Whoopie Pies !!!

I grew up in Western Pennsylvania where there is wonderful Amish community. My fondest memories of visiting my friends Mary and Noah were the Whoopie Pies !   Sitting at their table sharing giggles with their children is something I'll never forget.

Make your own memories with this wonderful collection of Whoopie Pie recipes !

So this is what happens

Every year in the Christmas season I wondered why didn't I start sooner on Christmas presents, next year will be different. I think we all thought with this blog to keep us going we'd have a closet full of presents already. I don't but I'm sure somebody out there does.
So what happened to my plans? I always find I can sew and craft like crazy right after Christmas and the month of January because I'm still in the Christmas spirit. We forget that after Christmas we have birthday presents, Valentine stuff, Easter or spring outfits and working on Christmas presents falls to the back burner or gets turned all the way off.
Each month I think I can make something to put on the blog and than the month has passed and it's whoops that didn't happen. I haven't even had time to get on Sewing Mama's lately. We have 6 months till Christmas and I will try to at least make something each month. (hopefully) !! What about you? How is your Christmas closet?

Late March Doings.

Rag quilt

This month was comfort and joy so I'm barely squeaking this post in before March. A couple years ago I took apart a blue jean quilt I made for my oldest daughter (but never finished) and made it into a rag quilt. A quilt I had for over ten weeks was finally done in a week. Anyway while trying to clean my sewing mess I came across about 8-10 leftover squares, so of course if I used them in a project they'd no longer be in my mess. Two weeks later I finished this blue jean rag quilt. Well it's all finished except for the cutting to rag it, but hey it's all sewed together. Now the question is: Do I give it away for Christmas or will it find it's way to the back of the couch?
