Picture Share – Nisqually Wildlife Refuge and Fort Worden State Historical Park

Posted on March 21, 2024 | 14 comments

The Hubster and I drove to the west coast to visit our son and his family.

The weather was so gorgeous and we had a great time visiting and getting our family loves.

I am sharing a few scenic photos from two of the places that we enjoyed while we were on the coast.

Enjoy!

The boardwalk is 2 miles one way if you walk all the way out (we did).

A friend expressed interest in these Twin Barns…she wanted to know more, and I did answer her (you can read this in the comments for this post). If you would like to know more about the barns and the refuge, I am editing this post to include the following links.

Bread Baking

Posted on March 5, 2024 | 16 comments

How can a nation be great if its bread tastes like Kleenex? – American TV chef and author Julia Child

Crusty White Stone Baked Bloomer Bread

Let there be work, bread, water and salt for all. -Nelson Mandela

Poppy Seed and Rye Bread

If thou tastest a crust of bread, thou tastest all the stars and all the heavens. -Robert Browning

Sweet Potato and Feta Cheese Bloomer Bread

Rather a piece of bread with a happy heart than wealth with grief. -Egyptian Proverb

Cous Cous Plait Rolls Bread

In the Lord’s Prayer, the first petition is for daily bread. No one can worship God or love his neighbor on an empty stomach. -Woodrow Wilson

Banana Chocolate Chip Bread

I joined the Homebakers Club last month and these are some of the fruits of my labor.

One of the best ways to meet my new neighbors has always been when I have taken them a fresh loaf of bread and introduced myself. Last Christmas I shared fresh bread with neighbors.

Do you enjoy baking?

Have fun and carry on!

Chookshed Stitchers 2024 Challenge – March

Posted on March 1, 2024 | 19 comments

I joined up with the Chookshed Stitchers 2024 Challenge for the motivation to move projects forward, and perhaps even finish a few. So far, this has been fun and very doable.

Participants publicly posted a list of 10 numbered projects. Each month a number is drawn, and the corresponding project is worked on. There are linkups where projects can be posted and participants can cheer one another on.

In January, number 6 was drawn. My number 6 was a Santa project, and you can see that post by clicking here.

Santa Door Draft

In February, number 2 was drawn. I moved my 365 Monster quilt forward in progress, and that felt good. You can see that post by clicking here.

365 Challenge

This month, March, the number 4 was drawn. You can see my full list of projects by clicking here, but my number 4 is to sew pajama bottoms.

I have had this fabric for maybe 2 years, maybe longer. Time to sew it up!

Pajamas

I don’t know how much of each piece of yardage that I have, but it will be enough for two pairs of pajama bottoms. I don’t bother making the tops since I prefer a plain t-shirt and they can be inexpensive to buy.

I am linking up at Dreamworthy Quilts. Come on over to see other participants!

Have fun and carry on!
