Hi Robin,
I love this jam, but it seems to be a seasonal item at Costco. I have not been able to find it even on the E.D Smith website. If you find some, stock up on it!
Good Luck,
Tracey
P.B & BCRBOJ Sandwich
You can never go wrong with a yummy P.B & J and a tall glass of milk for lunch, especially when you have Black Cherry Raspberry Blood Orange Jam! For a few weeks now I have been eyeing this very large jar of E.D. Smith jam at Costco, but never got the guts to buy it...you know, in case it wa...
Hi Lauren,
I found the music box at a thrift store. The only markings I can find on the box are on the wind-up, it says LAUREL. Im sorry that I cant be more of a help to you, but my suggestion would be to use Stuff Alert to find this on Ebay. Good Luck!

Home Sweet Home
I found this sweet jewelry box while thrifting bright and early this morning! Take a peek inside..Isn't it the cutest thing you've ever seen? I'm not sure of the tune, but my little ballerina dances beautifully! Happy Weekend!
Hi Valerie,
I have not finished this. It is pretty time consuming, but will be totally worth it in the end! I have been working on this going on two years now (off and on). I still have 5 more houses to stitch up and then piece everything together. It is an enormous quilt. I love all the details in this quilt as well as other Crabapple Hill kits...so worth the money!
Good Luck and Happy Stitching,
Tracey
Welcome To Hocuspocusville...Part Deux!
I have not been very good at posting as much as I would like to lately...so sorry! I wish I could say it's because I have been busy sewing and creating super cool things, but the truth is...I'm just in lazy, sick mode right now! *A-choo *Sniffle* Sniffle* I apologize for the coloring in some of ...
Hi Lynne,
I believe the face transfer was not as dark as I wanted it to be, so I enhanced it with regular crayola crayons. I ironed the transfer on and then matched the colors in the eyes and lips and colored on the fabric. I also outlined the lips and possibly eyelashes with a Fabrico fabric marker. These are great because they dont bleed on the fabric. After coloring, turn the fabric over and press on a piece of paper to set the colors. I added some make-up blush with a paint brush, but you could easily color in cheeks with crayons.
I bought the Fabrico markers here:http://store.valueweb.com/servlet/jukeboxquilts/Categories
Sophies hair is LionBrand Homespun yarn. It ravels with play, so I tied a small knot at the end of each strand to keep the wavy look. When it unravels it looks like the horses hair here: http://www.gigglefacestudios.com/giggleface_studios/2009/04/sophies-homestead-dress-3-mccalls-m4333.html
I really enjoyed making this doll, and is a great first doll project. Good luck!

Sophie & Her Everyday Clothes #1 (McCalls 4186)
*Sophie measures approximately 18" tall* This is Sophie, my newest doll that I have been working on over the past week, and after a multitude of interruptions I finally finished her! She turned out so cute, and no sooner had I laid her down, she was whisked upstairs by my daughter to play. ...
Thanks Helen, That is very kind of you!
Water Drops in the Grass
Hi Tina,
This recipe is from Martha Stewart: http://www.marthastewart.com/336491/smores-cookies
It was good, especially right out of the oven, but not as good the next day. I suggest you heat them in the microwave before eating.
S'more Please!

HI BlessedCP,
I got that chicken fabric at Joanns about a year ago. I got everything that was left on the bolt (a little less than a yard) It is one of those prints that is specifically made for Joanns. If you cant find it in the store you might want to try ebay or etsy. Happy quilting!
Pinwheels & Polka Dots
I'm working on a new quilt with pinwheels and polka dots... and I'm so giddy about these fabrics together! Isn't this the cutest chicken fabric ever...I took every last bit left on the bolt!

The Egg Carton of Curiosities...A Tutorial
When I used to home-school my kids, I was always on the lookout for learning tools and crafts in magazines and books. I came across this fun idea in my Family Fun Magazine, and made a smaller version for my kids to use. They really enjoyed playing with it, and realized quickly that one was not ...
