Rose Prairie Quilts and Farm

Since I'm not home and do not have access to my design wall, my things I'm working on are not up the wall but in my lap/bag. So today I went to a quilt shop near here to see and get an idea of what is popular here. I don't know about you but I have found that when visiting shops in different parts of the country, what is being offered as classes and projects changes.  One thing that I have not seen or did not notice around home is this bag. This bag requires no sewing on the machine, just little hand sewing for tacking. What a perfect project to work while here at the hospital. The pattern suggest using a Bali Pop or Jelly Roll. Did not see one that I like so I decided to buy some fabric and cut it into 2 1/2" strips. Now I have to update my Stash Report (needs it badly). I must of been subconsciously thinking about the what my daughter likes in colors for the babies because see  the new pair of socks I made.  Gee, they are the same colors.

Hope ya'll are having a great day Kathleen

My Favorite The hospital that my daughter's at is in downtown Sacramento. This is where I grew up for half of my childhood, so it's  been a lot of going down memory lane. I have been by the old place we lived in and other places like schools and where my grandparents lived. When I was a kid we lived just a few blocks from McKinley Park and my sister and I would walk to the park to play or go to the library. There was and still is a beautiful rose garden along with a Camellia garden. I like roses and they were in full bloom along with smelling wonderful but Camellias I associate with being home here. We had Camellias and so did a lot of our neighbors. I wanted to share a few photos of the beautiful Camellias, which I was lucky to see because it is the end of the blooming season. For the longest time I thought I could not grow them in Oklahoma but it wasn't until a couple of years ago I found out we can and I have my mind set on finding a location to pla

I have been spending a lot of time down at the hospital with my daughter and since she is on bed rest I spend a good portion of my visit sitting. So I have been taking piecework and these bootie socks are one of the things I've done. I had used a variegated yarn so that is why this part do not match. But seeing how she is expecting twins I'll need to make at least one more pair. Very easy to make and the pattern simple. I found this pattern on ravelry.  It is a free download that you will find  here . If you have problems with getting the pattern I will gladly give it to you.  Till next time Kat =^..^=

Here is the second part I promised. Egg Breakfast Sandwich Your way I used the egg cooked in the microwave and for my meat choice I had some Canadian bacon but why not use bacon, sausage or ham. Really whatever you have on hand.. Now I had whole wheat  English muffins but I have also used bread, biscuits, soft rolls, crescent roll or what about bagels. I love cheese on mine but that is optional. And you can not forget the ketchup   Till next time Kat =^..^=

I have been so preoccupied with being at the hospital with my daughter and not in my own kitchen I have fallen behind in posting the weekly egg recipe. I have been on the run a lot so I thought what better recipe to share is a couple of very simple and familiar ones we all have eaten at one time or another.  Egg via Microwave Perfect way for you to cook an egg quickly and flawlessly.  Crack 1 (or 2) eggs in a microwavable mug, with 1 Tablespoon milk and salt & pepper Stir to mix and break the yolk. . Place in the microwave and cook on high for 45 seconds. Whoa-la I am going to show what I have been doing with my cooked egg in the next post. A great to take on the run breakfast. Till next time Kat =^..^= 

I have been here in California now for 10 days and as much as this place had been birthplace and home to me for 36 years, I find that what I have now in Oklahoma I miss dearly. I miss my husband aka "the man of the place" and all we have there. We are all still on baby watch. My daughter has been admitted to the hospital on bed rest until the boys are born. I was going through pictures I took at home and came across all the pictures of the different types of Irises we have on the place. Have nine different large Irises and remember the one mini Iris from a couple months ago, that makes ten. A beautiful collection Since I was not the one to plant them I do not know the name of all the varieties, wish I did. They are very nice even without names. Till next time Kat =^..^=
