It's been forever. More than a year in fact. I didn't know if I would ever post again. Life gets so busy and this past December an event happened that will forever change things. Maybe this will help me move on, maybe not. "Never give up" will be my motto. So, on to a better tomorrow.</div>

I finally changed my header from winter to spring and now it's almost summer over here. Of course we've been having strangely cooler weather than usual. So nice in the evenings especially. Perfect for sitting outside and visiting or reading. We've added another new baby to our family a couple of weeks ago, Audrey Rose. She is beautiful (of course) and weighed 9lbs. 6ozs. when she was born. And that hair! It's so soft and thick. Having fun with them all of course and looking forward to some lovely evenings. Hopefully I'll get my act together and start posting more.<br />

Hope to get back to posting more regularly soon. November and December were so busy but really filled with fun and love. Moving on to the New Year which started with two parties on each of the first two weekends already. This weekend will be a quiet one so I think I need to start cleaning up my sewing room to get ready for whatever's next! Hope everyone had a Blessed Christmas and Happy New Year so far.<br />

I made this little quilt for my mom~I know she'd be so proud of me. All the fabrics come from her stash (which was truly unbelievable). I have so many vintage pieces from her and wanted to honor her with this. That's her initials. The white textured fabrics were stored in a stack in one of her back rooms. I know she must have had a dream for these pieces. Hopefully, <i>my</i> little dream quilt has fulfilled a part of that. So if you love to sew cute, new ideas and dolly quilts, check your local bookstore, fabric shop or Amazon to order your copy.<br />
<br />
These all look like so much fun and a little masterpiece can be all yours to have or to give to someone you love.<br />

I also made a gift for one of Katie's friends who had a little boy. His room is decorated with rockets so I appliqued a rocket and free motioned stitched a saying on a taggy blanket. Sweet babies. I'm so looking forward to Katie having her little boy Ollie any day now. More fun times ahead!<br />

Been busy making Mock Strawberry Jam and Candied Jalapenos. The first is deliciously sweet and made with figs. The second is sooooo hot but sweet too. My kids love both and I always try to make extra for Christmas presents or just a little housewarming gift. <br />

For <a href="http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">Pink Saturday</span></a> I'm posting two things. The first makes me smile because I've never seen a pink port-o-let before and it's so funny!! Don't you love it?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik83Tgc-0pTHCsjeh1EfH-5QJJP7X9TNdjhW4_v1W1n5TvVwQGzvfbwtg9oQRhALnqx4K38hEeObZYhvH53L1gTwwyEu56zO2B6J22j-AtVUBbTQ0SH7hQYXwQ_adp6rDH2qyyy3_FK1I/s1600/DSC_0555.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik83Tgc-0pTHCsjeh1EfH-5QJJP7X9TNdjhW4_v1W1n5TvVwQGzvfbwtg9oQRhALnqx4K38hEeObZYhvH53L1gTwwyEu56zO2B6J22j-AtVUBbTQ0SH7hQYXwQ_adp6rDH2qyyy3_FK1I/s400/DSC_0555.JPG" width="295" /></a></div><br />
And the second makes me frown. Not because I don't like Strawberry Shortcake but because when I opened this DVD for my granddaughter the disc was missing! Someone had slit the bottom open and taken it out. So outrageous!!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_Pyg7D4YSyDkguUfK-nKx-ePUjm_wAoZGtNHeFuiJvl0PGZi0jZLNJeIweeRM09_LUUi4J_hQ-xS2XrFwPBMbGLRGluczvQvk4NeQJSfwmZDc88hAojrMtsI6vagzrCpUSieW0_0YNXo/s1600/DSC_0558.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_Pyg7D4YSyDkguUfK-nKx-ePUjm_wAoZGtNHeFuiJvl0PGZi0jZLNJeIweeRM09_LUUi4J_hQ-xS2XrFwPBMbGLRGluczvQvk4NeQJSfwmZDc88hAojrMtsI6vagzrCpUSieW0_0YNXo/s400/DSC_0558.JPG" width="315" /></a></div><br />

I guess I'll be making another trip to Target to buy her another. Hope y'all have a great weekend and Happy Father's Day to all y'all guys!!<br />

