A Lil' Heart Quilt

I have been so proud of myself lately. I've actually been making some of the billion things that I pin on Pinterest boards. Yea for me! 

I finally tried the "One-Pan Enchillada Pasta" recipe...which the children were all afraid of. It turned out like a much higher quality hamburger helper dish. Everyone liked it except for James...who threw up when he tried to eat it. That's not so much a comment on the dish, as it is on his sensitive gag reflex. James generally eats peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for dinner, regardless of what the rest of us are eating.

When it was time for the cub scout dessert auction, I let Jon look through my "Yum" board for ideas.

I tried to steer him toward highly tasty desserts instead of highly decorative ones (which do actually sell better.) He chose Salted Caramel Cheesecake Bars (that I won in the auction!...and yes, they were amazing) and a Grasshopper Pie.(I doubled that recipe, so we're having it for dessert tonight.)

My "Quilt Ideas" board is also getting some use.

Cozy went to a friend's birthday party last weekend, and I managed to eek out enough time to make a gift.

Her friend said her favorite colors are red and orange, so I made her this little doll quilt with some scraps left over from Hannah's quilt and a little fabric from my stash.

Yes, I think I'm still in a valentines mood.

Besides, I wanted a pattern that made the fabrics girly enough for a 5-year-old girl.

I'm dying to make twenty more of these....or just one big quilt with lots of hearts.

We'll see what comes of that impulse.

Anyhow, this lil' darling was inspired by "Emily's Heart Quilt".

All tied up and ready to go.

...and there ya' go...Pinterest is no longer just a waste of my time. ;)
