Yarn stash

This one gave me a good laugh!  

Button Flowers

I have posted about these before, cute button flowers my sister Linda makes.  Her version are 7inches or so long built on florists wire and in a vase.  These cuties are done on a much smaller scale and their "vase" is a wooden spool.  How cute are these?

We think they would also be cute with vintage fabric wrapped around the spool..........the possibilities are endless. 

Flanders' fields the poppies blow, Between the crosses, row on row

Land of the free because of the brave.  Memorial weekend is upon us, laying flowers on the graves of our loved ones and all who fought for our Freedom.  I love this poem.  Have a great weekend everyone.

You Go First

You go first.............how many leaps of Faith do we take in a lifetime?

Corn Cakes

A good alternative to heating up the house to bake cornbread is corn cakes.  Around our house we love beans and cornbread, really a staple for us ( as you can see Mr. Outdoors likes his with hot peppers) and so healthy too.  I found the corn cake recipe on line and will be using it again for sure.  Lots of bad storms last night and tornados everywhere in Kansas and Shawnee, Oklahoma was hit very hard, they are in our thoughts and prayers.

Idaho potatoes...yes please

It's been a very warm Saturday here in Kansas, not complaining mind you but still warm.  Canned 17 pints of potatoes today, bought them for 10 cents a pound a week ago and am just now getting around to getting them canned.  We sure do enjoy them, already cooked and ready to fry mash or add to our stew.  They sure were huge, came from Idaho.

Monarch Pass has snow this evening........
