When I saw this moon face sign at Liz Marie Galvan site I tried to buy it but it was sold out at the time. So I made one myself and love it.

Over The Moon Quilt
I have been working on this quilt for a while and am so glad to get it done. It is larger than I usually make lap or baby quilts so I had to have it quilted on a long arm at my local quilt shop. The pattern is cute and I used mostly 30's and 40's fabrics.

Cookies For The Party!!!
Our granddaughters are having a party at their lake house this weekend and I wanted to do a little baking. I don't know how many dozens I made, let's just say it was a lot.
Starting from the top. Triple chocolate fudge cookies, Giant chocolate chip cookies, Soft molasses cookies, and Chewy cherry, double chocolate and pecan cookies.
Since we are at our vacation home I had to improvise on my containers.
Stole a few for the neighbors. Again, no cute packaging so I am a little bummed but I hope the cookies themselves make up for it.
I am tired now and have a little bit of sugar overload. Think I will be eating salads for a few days.
And napping.

Dark and Moody
Today I finished a lovely lap quilt. I started this one a number of months ago but had to put it aside while my mother was ill. She passed about 4 weeks ago from Alzheimer. It was a very difficult time for our family. I finally felt like picking it back up again a few days ago and it really helped me feel creative again.
The fabric is kind of dark and moody but also very pretty. I machine quilted it in an undulating wave pattern on my home machine.
The floral, solid and text patterned fabric feels a little modern to me as does the color pallet. I am really loving the overall grey tone.
It is on the large size for a baby blanket. More like a lap quilt. So I am not really sure who I will gift it to yet......

Payday Candy Bar Copycat
I have been looking for a copycat recipe for Payday candy bars forever. I have tried a few and had some pretty awful results. Think big pan of runny stuff that never hardened into anything you could cut into bars. But I have finally found one that turned out beautifully. Jennifer from Bake or Break has a great recipe that I am gobbling up as we speak.
Plently of nuts and a sweet salty nugget center that holds it shape pretty well. So yummy.

Modern Farmhouse Guest Bath
Last month we decided to change things up a bit by updating our upstairs guest bath. Out went the pale pink paint and way too short pedestal sink and in went a soft gray paint and simple taller pedestal sink.
We also replaced the vanity light and mirror. My husband built the solid wood linen closet door.
He also built a floating shelf above the toilet.
I made the sign for the shelf. A little unexpected humor is always welcomed.
