Oatmeal Blender Pancake Recipe

During the week most of the kids and my husband are up and out the door super early so we don't have a ton of time for warm breakfasts.

This recipe has quickly become a family favorite and I love that it all fits in a blender so the clean up is simple ... View the Post

Quilt Blocks Turned Pincushions

In my sewing room I have a pile of quilt blocks. I'm sure you do too. These are blocks that for some reason or another I didn't need in the quilting projects I was making.  So over the next little while I'm trying come up with a few ways to use those "orphaned quilt blocks" to make other projects. First up is a super simple one, to take those unused patchwork quilt blocks and make them into a simple pincushion! These tiny log cabin quilt blocks are three that I had leftover from this LOG ...
