I have written before about my love for the old Stephenson’s Apple Orchard and Restaurant which closed several years ago. You can read about that here. Thanks to a friend I found a new apple orchard that I also love, Johnson Farms in Belton, Missouri. They are much more than an apple orchard, and areContinue reading “Stephenson’s Apple Fritter Recipe and more”

Little Ducklings Quilt
In a just under one week we will be welcoming grandbaby number 8! We are so blessed to have so many little one’s in our family. As soon as I found out the baby was going to be a boy, I begin thinking about the quilt I would make for him. About two years agoContinue reading “Little Ducklings Quilt”
Halloween Quilt
Although I am a huge lover of fall, especially the month of October, Halloween has never been a favorite day of mine. I think it goes back to the days when my girls were little, having spent a hard day at work, then needing to rush home (in the dark no less) trying to getContinue reading “Halloween Quilt”
Two pre-cut fabric quilts and my favorite quilt so far.

For a nominal fee, I was provided withContinue reading “Two pre-cut fabric quilts and my favorite quilt so far.”
Stephenson’s Apple Farm

There are several other brands that appear weeks before Stephenson’s but I never purchase anything else. For me, Stephenson’s is the thread that runs through my years of fall activities and holidays. Hot mugs ofContinue reading “Stephenson’s Apple Farm”

Several months ago Levi told me his baby blanket that I made for him was tooContinue reading “Texas Flag Quilt”
Air Fryer Attempts: Potato Chips and Donuts
My sister and her husband love their air fryer so much that they upgraded to a bigger model and lent me their original one to try out for myself. We have made pork chops, onion rings, fish and a few other things. Most have been pretty good. The air fryer does a great job onContinue reading “Air Fryer Attempts: Potato Chips and Donuts”
The Easiest Bread You Will Ever Make
My mom loved to bake bread. Every Sunday we would have either a loaf of homemade bread, cloverleaf rolls, cinnamon rolls or my favorite, cinnamon bread. She never used a recipe, just magically produced those delightful treats off the top of her head. When I became an adult I made her come to my houseContinue reading “The Easiest Bread You Will Ever Make”
On the Menu
I know most of us are cooking more than usual these days during this unprecedented time in our country. Although I have been a menu planner for a long, long time I still am constantly on the outlook for inspiration when it comes to getting dinner on the table. Some of my favorite blog postsContinue reading “On the Menu”
New Fall Items
Many of you know that I have an Etsy shop, Sweet Pie Studio, where I sell personalized monogrammed items such as burp cloths. Here are a couple of my best sellers: Although I have a few dish towels in the shop already, this fall I decided to add some seasonal dish towels, or teaContinue reading “New Fall Items”
