Tips for Happy House Plants
When it comes to outdoor landscapes, January has a lot to be desired. Brown, mushy lawns, dead leaves, and garden beds that need to be pulled up to get ready for spring planting. It's not my favorite time of year to be outside, but that doesn't mean that I can still be surrounded by beautiful plants and flowers. I picked up the latest issue of Sunset magazine from Safeway and absolutely loved this month's "In the Sunset Garden" section. I enjoyed a bit of "me time", sipped on my ...

Cotton + Steel “Cheerio” Quilt
This quilt was a labor of love for my ever growing boy, Dallin. I made quilts for the kids' birthdays last year and finished them all in time except for his. I told him I'd make his eventually, and he was ok with that. 5 months later it is now draped across his bed, and he loves it! I do too. He has always loved the color blue...hence the mass amounts of it in this quilt! I made it slightly smaller than the pattern. There are 35 (11.25") squares of alternating Cotton + Steel fabrics mixed ... Read More about Cotton + Steel “Cheerio” Quilt

Their bedroom isn't themed, but it is a representation of the things that they love: reading, fishing, Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts, Star Wars, and science. (Details on this Arrow of ...
