Summer Quilting Camp {And Another Giveaway}!

I've been anxious to write and tell you all about my Summer Quilting Camp that I taught to five awesome girls!  I wrote a post about it here where I blog for MaryJanesFarm.  It was such an awesome experience for me and I wanted to write a blog post to tell you all about it.  But I submitted an article to MaryJanesFarm Magazine and was keeping my fingers crossed that it would make the magazine... so I was waiting on that!

A Pinnie A Day {And A Giveaway!}

Hello Friends!  It's been cool and rainy here the last couple days and it's feeling a little bit like Fall.  For those of you that know me, you know that I love summer so when it starts feeling like Fall, I start getting a little sad! Our flowers sort of shut down in the cool rain, so we are hoping for some warm sunshine to get them blooming again and carry us through some big events that have reserved flowers from us this month. But... even though every day is super busy with flower farming and all other summertime fun things (like a week long trip to the beach!) I participated in a fun little challenge on Instagram called the Pinnie Parade.

GIVEAWAY CLOSED!

Congratulations to our IG winner Margie!

Just Add Lettuce!

I am such a lover of salads.  It is a rare day that I don't have some sort of green salad for either lunch or supper.

As I was putting together a Sunday Chef Salad it was so pretty I found myself snapping pictures from my phone.  Then, I took this platter of Chef Salad fixings to my daughter and surprised her family with it for lunch.  And she proceeded to take pictures.  (Are we bloggers or what?!)  So, I deemed it blog worthy!  Here is what I put together on my favorite huge enamelware platter:

Ironing Board Cover {Make One!}

How many of you are like me... your ironing board cover is gross and so you go to Walmart and then Target looking for just the right cute new cover?  And there is nothing there that is even remotely appealing?  (You know what is coming right?)  I thought, "What?  Why am I not making my own ironing board cover?  It can't be that hard!"  And I'm here to tell you it is EASY.  And I mean seriously easy.  So here is a tutorial for you so that you can make your own darling cover to match your sewing room.  Or your laundry room.  Or whatever room you iron in!  And believe me when I tell you that it makes ironing a lot more fun to have a cute board cover!

Lets get started!
