Burlap Pillows

P1010033m1
Last week I bought a bolt of burlap and have been busy sewing up pillows and banners for the stores that I sell at.  These are so much fun to make!  My favorite is the LOVE pocket pillow.  Just think how cute it would be with a picture of a bride and groom tucked inside.

Baked Apples

P1010006aP1010012bP1010013bP1010005b


With cooler temps of fall lingering in the air, my appetite for comfort foods is slowly setting in.  The other morning I decided to give my try at baking up some of the Granny Smith apples that were in the fridge.  A simple topping of some leftover turkey sausages mixed with grated cheddar cheese, a smidge of maple syrup and Dijon mustard and about 2 Tblsp of melted butter – mix it all up and place over the halved apples (seeds and core removed first).  Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for about an hour – or until the apples are nice and soft.  Allow to cool and enjoy.
I found these beautiful bowls at



and love them!  They are a perfect color for fall and the quality is very nice.  I think I need to add some more in different colors!
