My husband was returning from a trip to LA, it was the last official weekend of the summer and I decided to make some whoopie pies. I'm wearing an apron my dear friend, Pat, sent me for the my Birthday. It's a hoot!
So in addition to the traditional chocolate whoopies, (see recipe here at Be*Mused) I decided to try red velvet pies too. You can find the recipe for them by clicking here.
They turned out a little thicker and smaller than the chocolate, but they were delicious!
and speaking of orange, look at this dollie - hot pink with orange dots!! - thanks Jilly!
Dog days of summer - coco and the garden
The bird house on the left is from my husband, I'm hoping a little winter bird will move it to stay to warm.
Quilting??
Barb .. I'm envious of your polka dot doily .. but I have to say I'm blaming you for my latest venture. The great Got Dots Quilt-Along! Yep - your quilts last week reminded me of something else, that sent my brain spinning and now I'm going dotty. I'm still putting together details but if you'd like to see two of my blocks so far I've started a Flickr group :: http://www.flickr.com/groups/gotdots/
