been crocheting lots of little things.  This is the cutest little dishrag.  I use it as a coaster.  It is suppose to fit the curves of your hand.  It was on Etsy.  I love all the little patterns you can buy to try new things.  Tiffany wants me to do slippers, that is for another day.

Cowboy Caviar, Salad in a jar

I found this wonderful recipe at Jo's Country Junction.  Of course I made a few changes, but we all loved it.  You can eat with chips, I just eat it as a salad.  I made a huge bowl, but all my little visitors took home a little jar, so I have my 2 little snack. 

Cowboy Caviar

1 can pinto beans
1 can corn
1 can garbazono beans
small jar pimento, ok I bought a jar, and lost it.  So none in this salad

1 cup chopped onion
Toni Chachere's
 dressing
1 c vinegar
1/4 c grapeseed oil
3/4 c sugar
mix well, pour over salad, let sit in icebox for a couple of hours before serving.

I have put beets in this salad, or canned carrots.
