Oh HOORAY for you! My great aunt and my great grandmother lived in Maine where they used to get snowed in for the winters back in the early 1900s. They had a house full of crocheted table cloths and yoyo and cathedral window quilts. I remember as a kid staring at them and trying to find matches of the even then old-fashioned silks and cottons. I guess it's amazing what you do to pass the time if you don't leave your house for 4 months at a time and don't have TV and radio to distract you. ;> Well done! It will be a joy to you. And maybe so small kid will try to find pairs of the fabrics and remember them for 60 years or so like me. ;>

Pretty kitties...I especially like Louie. What color are his eyes? And I want to come back as a cat too. Nine lives, someone feeds you daily, sleep most of the time, humans spoil you...how hard can that be?

I like her too, a natural simple beauty, not a glitzy glamorous look. I have a friend who does look like Sheryl Crow. DH was the first to comment on it, and now the resemblance just seems to get stronger when I see her. I've never heard my friend sing, though. ;o)

Amy, wow! LOL OH I absolutely love the deviled eggs with the gherkins, lol. Did you add the gherkins on the tops? DH thinks its so funny that I do that, but anyone that tries those, loves them, LOL! I have more of those seasonings if you would like or need more, I keep those on hand until I run out and then will make more. (usually only twice a year, around the time I harvest and dehydrate my peppers) The chocolate habanero salt sounds incredible on your scalloped potatoes! YUM ...My favorite is the cajun ghost, I use that with all kinds of things.... burgars, meatloaf, soups, olive oil dipping & dressings, fries, baked potatoes, potato salad, shrimp, pork chops, beef kabobs, steak tips, even toss a pinch of it on top salads... the list is endless.... The kodiak spice rub is DH's go too for salmon. I dont care for Salmon but he loves it! We do lots of tailgating and bbq's ...so that 'seasoning' is sorta one of my specialtys. Can you tell I enjoy cooking ....LOL So happy to hear you enjoyed those! =) heres a few others too....Let me know if you need more! LOL
