Summer Laundry

Ahh, the simple joys of summer! I love hanging clothes up on the line outside. Not only does it smell so clean and fresh, not only does it save on that darn energy bill. . .but it also gives me an excuse to be outside while doing some of my chores.

Rainy Day Quilting

Here in Wisconsin it has been raining for five days straight! But don't despair, I have some quilting to do.

I plugged in a little Private Practice and had a great/relaxing afternoon of quilting and catching up on Private Practice (great show, by the way). I got 15 of my 40 squares done. I'll show you the final project in a week or two.

Ahh, the joys of a rainy day.

Dough Raising

This evening we had the opportunity to participate in a "Dough Raising" event sponsored by Papa Murphy's in Beloit. We handed out fliers to patrons which promoted Papa Murphy's and in return we were given 20% of all orders that were taken tonight. The proceeds are going to our Relay for Life team which is sponsored by the American Cancer Society.

So. . .Jon and I splurged. Not only did we enjoy a yummy taco pizza but we bought some of their cookie dough! We created our very own cookie and ice cream creations (mimicked after a favorite dessert in the Twin Cities). What a simple treat--cookie dough in our little cast iron skillets, add some ice cream and chocolate syrup and you get some amazingly delicious creations!

New blog. . .New recipes!

Welcome to my brand new blog!

As I started working on my previous blog (thecluelesscrafter.blogspot.com) I realized that I'm not much of a crafter! Instead, I enjoy cooking, reading, chatting, . . .and trying my hand at a few crafts. I'm hoping this blog will share some of my other interests.

Jon and I have had appetizers for dinner a couple of times in the past few weeks. I'm totally loving it! A few nights ago we made up Prosciutto and Gorgonzola crostini. They were delicious! Thank you Real Simple for the idea! We've also been enjoying ham wraps, bruschetta and a ton of fresh fruit. Yum!
