Road Trip Muffins

Last night my son and I made muffins for our road trip this weekend.  I LOVE a good road trip.

Last weekend I had to run a few errands one of which included groceries.

Now there is a grocery/everything store that I HATE, but unfortunately it has good prices and everything I needed.  So, I decided to face my challenge and go to the only one I can tolerate, the one in St. Albert.

While at this _ _ _ _ _ store I found taste of home Bakeshop favorites for a really awesome price.

Did I purchase it?  Of course.

This is the recipe for Raspberry Jam Muffins (I added 2 tbsp Chia seed).

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

Road Trip Block 5

Allow me to introduce Road Trip Block 5 of my Disappearing Four Patch Blocks.

This block is rather appropriate for today as I will make about 600 miles by the end of today : )

I LOVE a good road trip.  

Of course that will mean I have to stop at some of my favorite quilt shops along the way, but please remember it is important to take regular breaks along the way to fill the car, yourself, clean out the car, yourself.....so it's actually healthy to have a plan to stop every couple of hours at quilt stores ; )

Hope you have a safe, fun and great long weekend!

Flower Box

Last night my son and I planted the flower box beside the doorstep.

There is the rest of the Pelargonium's, the left over Alyssum's, a couple of Cape Daisy, and the fun yellow flower at the end, that I have no idea what it is called, but I thought it was pretty.

My little Travelocity Gnome stands guard of all of this.

Doorstep Flower Pots

Last night after dinner, my son and I planted these Pelargoniums (Regal Geraniums).

I love these flowers.  Since they are not true geraniums, they do not have that awful smell ; ).

I think that they look pretty.

Welcome Spring!

Strawberry Garden

My son's school comes up with what I think are some really neat fundraisers.  We never have to sell chocolates or magazines (things that people buy from us and we feel sorry for).

At Christmas they sell Poinsettia plants and this spring in an effort to raise funds for the new hardwood gymnasium floor the school sold plants.  One of the items was strawberries.

Since I live in the city, I do not have a garden, so I had to find some way to plant these.  After much looking about the city  I was able to find at Kuhlmann's greenhouse, ceramic, not painted, not made in a questionable country: strawberry planters. 

This evening after piano and dinner, this is what we did!

Happy Growing little strawberries.  Yes, they are also planted in "organic" (I know all dirt is organic - but pesticide and herbicide free) soil!

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

Oh S"crap"! It's Monday...

Here is Step 5 of my Plenty of Fish Facebook Mystery Quilt for my second quilt!  Done just in time again, although there is a second part of this, but even I should be able to have that one done by the end of the week.

Still using up on scraps for this project.  Should be able to smuggle in some more fabric if I can clean out enough of my scraps ; )

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day Everyone!

Yesterday my son and I went to Wallish Greenhouse.  

While there we came across this Princess Lily, and we thought it would look perfect in the planer in front of our house.

Today we planted it, along with a couple of leftover Alyssum's.  I think it will look really pretty this summer.

Hope this inspires your own creativity...
