I found them while surfing on Pinterest on <a href="http://fourandtwentyblackberries.blogspot.com/2012/11/salted-chocolate-peanut-butter-pretzel.html" target="_blank">Four and Twenty Blackberris blog</a>.They taste pretty darn good and are very simple to make.

I haven't posted anything here in a long long time, shame on me. Life gets busy and time gets away from us. I have been busy doing a lot of things from crocheting, cooking, a little sewing and taking care of my boyfriend who had back surgery last month. So here's a little view of what I've being doing over the past eight months. An apron I made for a friends 50th birthday, a surprise bear I'm making for someone very special, afghans I made for some special friends, a baby blanket I made for a co-worker, awesome dishcloths I've made this summer, ingredients for a delicious <a href="http://www.completelydelicious.com/2013/03/southern-coconut-cake.html" target="_blank">Coconut Cake</a> I made, and my boyfriend on a walk a week after back surgery (he's doing great by the way). <br />

Oh I also have some exciting news to share. I am expecting my SIXTH grandchild soon. We will be welcoming a new baby around Thanksgiving. It's a GIRL!! And only the second girl out of six grandchildren so I am pretty darn excited. I am in baby afghan mode right now as I have a lot of friends who are also expecting grandbabies and babies. I promise to be more diligent about keeping you updated on my projects, so stay tuned.<br /><br />Lauriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10208041829909781298noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319303770491985244.post-3576334668724136152013-01-19T17:42:00.000-08:002013-01-19T17:42:05.709-08:00Left over yarn<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
So I've been cleaning our closets and drawers and cupboards today. I took a load to the Thrift store and then came home and looked at all my yarn. Of course I cannot bare to part with it, even if it's not enough to do anything with. So I grabbed some and sat at the table and thought what can I make. </div>

And this is what I ended up with. I already have another color combination in mind. Maybe I'll get to it tomorrow.</div>

I decided this year I would make something for all my employees that they will enjoy for years to come. I found this cute pattern on <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/" target="_blank">Ravelry</a>. I started my first pair while we were on a weekend trip to Hearst Castle and I had lots of time to keep busy with my hands. I have made a lot of progress on my projects this way! The pattern can be found on <a href="http://thelifeartistic.blogspot.com/2012/08/crochet-flower-slippers.html" target="_blank">Miranda Websters</a> blog called <a href="http://thelifeartistic.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">The Life Artistic </a>. I had such fun making these and after some time was able to make a pair every evening. I think they'll be a hit!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So I made this pillow over a year ago, but the crocheting started coming undone from the pillow. As I sat examining it last weekend I decided it was time to fix it. So I did a little surgery and then added a few gems just to bling it up a bit. Turned out okay, what do you think?</div>

So I finished the Teal afghan that was for my daughter so I could take it with me to visit her over Thanksgiving. It turned out really nice, but I never got a picture of her with it. So here's one I took along with the other work in progress. I turned out nice. </div>

So this is where I'm at so far with the yarn I bought. I've been a little frustrated with my project, tore it out a couple of times and then decided to change patterns all together. This one is easier but going slower. I like it so I'm just going to keep on moving with it. We'll see how long it takes to complete. I'll keep you posted!</div>

I've got a project in the works and I'm not going to say too much because it's suppose to be a gift. But I just had to share it. I really like the colors and how it's coming along. I should be finished with the border this weekend. What do you think? Funny, I notice how the pillow to the right matches the afghan, totally not planned!<br />

So we put a new seat on my bike, it's Ostrich. I think it looks pretty cool against the black bike what do you think? And since we're talking about my bike I've put over 2500 miles on it since June. We've done some fun rides over the summer, including a Las Vegas turn around, Palm Springs and many weekend rides. I'm still having a blast!<br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's not often we get a three day weekend, so when we do we try to get as much in as possible. We babysat and dog sat this weekend. So today was about us doing something fun. So we met up with some friends and took a short bike ride to Wrightwood and then to Silverwood Lake. </span></div>

Guess it's been a busy fun summer. We've been doing a lot of riding, almost every weekend. And if we're not riding we've been on road trips and had some visitors. So here are a few pictures of our summer activities.<br />

