Enjoying Summer & W.I.P.

Only a few more days left of summer and though Autumn is my favorite season, I'm going to miss summer.

I wasn't the only one enjoying the fading warmth, it's already getting colder at night. I had to put an extra blanket on the bed.
W.I.P.
Finished Ms. Librarian, she's going to be part of a book bag, now I just need to find some fabric.

24 more candles for the wedding, just waiting for A. to wake up to get a start on these ( all the candle making paraphernalia is in his room).
Yours in a constant state of motion ,
T.

55 days and counting

With the wedding near at hand, school, & work my postings are getting few and far between! Soo many things to do with so little time:\

-50 more baby food jars
-25 + 50 more candles
-30 center pieces
-Wedding license
- thank you gifts for friends that are helping
-collect all the projects others are helping with
- weekly homework for both classes including reading a 650pg book in 24 days with ch. summerys!
-work wanting over time
-Camping trip next weekend

All this and still trying to remember to thank the powers that be every day for giving me such a wonderful partner and love.

W.I.P. Wednesday ... Sort of

Here's my W.I.P., except it's done so I guess it's not in progress =o)



A present for a friend, made with love, hope she likes it. Neck pillow and rainbow catcher made by me.

Acid!

Sorry been out for the past few days with an upset stomach. Really sucks but hopefully I've found out how to deal with it. I spent Wednesday in the E.R., the acid was so bad I though for sure I had a ulcer or something! Well they didn't check for that, so I need to make an appt. with my actual Dr. if this persists. They just took a blood test, gave me a really nasty tasting G.I. cocktail, and sent me home with a note for my boss and an order to take prylosec. I felt better yesterday, but then again I didn't eat much yesterday. Today will be the real test. Let you know how it goes.

Fudge & sexy librarians

I've been promising A. that I would make fudge for weeks, months even. This morning I felt ambitious and with our weekly employee meeting at work tomorrow I thought I would finally come through. The recipie is one my mother use to make when I was a little girl and it was one of the first things I remember helping her make ( the pot requires a lot of stirring perfect for little ones that want to help). I think my mom told me it was a family recipie but I'm not sure.
So to turn this:Into this:
Just do this:

Mom's Fudge

4cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup coco
1/3 cup milk
1/2 cup butter
a pinch of salt

Sift all dry ingredients together. Melt butter in a double boiler and slowly add dry ingredients with a whisk, stirring regularly to keep fudge smooth. About half way through add the milk. When all ingredients are combined pour onto a buttered or wax paper covered plate and refrigerate. Let the fudge cool for a few hours ( you can put it in the frezzer if you want to speed the process along, but it sets a little funny).
Enjoy!

W.I.P. Wednesday

I've been working on a solstice present for a friend of mine, who I'm pretty sure doesn't read this blog. She works in a Library so when I found this pattern,http://sublimestitching.com/sexylibrarians.html, from Sublime Stitching, I though it would be perfect for a new book bag!
