My Honey Has Been Baking

The boys were off for Spring Break for two weeks. They stayed home with their Dad and he did a bunch of baking with them. Lots of cookies and cakes.

My husband has been quite the baker this winter. He's made coconut maccaroons, coconut cake, chocolate cake. He's perfected the chocolate chip cookie. To a whole wheat, chocolate chocolate chip cookie. They are super yummy and fudgey/brownie like. Yummo!

Here are a couple of pics of his creations.

Recipe: Coconut Bundt Cake

A few Tidbits

Pictures from one of our weekend hikes.I saw this awhile ago and I can't remember which blog it was from. If I come across it I will put in the link.

Obsessing over: Arranging my house. I separated the boys again and have now lost my craft room/office. But it's been two weeks of moving things around to feel more at ease with it and it's not going well. I borrowed a L shaped desk from my Mom and got rid of a few pieces of furniture and now I'm downsizing my books and such but it's such a process. But of coarse it's also the part that I love.

Working on:  I have about four quilts being worked on right now. Well, if I'm honest it's about six in different stages. I'm always on the look out for more patterns to try. I really do have enough for now and I'm almost impatient to get to work on them more. This is the other thing I'm obsessing over, that and the fabric for these quilts.

Thinking about: Making plans to change my life. I'm tired of being tired of my job and I need to make plans and plans to change it, so that I can be a happy camper!

Anticipating: Working out every day this week. I'm back on a roll. This morning I felt so good after my workout. I love to sweat!

Listening to: My ipod, it's on shuffle and it's all I listen to a work. I have quite varied tastes that's for sure.

Eating: Well, working on getting a cleaner diet. I've given up pop again and it's going brilliant! I feel so good already.

Wishing: I was home in bed. I've developed that most horrible sleep habits. A good friend of mine suggested it's the caffeine. I drink coffee and pop usually and since I've cut the pop I'm trying to cut back the coffee to one a day.

Finished quilt.

I made this quilt for my Mom. I made it up and just sewed.

It turned out pretty nice and I learned quite a few things from doing it.

Just some pics.

 Happy Boys!

 Fabric for latest quilt.

Splurged and got myself some slippers on sale. Black knit. I've been wearing them all day and even wore them from home. They are comfy!

Busy Few Months

Hi!

Yes, I'm back, sorry about that. Life has been rather busy since before Christmas and I'm finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel is home organization and quilting and such. Though I really haven't been in the mood to blog either.

I had a crazy idea to make a bunch of quilt before Christmas for gifts. I didn't make it but I got a few done and few more after Christmas. The two I finished were for friends. I only got a picture of one of them.

I got this pattern from Quilts and More Winter 2011 edition. It's called Urban attitude. The friend I made it for loves it and cuddles with it on her couch all the time. That makes me happy.

Mickey turned 7.

He had a Mario themed birthday party and we made this big picture for him.

He way very very excited.

We had a few power outages.

 Mica had his 5th birthdays.They grow up so fast, I don't have a baby anymore. Sniff!

I made dinosaur tails for them.

Mica's finished quilt. That I got the pattern from Jaybird Quilts.

The pattern is actually here.

Sorry, I've been out of commission!

I go this nasty cold over a week ago and it's still hanging on. I think I've had every symptom of every cold out there. It's been brutal. So I haven't been writing. I have been reading though. Here's a great post that I recommend you read.
