The fabric I'd really like for the spiral dress

Rose, and roses on green! That would be so pretty!

Pumpkin Fail

It looked like a pumpkin. It weighed a ton. I opened it up in all
innocence, not using any discrimination skills on the color of its
flesh. Only after baking it into a pie did I notice that all was not
pumpkin. Oh well, squash pie still tastes pretty good with whipped
cream :-)

My happy place

Next pillow, Irish Chain

That one went together easily and came out great!






And y'know what? The previous three color denim pillow's already gone. Sis gave Dave $20 for it :-)
So I've bought another pillow and got to make Dave a new one.
The pillows are just regular bed pillows @ $3! The small square kind like you get for a couch are $8, phooey on that.

Flying Squares Patchwork Pillow Cover

The girls threw white, black and blue jeans in the giveaway bag all at once, and I saw them together and couldn't resist.
Had yet another learning experience. "Flying Squares" looked easy until I tried it. Ha!



Back of pillow, more recycling :-)



Carob Blobs

The thing with carob is to just get chocolate out of your head. It's not chocolate, it's not a chocolate substitute either. It's just a nice-tasting brown bean ground to powder that's good for you (just like chocolate is!)

CAROB HONEY BLOBS

2 eggs
1/2 cup butter
1 - 3/4 cups honey
3 - 3/4 cup flour
2 tsp soda
1 cup carob

I dropped by ice cream scooper onto cookie sheets and baked at 350 for 15 minutes.

FROSTING

2 packages cream cheese
2 big mixing spoon scoops of carob powder
1/2 cup honey
2 TBSP butter
2 tsp vanilla

The boys said, "This is way better than some kinds of ice cream we've had before, but not better than all kinds."
