Around Here

::  As I turn the calendar from August to September, I can hardly believe that next month I'm having a baby!

::  This morning at Evangeline's hematology appointment, they officially declared that she has made a full recovery from the anemia and neutropenia she was diagnosed with when she first came home.



::  This website, shared by a friend and fellow adoptive parent, provides invaluable information for those of us with adoptive children who struggle with feeding issues.

::  My kids are loving these berry muffins (recipe from this book).  Go for the double batch.  They go fast.


::  These candied pecans were supposed to go on a salad, but were consumed too quickly to make it to the dinner table.  [I put them in the oven on parchment paper for an additional 5 minutes or so to make them a little crispier.]  Yum!

::  And get ready for this one - I finally finished my quilt!










I hope to share a tutorial on how to hand sew the binding to the quilt backing soon.

[Edited to add: You can now find that tutorial here. ]

    So happy to hear E's health report. She looks like she is thriving.

    One month until the baby? Wow.

    And the quilt, muffins and pecans? You are quite the creative momma!