I thought I can make those. So I did some looking around and found some patterns and this is what I have come up with so far. It is early stages but it's a start, right?<br />

Today was the first day on the bikes. Had a blast! Can't wait for tomorrow, I'll report back if I pass. We also added a third bike to the family today. While I was in class Bob flew (last night) to Northern California and picked up a bike for us to enjoy those long rides together. I don't know how he did it but he made the 500 mile trek back home by 4:30PM today. Crazy...anyhow, here's the new addition. Can't wait to take it out.<br />

By that I mean a motorcycle, Harley Davidson to be exact. We found a local group at gets together almost every weekend and goes somewhere, even if it's just a day ride. Recently we took an overnight trip to Three Rivers, Ca. That's located about 300 miles north of where we live. The forecast called for a chance of drizzles. Well we got that and much more. Here's us getting ready to leave from Ontario, it had already started to rain...not a good sign.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-R_ecRShxZfY/T0OZy249NqI/AAAAAAAAAWQ/MRzJROzBwI8/s1600/600_93481402.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-R_ecRShxZfY/T0OZy249NqI/AAAAAAAAAWQ/MRzJROzBwI8/s320/600_93481402.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div> We encountered wind riding through the Palmdale area. That was probably the worst because it just blows you all over the place. Once we got up near Lake Isabella on the 155 it got colder and wetter, and that combination makes snow flurries. We went very slow and made it through the winding roads, it was actually very pretty.<br />

And while I'm on it I must refrain from lots of things, like sugar, carbs and WINE! I was just looking through some pictures I took over the last few months and I ran across this one. So I will just admire from afar.......hello wine..........you understand, right?<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And I made these headbands. I thought they would look cute if I added some bling, so I'm working on that.

</div>And I made this cute ruffle scarf. I made one just like it for my daughter for Christmas and also a pink one, which I forgot to take a picture of both. I'm not doing so good remembering the camera lately!<br />

I was asked to make a set of aprons for a mommy and daughter. I found some cute fabric recently at a Tuesday Morning (never thought they'd have fabric) and immediately thought aprons! So here they are, I really love how they turned out.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The best thing was that I had enough fabric left over that I made myself one too! The top ruffle is fabric I have had for a long time and have always wanted to use it in an apron.

I found a cute tutorial at <a href="http://morganmoore.typepad.com/one_more_moore/2007/02/valentine_tree__1.html" target="_blank">One more Moore</a> which I made using some holiday fabric. I took it to my daughters on Thanksgiving and she quickly called dibs on it. I got to model it for her.<br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My daughter in law liked it too so I made her one for Christmas. I always ask for a picture of the person wearing, so here it is. Here is proof she is using it IN the kitchen, ha ha she'll love this!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I had also been wanting to make one for Bob's sister and asked if her granddaughter would like one. She was thrilled that I would do that, then she asked if I would make a matching one for her mommy. Well then I had to make one for her other daughter as well, everyone should have an apron, right? I just got their family apron photo as well. It was taken with a cell phone camera so it isn't as clear, but still looks good. They all loved their aprons...that makes me happy!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

So I made it today along with the Potato & Ham Soup and now we have dinner for several days ahead, that's the best part no more cooking this week! It was yummy. I already have some in a container to take for my lunch tomorrow.<br />

Not the one from that overpriced chain but I did go online and find a great copy of the basting sauce used. It turned out really good. The basting sauce consisted of 1/2 Cup each of Pear Juice, Orange Juice, Brown Sugar and Honey. So what do you do with a lot of leftover ham? Well I froze some and with the rest I make this delicious <a href="http://allrecipes.com/recipe/delicious-ham-and-potato-soup/detail.aspx" target="_blank">Potato and Ham Soup</a>. It turned out really good. We didn't eat it tonight, instead we had another great recipe that I also made today. We're having this tomorrow for dinner, I'm sure it will taste even better after a night in the frig. I will post the other recipe I made right after this post....so stay tuned.<br />

Just had to try some on a biscuit. It tastes delish and it takes just a little over an hour. What a great accompaniment to Thanksgiving dinner. And ooooh won't it be yummy on a turkey sandwich with some cream cheese.<br />
