I just love it when I am in the right place at the right time. That is exactly what happened the other day. I was on Facebook, like I am most evenings and Betsy of The Dainty Daisy was looking for a few crochet pattern testers. I completely lucked out and was one of the first people to comment.
I didn't know what I would be making but I had the supplies that she requested. I was beyond excited when I got an email with the pattern to test after about an hour. I didn't have any patterns for a baby cocoon and here I got one for free to test! Yippee for me! To make it even better, the cocoon was rippled. I just love ripples!

Vinegar: Its many uses!
The other day I needed to stock up on some vinegar and my favorite place to shop these days is Sams Club. Therefore, I have a huge amount of vinegar! On the box of my two gallons of vinegar were twenty tips for using vinegar. I thought I would share these new tips with you as some of them are fantastic.

DIY Light Box
Back in April I found a very easy tutorial on how to make a light box from Cheri Quite Contrary. I've had it on my to do list ever since. It was a pretty high priority item, but I just never got around to it. Well, my husband threatened to throw out all the cardboard boxes that I have cluttering the garage so I knew I must conquer this item before it was too late.
This is a super easy project that costs next to nothing and it makes a huge difference!

Freezer Paper Stenciled Onesies-A Great Baby Gift
The baby boom continues. I have five sweet girls, that have just had babies, or are about to have babies. I've been very busy making baby gifts for them. I had every intention of making a bundle of five gifts. These five gifts would include the adorable Fancy Burp Cloths and Dressed Up Wipe Cases, but I just never got that far and I thought the moms could use the gifts before their babies are high school graduates. I did make them each a Birth Announcement Sign, a Please Knock Sign, and a Freezer Paper Stenciled Onesie.
Here are the gifts I made for sweet Lindsey and her son, Micah.

Rippled Baby Blanket & Baby Hat
Just when I think I am getting my project list cut down a bit, it seems to pile up! I finished this beautiful Ripple Baby Blanket a couple of weeks ago. I didn't have any other blankets on my to do list and now I have three more! I am telling you it is a baby boom!
I made this baby blanket and sweet little cloche hat for our church secretary's daughter, Jill. This blanket is traveling farther than I have ever sent off a blanket before. Kathy (our wonder church secretary, who spoils us rotten) went to spend some time with Jill after the birth of her granddaughter, Hannah. Jill and her family are living and working in Abu Dhabi. Yep, that is completely on the other side of the world.

Swiss Chicken & Apple Bake
I have been experimenting with some new recipes lately and I have a real winner for you! It is just in time for some fall home cooking! The picture doesn't do it justice, as it was gobbled up by my family in one sitting.