I emailed my daughter katie to choose a number between 1 and 25 since it's her birthday today and she chose 25 because that's old she <i>Used</i> to be!!<br />
Congratulations number 25 whose name is kt too! Totally weird. I chose another number out of a hat and that winner is Chicken Julie. I'll email y'all both to get your home addresses. Thanks to all of you for the sweet comments about my chair. I'm enjoying it and I hope I inspired some of you too!<br />
<br />
I always like to post a photo with my words so I'm sharing a watercolor painting that my husband's cousin did for me. Every year we have a wonderful Mardi Gras party and she took a snapshot of my mom and me on my front porch from a couple of years ago. I'll treasure it always because it brings back so many sweet memories for me. My mom was such a good sport and loved sitting on the porch to watch the people more than the parade passing by. Thanks so much Bobbie!<br />

For all my Pink Saturday friends: So sorry I missed the <a href="http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">big birthday celebration at Beverly's</span> </a>with y'all. I couldn't get my posting to work for some reason last weekend. Hope you all had fun at the party. Here's a little pink (or actually a lot) for this weekend.<br />
<br />
I repainted the inside of a food armoire from my mom to put in my studio. I absolutely love it! More storage space and such a happy color!!<br />

It was in the dining room and she stored her Christmas green dishes and other holiday dishes in here. Her mom probably used it for it's original purpose which was to store food. A "garde manger" in French or literally a guarder of eats.<i> It really does not translate well!</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Unusually cool for May. I love this weather although it makes me a little nostalgic. I want to go to my Mom's and sit on the porch and visit. We could sit for hours there and discuss everything in the world! I miss her so much.<br />
<br />
I also love this time of year for all the fresh veggies available. I've been picking eggplant and tomatoes already and enjoying their deliciousness!! I bought some green beans today from a friend whose grandkids make a garden with her and her husband. They call it their Making Memories Garden. How sweet is that? I think I'll just stir fry my beans to keep that crispness that I like. We'll have that with some pasta and shrimp etouffe' for supper!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div>Since I don't have a picture of tonight's supper, I'll post one from a few weeks ago. I roasted my first whole chicken ever. Researched some recipes online and brined it for a couple of hours. Then I stuffed it with lemon, onion and garlic. I chopped some of my fresh cilantro, green onions and parsley and mixed that with butter which I pushed under the chicken skin. It was soooooo good!<br />

Last weekend I meant to link my last post to <a href="http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog/">Beverly at How Sweet the Sound</a> and I completely neglected to do just that. Our community fair happened and since I'm the treasurer of the group, I stayed pretty busy all weekend and this past week. I usually don't finish for a least a month because I have to wait on the utility bills and such. Unfortunately, we didn't do as well as usual because we moved it to Mother's Day and the people just didn't come out. Fair and festivals are a big part of South Louisiana and ours celebrates the food of the people or "Fete du Monde".<br />
<br />
Meanwhile I did receive a <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">perfectly PINK package</span> in the mail from <a href="http://jessicarodarte.blogspot.com/">Jess at Kids Napping? I'm</a><br />
<a href="http://jessicarodarte.blogspot.com/">Scrapping</a>! Jess does the most beautiful tags, swaps and ATC's. I had participated in a <a href="http://jessicarodarte.blogspot.com/2009/07/red-white-and-blue-tag-swap.html">Red, White and Blue Book Tag swap</a> a couple of summers ago and love my Patriotic Book! She had a blog birthday and did a pink giveaway and my comment won!! A beautiful Mother's Day surprise. Just look at all these goodies. I can't tell you my favorite but that little bird pin is adorable! I'll have so much fun just looking at all these things!! Isn't her packaging darling too?<br />

I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day and has another beautiful weekend. We finally got some rain (and of course, are expecting record rising waters for the next few weeks) and I think summer weather is here. See y'all!<br />

It was nasty and full of holes from years of use and abuse. (I think I bought it in 1987, the same year I got my sewing machine).<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>I love bloggers!! From them I got the idea to make my own fabric using selvedges. So much fun and so much color! I used a piece of muslin to trace the back and seat and filled up the area with selvedges and a few pieces of polka dot fabrics. I couldn't undo the seat part so I pushed the piece in with a screwdriver. The back came off and I wrapped that piece around and hot glued it before I put it back together. Now I have a comfy, beautiful chair!</div><div><br />
