Wine +

I took a break from the Key Lime Pie quilt (in Civil War colors) today. 

I needed a quick and fun Keeno gift for our game on Thursday.

I've been loving this tutorial for wine sleeves.

So I made a test to keep and a real one to give away.

Cute, don't ya think?

Hey, what is that in the background?

Why it is the Key Lime Pie quilt.

 

.

I might start on the 4 patches tonight. 

Hoping to finish before the end of the month.

Maybe.

Halloween

Do you decorate for Halloween?

Or just for Fall?

Either way, I love these pumpkins!

These cute pumpkins were offered last year to hostesses and 

to guests at Longaberger Homestead events.

But this year they are in the Fall WishList. 

Now we just need some apple cider!

Longaberger Vitrified Pottery

Longaberger Pottery. 

Heart.

Why is it so good?

It is Vitrified. 

That means it can go in the oven, microwave, refrigerator, freezer and dishwasher.

It will take normal, everyday use and a bit of abuse.

Cleans up quickly. 

Bakes like a dream.

 I recommend it for your cooking and baking dishes. 

8x8 for small pan of brownies, a couple chicken breasts, medium sized dips.

9x13 for cakes, large pan of brownies, casseroles, roasted chicken.

The Oval Casseroles are beautiful and hard working.

I use the small for lots of hot dips. Love it.

And Grandma Bonnies Pie Plate. 

Even if you use a store bought pie crust, you'll still bake up a dream pie.

And if you really, want to cheat, get a good quality frozen pie and slide it in the pie plate.

Don't tell a soul it isn't your own recipe!

And for your table, we have the prettiest pieces. 

Square or round dishes and bowls.

The White Family Reunion

The White Family Reunion took place in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Georgia.

Great time with lots of laughs. We even had a two additions to our group this year. 

Welcome to Kim and Dora!

While we took a few photos, we didn't get an entire group shot. 

The best is the table shot from the loft. We'll have to try harder next time.

Here are some of the best shots of the week. 

Not everyone is pictured kinda hard with a group of 16.

Okay, I'll admit it, I wasn't very good about taking pictures this trip.

Finish that Red Hook, it's Margarita Happy Hour!

Those Peach Ritas were a big hit.

Showing Mom some love.

Getting ready for Pass the Trash.

Libby and Bobby stole the chips from Bogota.
These kids have great tastes.

Semi-group shot.

Yes, those Ritas were good.

Good morning. Mom's homemade pancakes. Oh, yum.

Good flipper.

Looks like someone wanted a taste. Denied. 

LIbby, melting Uncle Rick's heart. Just a little bit.

Fly fishing on the river.

Oh, Happy Day!

American Girl dress.
Might be seeing that later at an upcoming big White-Duncan party.
