Josh ended up being on a job for Todd's blue and gold banquet. Last minute I realized that it was me that was supposed to be doing the cake with Todd. The candy shop and grocery was raided and this is what we ended up with. Neither Todd or myself had ever done a cake like this but it was pretty fun. Just time consuming.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhygm3X7gpMOkxxBRlFs8FKhNSRJsatLsX9X0seklEmYizNYwai4GEFpi1RlxPJZKn5IRmHQ0mVpiXDVfQ7PISHSEliV6_KJJrHBWuHzBK0osmWWmZOmShXhyhklL_FaCvuRyP-i5O60lk/s1600/Todd's+blue+&+gold+banquet+Mom+&+son+cake-+Feb+2014.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhygm3X7gpMOkxxBRlFs8FKhNSRJsatLsX9X0seklEmYizNYwai4GEFpi1RlxPJZKn5IRmHQ0mVpiXDVfQ7PISHSEliV6_KJJrHBWuHzBK0osmWWmZOmShXhyhklL_FaCvuRyP-i5O60lk/s1600/Todd's+blue+&+gold+banquet+Mom+&+son+cake-+Feb+2014.jpg" height="374" width="640" /></a></div>

Last year my friend, Anna, brought me a quilt that she had tried to make. It just working out for her and wanted to barter services. I was <i>so</i> excited! You see, Anna works wonders with ceramics and I couldn't wait to get myself some of her pottery. </div>

It took a bit of work but I was happy to do it. And she did give me the layout of how she wanted it and the corner blocks on the quilt top finished. I assembled the top as best as I could and wound up with this beauty. </div>

I had a great time free motion quilting it, too. There are the flower shapes along the border. I used chalk to hand draw out the flower shapes and then traced the chalk with the free motion foot. I quilted in the ditch on the center. It emphasized that beautiful pattern.</div>

There wasn't enough of any one fabric to do a solid backing and I didn't want Anna to have to go out and buy any more fabric so I pieced these blocks together. I did my best to do blocks similar to the blocks and patterns on the quilt top. I really like how it turned out.</div>

I whipped up this beauty the other week. I just want to snuggle up every baby in it. The top is by Anna Maria Horner and I used a solid on the back. I added the light pink pom poms on the longer sides.</div>

I adore grabbing different fabrics that magically seem to go together. This is one of those quilts. I found the backing first and then planned the quilt top around it. I picked bright, fresh, and fun fabric pieces and just started cutting and sewing. This awesome quilt is the result.</div>

The colors, the striped binding, the quilting, everything. What is not to love about this beauty?!</span></div>

My summer was filled all kinds of crafting. From lots of baking, embroidery, jam making, gardening, and quilt making. Never a dull moment here. I'm also thrilled to announce that I'm able to swap my homemade loaves of bread for my friend's fresh chicken eggs. How awesome it is to barter. And to barter these specific services/goods. Yum!</div>

I sent this rather fun Halloween party package to my sister this past October. I found <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/37154765648184108/" target="_blank">this pin</a> on Pinterest and wanted to one myself. I sent a handmade card, candy wrapped in fun paper, and a handmade skull garland all in a fun envelope covered in skeletons and spiders. This was so much fun to do! </div>

I made quilt a few months back for a friend's baby girl. It was one of my scrap quilts. I adore scrap quilts because 1)I like the look of them and 2)I get to use up fabric I already have lying around in my scrap bag. </div>

This is one of the very last quilts that I am making for friend's babies as a present. The last one will be for my friend Emilie. But, other than that, I am done. It's just too much time, money, and supplies for me to be making them for free for friends having babies. I do have a plan to start sewing quilts to sell. My fingers are crossed that that plan works out but who really knows with the crazy summer we've had and still have planned and with school starting at the end of next month. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've decided to snap some photos of my garden for you. Now, don't think that I'm an expert. I really feel like I'm just playing house in my garden. It's all trial and error where the worst thing is for me to not try. I have a raised garden bed that I built by myself and for myself last Spring. This Spring we painted it pink. Because we could. And I like pink. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Josh tilled up a section of our yard for me to have more garden space. {There is never enough!} Unfortunately, our soil isn't that great because our home is new construction. So our soil is compacted clay with no nutrients. But, no worries! I add our kitchen waste/compost right into our garden to add more nutrients to the soil and hopefully by next year the soil will be better. OR maybe I'll just build more raised garden beds right where the tilled garden is. I'm so spontaneous that I'm never really sure until I'm actually planting or building. </div>

These are our green beans and tomatoes. This Spring TONS of cherry tomato plants grew from tomatoes left in the garden over winter. It was pretty amazing but I didn't thin them out. I should have though because they ended up being so leggy {tall and skinny}. With the leggy tomato plants to support and not wanting to spend extra money at the store, I found some tall sticks in the woods and staked the plants to them. And it works great!</div>
