Fried Ravioli

I found this recipe on Pinterest and thought it was worth a try. 

I rarely fry anything, but i thought this would be a great idea for leftover ravioli

(when there actually are any)

and so i pinned it to my noms pinboard use later.

Rag Quilt for Violet

Just last year my 90 year-old Grandmother gave me all of her fabrics and craft supplies...

I can't even BEGIN to tell you how much stuff that is!

She requested only one thing of me 

And that was to make a quilt for my cousin Rachel's little girl for Christmas

Her name is Violet (adorable) and my Grandmother had already picked out a bunch of pretty fabrics with purple and lavender and, duh, violet to make it with.

I was so excited about this project!  

The fabrics she picked out were amazing and I couldn't wait to get started!

Here is little Violet with the finished product

A toddler-bed sized quilt made ESPECIALLY for her!

 Grace (my daughter) and Violet are only a month apart!  (Violet is older)

Here's a pic of them together at our Grandmother's 90th Birthday Party

(Sept 29th 2011)

Me and Maggie at the Bus Stop

This is our dog "Magma"

(we call her Maggie)

She is an Irish Wolfhound and believe it or not, she will get bigger than this.

She's only 7 and a half months old and is larger than the average "large" dog

Waheezy fo Sheezy - A Tradition

For those of you who don't know, Waffle House is a southern staple. 

period.

They started in Avondale, GA 

(which is only about 2 hours away from where I live)

It's probably one of my top 3 favorite restaurants of all time. 

Bunny is Ready to Hunt!

My husband likes to deer hunt, and in the particular county we live 

(which as you may already know is VERY "podunk")

Deer season is super long 

(like from the beginning of september to mid january!)

because the white tails over here mate like rabbits!

(meaning there are tons!)

The limit is typically 11 does and 2 bucks....

per hunter....

wow.

it looks like

Bunny is ready for deer season!  

Her Daddy is so proud!

Finished Skull Motif Scarf

Well, I have been working on some Skull Motifs the last couple of days.

I love these and posted some progress photos on the 3rd 

But now, I have officially finished my scarf!

I love this!  

Ship Shape @ the Post Office

Today I went to town 

(which by the way is 8 miles away from my house.... I wasn't kidding when I said I live in the country!)

Because I needed to ship a Hiding Hollow Book that I sold on Etsy over the weekend.

(whoop whoop!!)

Lovely Roses for My Kitchen Table

I went grocery shopping the other day and since we live in such a rural area there are always great deals that no one has snatched up yet

This was one of those deals, 

I haven't had fresh flowers in forever 

and these were only $4 for a dozen so I had to get them!

Skull Motif

I love this motif!

A few weeks ago I bought this pattern on Etsy 

From Wicked Crochet

The pattern is for a skull motif scarf, so I'm gonna do that first

But I was thinking I could probably piece some together to make a throw or something!  

Like for Halloween 

(or just whenever really)

This is how I am spending my morning/day

Coffee & Crochet

 How cool are these?

 Bunny "helping"....

I love this color, it's called "Ocean"

The pattern is super easy too

 So fun

I look forward to getting further along on this project today!  

High Speed Ballistic Art

My husband is a very hard worker and puts in about 60+ hours per week at his job

so we try to make his time off as fun for him as we possibly can.

So as a way to combine some interests of ours my husband and I have started a new activity together... 

We have decided to call it "High Speed Ballistic Art"

My Husband loves to do long-distance shooting, and I love to take pictures

so we combine his love for recreational long-distance shooting and my love for photography.

We explore, up-close, the effect of terminal ballistics on stationary colorful objects by capturing it on film.  

(in other words, I take pictures of stuff exploding because my husband shot it)

As I have posted before in my Photography section 

Elliott bought me my very first really nice DSLR camera for my birthday a couple years ago.

I absolutely love it!
