Maddie's BIG girl room...

It is a sad day indeed....my sweet girl Maddie is growing up soon to be 5. She is coming into her own and has decided she needs a big girl room. And this big girl room needs to be up stairs with her brother. Much to my dismay...she may be right. I have a sneaky suspicion my troubles have just begun!!!


Inspired by Michael Millers Sea Beauties we're off and running.



I made a pattern to match the fabric...trying not to make it to difficult to hand applique.



Pieced it.



Hand (sewing machine really)appliquéd her...Surprisingly it looks like a mermaid pillow.



Viola...Maddie's very happy with it. I'm off to begin machine appliquéing blocks for the quilt, curtains and MORE pillows.

Mare's Salsa.....YuMMO

It's official...My mother-in-law is the worlds best cook! I wanted to share this recipe on my blog because frankly I'm sick of writing down.

1 Large Can of Whole Tomatoes
1 to 2 Chipotles*
1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 1/2 Teaspoon Cumin
1 1/2 Teaspoon of red vinegar
1 Teaspoon Season Salt
Cilantro** to taste

Blend in Blender, grab a bag of Tostitos scoops and enjoy!!

*Use canned chipotles. The cans have a lot in them so I put the unused portions on a plate and freeze them, once their frozen I place them in a ziplock bag for future use.

**I use the whole bunch! Put this in last as it will jam up your blender.

Yeilds about 2 or 3 cups. I freeze in servable size containers for a quick snack!
