Ramblin' Rose

My sister-in-law is a huge quilter and talked me into making this quilt with her. It is titled "Ramblin' Rose." It was block a month deal - for the decorated squares. The class ended a year and a half ago. So, since school has been out - I got to working on finishing this project. I am giving it to my mom for her birthday. I am just glad to be done with it.

Cake Balls

I have discovered cake balls. They are really easy and good to eat, though super sweet. I made the smiley face pops for my kids for the last day of school. They loved them. They were a little time consuming, but I think they turned out really cute. They were chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting, dipped in yellow chocolate.


I made these cake balls for my nephew's baptism. They were yellow cake with yellow frosting, dipped in white chocolate with a lemon drizzle. They were a little more difficult to make, I used a different white chocolate. They aren't as perfect as I would have liked, but they still tasted really good. These were even more time consuming. They are so cute, but I need to keep practicing to find the most efficient way, but then again - who has time for that?

Strawberry Jam

I love jam - especially the homemade kind. Strawberries were on sale at one of my favorite stores Sunflower Farmers Market. I decided I was getting low, and with strawberries for only $.88 each, I couldn't go wrong. My little sister came down and we made terrific batch. I just need some home made bread to go with it. Hmm.... that sounds good. Think I will make some for dinner. YUM.

Vietnam Veterans Memorial Moving Wall

Over the Memorial Weekend, Leavitt Mortuary in Ogden had the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Moving Wall. We decided to go check it out. It is just a replica and only half the size. It was amazing to see. To see that many names is incredible. It was a beautiful afternoon, and the cemetery was gorgeous with all the flowers.
