christmas in 96 days

I have started a couple things off my bucket list.

Our local fabric shop had a labor day special so I bought the material for the grandson's quilts for Christmas. Monkeys for gkid-2 and trucks for gkid-1

They had a special half price for the picture transfers so I was able to pick up 2 packages for the price of one. I hope this brand washes well because the last brand faded. Now I have to hunt for the pictures I want to personalize them and start. :)

The other item I want to work on is being a better cook. That's a hard one because I don't like fussy foods or have the time to make 2 hour dinners. I decided that my best bet would be to follow the recipes for Pennsylvania-Dutch cooking. Most of the meals are very similar to what I grew up on and I follow the recipes just fine, plus it's most of the foods I have on hand or canned anyway. I have 2 sites so far and will be buying an actual cookbook. I don't have many...maybe 3, but I write in my cookbooks. I cross out recipes that I tried and didn't like or if I add or ignore ingredients. The sites I'm starting on are Teri's Kitchen or berksWebs . Hopefully I will find new menus for dinner that we all like :D
