Happy Easter!

I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Easter!

Breakfast Casserole

Easter is almost here, so I thought I would share one of my FAVORITE breakfast/brunch recipes. You can prep this the night before and pop in the oven Easter morning. YUMMY!

Dyeing yarn for Easter

Easter is on it's way and look what I've found......Easter egg dyes!!! (this post will explain my excitement) Am I gonna dye eggs? NOPE, I'm gonna dye YARN!

Tropical Banana Nut Bread

I've adapted one of my favorite Banana Nut Bread recipes to use the Sweet Bread Mix. I love how the mix speeds up the prep time in a recipe. Oh, sure, you have the time spent making the mix. That time is so -o-o-o-o worth it to me!

Cranberry Applesauce Muffins

As promised, the first recipe using Sweet Bread Mix. These are FABULOUS muffins. Not too sweet, with a nice appley flavor.

"Thyme" Saving Baking Mixes

Let me start by saying that I STRONGLY dislike this whole time- changing thing! Changing from Standard time to Daylight savings time this week has greatly tampered with my universe. It's NOT just losing an hour. It's the whole disruption of my sleep cycles. I'm losing HOURS of sleep and I am NOT happy about that! I say choose one....Standard time, Daylight savings time , or split the difference by a half an hour. I don't care. Just pick a time and stick with it!

Basic Nine Patch Quilt Block

I've been sewing a few quilt blocks lately (see this post & this post ). I know that not everyone has a lot of experience in quilt block assembly. So, for all the beginners (or those who just want to brush up on the basics) I've decided to do a VERY basic tutorial on quilt block assembly.

Maple Leaf Quilt Block

I've had a renewed interest in quilting (see this post). While going through my fabric stash, I found these four finished Maple leaf blocks. Obviously, I was going to do SOMETHING with them, just not sure what.

Quilt Blocks of the Month

I've been quilting (off & on) for almost 30 years now. For some reason, though, I've never done a (quilt) Block of the Month. I've done LOTS of Crochet Blocks of the Month. It's a great way to try different techniques with not a big time commitment. You only have to make one per month!
