It has been bitterly cold here in the south. But this is the only snow we have had here at our house.

So if you want to warm your tummy with a fast and delicious bowl of soup, try this quick and easy recipe.Last week while my grandchildren were off of school I took them to the zoo. It reminded me of a fun quilt I saw once at a quilt show.
And here we are at the Zoo!
As we start a new year, it is very important to care for our machine.
I have mentioned this before but thought it was worth a mention again. I bought this many years ago. It is so easy to use and clean out all the fuzz and dust that accumulates in the inner parts of my machine.
I haven't set quilting goals in a long time. But I'm hoping to accomplish more in this new year.
There are several quilts in process that I want to finish and gift. And then there are the new projects that are swirling around in my head.
I have several Layer Cakes that have been sitting in my stash. So I decided to try this Perfect 10 Quilts book to use them up. Each pattern is named after a yummy food, so it will be a fun project to complete.
Have you set any quilty goals for 2024>
As summer embarks on the beginning of school break, Nikki Werner finds herself in deep disappointment when she learns of her fathers recent marriage to a woman no one knows. On top of that she finds herself at a crossroad with her long time boyfriend, Isaac. She needs to be rescued. So she starts driving, not really knowing where she will go. She ends up at her family's farm, and decides to stay with her Uncle Wes for a while. With school out for the summer, she starts helping her uncle clean out and remodel the old farmhouse. She finds herself reconnecting with the past as she unearths treasures among the many boxes that have been stored over the years. When she finds an old notebook, filled with her grandmothers German recipes and sage advice, she finds healing of her wounds as she invites people over to taste the many recipes she tries. Her Aunt Emma helps Nikki find her way through her unforgiveness and deep hurts. Uncle Wes, a long time bachelor, is a patient loving person in Nikki's life. With his help, she discovers hope. And the forgiveness through the proverbs and wisdom spread throughout the recipe book.
This is a heartfelt story surrounded by faith, brokenness, family and most of all forgiveness. A clean Christian read that is beautifully written and faith filled.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from the author. All views expressed are my honest opinion.
As we embark on yet another New Year, there are uncertainties that lie ahead. The Lord does not send out a calendar of events that will happen in life. We are more likely to be taken by surprise as the story unfolds. God, in His great goodness, knew that we could not handle knowing what each day would bring. So we step out in faith, facing each day as a new adventure. However, our loving Father is not ignorant of each step. Even when we cannot feel His presence, He is with us.
