Would you please post the lemon poppy seed bread recipe?

this is so awe some! pretty soon you can assign your husband with the task of picking up ammo at the gun shop or big 5, or WM if they still carry ammo in your store. That puts them in the sporting goods section... grab the receipts you can return some of the silly stuff they come home with.

Necie is the Queen of fishing! to watch her go out and in a half hour come back with 15 fish!!! then to watch her filet them.... and to watch her fliet a chicken.. silly girl! HUG! gracie is beautiful.

"You don't have a soul. You are a Soul. You have a body." I wish more would embrace this philosophy. Perhaps as their life draws to a close here, they wouldn't be so afraid to leave.

Oh my goodness! a sleep walker! cute but scary too. This is where a dog comes in handy. Sword and Bow? oh my, the Samurai and the Archer! Walks through MM's house.. It is ME.. don't shoot! it's ME! just getting a drink of water... ROFL!!!

Stephanie, this makes a great sewing project. I can be an apron and bonnet and if worn, bringing the corners up and buttoned at the waist... a great gathering apron.

for those wanting to make an apron/bonnet this is the pattern I have... http://tipnut.com/vintage-apron-bonnet-pattern/ Vintage Apron Bonnet Pattern Vintage Apron Bonnet PatternEarlier this week I promised a unique vintage apron pattern and here it is. It’s from Women’s Household Magazine, July 1968–nearly 40 years old! It’s something I haven’t come across before. It’s an apron with two pockets. Or you can use it as a clothespin holder. Or you can button it up into a bonnet. I think the wide rick-rack dates the item and I’d prefer something a little more updated looking–but we’re talking about a bonnet. Not quite sure how to achieve that ‘2007′ look . I guess that’s where personal creativity comes into play. You can download the pattern as a pdf file by clicking n the link above. The description: * This unique apron can be put to many uses, first of all it’s an apron. It has two large pockets which could hold your sewing or knitting while you work; could serve as a clothespin holder also. Best of all, it buttons into the cutest bonnet to shade your face while working in the garden. for a child..... http://sunbonnetsue.com/april2001.html

National Sea Kitten Month??? oh brother! ROFL!!! save the sea kittens!

I have u/l the information and how to find this stuff on her site. It is a really pretty blanket! you can make it any size you want.

Baby Blanket I am going to make this baby blanket out of white fleece and baby blue ribbon I bought a June Tailor "Fancy Ruler" to make the slits and scallops. I love the elegant look. from http://www.junetailor.com (left click creative center, then scroll down to Project sheets, scroll down to fleece projects) (From creativity then to project instructions to learn to use her rulers) I have the JT-783 Fancy Fleece™ Ruler Fancy Fleece™ No-Sew Blanket Materials: 1 yard Blue Fleece Fabric 1 yard Green Fleece Fabric 8 yards 15/16” White Grosgrain Ribbon June Tailor® Fancy Fleece™ Ruler Rotary Cutter Rotary Cutting Mat Instructions: Cut both pieces of fleece to measure 35” x 54”. With wrong sides together, layer the two pieces of fleece matching edges. Pin the two pieces of fleece together if desired to keep them from moving while continuing to work on your blanket. Beginning with the 35” blanket width, draw a line 3” up from edge. Aligning the printed line of the “slit cuts” section of your Fancy Fleece™ Ruler with the 3” line you drew, begin cutting slits 5” in from the outside edge through both layers of fabric. Continue cutting the 1” long slits, 1” apart across width of blanket, stopping 5” from opposite edge. You should have a total of 26 slits cut. You must have an even number of slits cut. Repeat for opposite width of blanket. Draw a line 3” up from edge of 54” length of blanket. Aligning the printed line of the “slit cuts” section of your Fancy Fleece™ Ruler with the 3” line you drew, begin cutting slits 5 1/2” in from the outside edge through both layers of fabric. Continue cutting the 1” long slits, 1” apart across width of blanket, stopping 5 1/2” from opposite edge. You should have a total of 44 slits cut. You must have an even number of slits cut. Repeat for opposite length of blanket. Cut grosgrain ribbon into 2 pieces measuring 62” for the width of the blanket and 2 pieces measuring 82” for the length of the blanket. Beginning at one corner, weave ribbon over and under slits making sure that ends appear at the same side of the blanket. Repeat ribbon weaving for all sides of your blanket, again making sure that all ends appear on the same side. Tie ribbon ends into bows at each corner. Fold blanket in half lengthwise. Place the straight edge adjacent to the wavy edge portion of the Fancy Fleece™ Ruler, on the fold of your blanket. With the entire wavy edge of the ruler appearing just inside the blanket edge, cut through all four layers of fleece. Press ruler down firmly on your fabric to avoid movement. Lift ruler and align with previously cut waves and continue cutting to the corner. Repeat for opposite side of blanket. Open blanket and fold in half widthwise. Repeat same process that was used to wavy cut the width of your blanket to cut the lengths. Remove any pins that were used to hold your blanket layers together Creativity Center . . .

I have a Holiday Tree. The kids bought me a 3 foot tall white Christmas Tree so I can decorate year round. I bought all sorts of trimmings after Christmas for $0.25 cents, in red, green, orange, and blue. I was hoping to get pastel colors but have to wait for Easter. My intent is to decorate it each month with what ever holiday falls in that month. The months without holidays are June and August, January if you don't count New Years Day/Month. This is going to be my fun monthly hobby, decorating my tree! . . . . . . . . . .

I am lost.. pushing buttons... doing the wrong thing... but it landed me here so all the button pushing can't be all bad!
