I have been wanting to learn to better my embroidery skills for awhile now. They aren't perfect (look at this backstitching that needs HELP!) but I love the idea of being a beginner at something. It keeps you learning and growing. So, every night I have been doing little projects here and there to help better each and every stitch. The amazing thing about embroidery is there are so many stitches to practices. Here is a great tutorial with video examples to practice the top 15 stitches if ... View the Post
Low Carb Lemon Roasted Chicken
One of our family's very favorite winter meals is a roast chicken. Everyone in my house will eat it and it can be a great economical meal because you can use the leftover shredded chicken in so many ways. Up until a few years ago, I had no idea how easy it was to roast a chicken. And it tastes so good. The roasted chickens in the store can be around $12 but if you get whole chickens on sale, this recipe can feed our family of 5 all for around 8 dollars with leftovers. A way better ... View the Post
Christmas Morning Hot Cocoa
This Hot Cocoa Recipe is reserved for Christmas morning and was a recipe that my mom got from my Dad's mom when they visited for Christmas one year. I don't think it was a family tradition every year for them, but my mom brought the recipe home because it reminded her of that Christmas and it then became a tradition in my house growing up. It is super simple but makes the most decadent hot cocoa you have ever tasted. And don't let the whipped topping fool you into not trying it out---I ... View the Post
Simple Christmas Quilt Pattern (using pre-cuts)!
Today we are releasing our newest quilt pattern---a Simple Christmas Quilt that is made from 10" pre-cut fabric bundles and a cinch to sew up. This pattern came about as I was looking through a book I have on vintage quilts and I saw several quilts that were pieced out of denim in this modified log cabin pattern. I thought it would make a darling Christmas quilt too! The method itself for this type of quilt is called the "stack and whack" and it is a fun method of quilting if you have never ... View the Post

Simple Caramel Apple Recipe
Simple Caramel Apple Recipe I have been on a mission to master some recipes that I miserably failed at when I was first married and learning to cook. And caramel....well it has been my nemesis for awhile now. The first time I made it, I almost lit the pan on fire and the smell of burnt sugar was lingering for days. It was that bad. So, I was scared of trying again for awhile while I worked up the courage to do it again. Last fall I finally decided it was time. Time to conquer caramel! And ... View the Post
