I finally got my “Primitive Garden” Quilt finished after about 2.5 years!!! I love everything about this quilt and I am so glad that I took this challenge on, when I had never even done any wool applique projects before!
Read MoreToday I have the fun little Baby Boy Quilt that I quilted on my trip to Canada! This was a simple quilt to put together. I did not have a pattern…just cut out 5.5″ squares and put them in a design and added a couple of borders.
Read MoreToday, I decided that I would take you on a tour of my summer porch. I love this part of my home and I want it to be a welcoming place to all those who come to visit! So, welcome to my summer porch!

Hey everyone! Happy October! I love the fall time with the cooler weather and the leaves changing colors and that it is finally sweater weather!
However, here in Utah…it is not quite sweater weather yet…it has been in the 90’s!!! But we will get there.
Sept 2024 Ministering Handout
Happy September everyone! Are you ready for fall? I know I am. We have had a very hot summer and I am ready for a cool down!
This month I found a fun little item at Trader Joe’s and knew that I wanted to use it in my ministering handout. It is gummy Bacon and Eggs…and no they do not taste like bacon and eggs, they are cherry and mango! They are sooo yummy!

Well, here we are “Rollin’ into August! Where does the time go? I guess it just flies by when you are having fun, right?!
August is always a busy month with back to school, last minute vacations, canning, and yard work, but I love it! I have been having fun with my yard this year with the flowers that I planted from seeds in my greenhouse last winter. I have learned a lot and it seems like gardening is a lot of trial and error…but that is what is fun about it!

Happy July everyone! Hope your summer is going great! We are HOT here is Utah, but what do we expect when we live in a desert?!
I love July because we get to celebrate the freedom of our country on the 4th and we also get to celebrate the Pioneers coming to Utah on the 24th! Two fantastic reasons to celebrate! I have my flags out in my flower pots,
I am waving my star quilt in my house,
and I got to attend our little local parade last week with the flag leading the way! We have so many reasons to celebrate our freedom.

Let the Summer begin! I am ready…are you?
This month for the June 2024 ministering handout, I chose the talk from Susan H. Porter: “Pray, He Is There”. Don’t you love this quote:
“When you know that Heavenly Father is real and that He loves you, you can live with courage and hope!”
Given that it’s summer, I wanted, sunshine-inspired colors to brighten everyone’s day.
Another month has already gone by, which means it is time for the May 2024 Ministering Handout.
May always seems to be such a busy month, and it is holding true for us again this year. Besides all of the end of school activities, we have a wedding, lots and lots of doctor appointments, spring cleaning and remodeling, and baseball games! Whew! Busy but exciting times.

April 2024 Ministering Handouts
Happy April everyone! Hope you are all doing well and looking forward to conference…I know I am! Since Easter has already passed, I decided to go with an April Showers theme! I also knew that I wanted to do something on service, so this is what I came up with!
March 2024 Ministering Handouts
Where oh where did February go???? It just seemed to slip by in the blink of an eye and it is already time for the March ministering handouts! 
Easter is in March this year, so I knew that I wanted to do something with a quote on the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Here is what I came up with…not one quote…but two! (more…)
Feb 2024 Ministering Handout
Happy February everyone! I hope that all is well with you and you are all getting ready to welcome spring! Well, at least those of you who live where spring is just around the corner! I am so excited to get out in my greenhouse and start planting flower seeds! This will be my first year of using my greenhouse for this purpose! So wish me luck!
Jan. 2024 Ministering Handouts
Well…hello new year!
Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas season, and you are now ready for a NEW YEAR! I love new beginnings and new possibilities! It seems like a great way to start out a new year! In a world filled with despair and wickedness, with problems and pain, we should strive more than ever to have hope.
So, for my Jan. 2024 Ministering Handouts I wanted to bring out the value of hope! This is going to be my word or emphasis for this year. We all can strive to have greater hope!
