Now onto the questions:
WHAT AM I WORKING ON?
Making slips is always a joy when I listen to General Conference that can be found on the Mormon Channel App. Our slip shop has been keeping us busy and we are also preparing to do a few boutiques this holiday season.

And who doesn't love a good cupcake? These were the cupcakes from my son's birthday. He was born on my 25th birthday and every year since then I enjoy making his birthday special!
How about some yummy cinnamon rolls. When it starts to get chilly out, I can't help but make some of these babies!
I completed my first quilt using free motion quilting on my machine. I'm in love! It was so much fun and I look forward to doing many more.
Trying out some new recipes...the family has approved. Look for some recipes in future posts like this Raspberry Chicken Salad Wrap.
A few sewing projects that are nearing completion are:
My teenage son's quilt that we are making together.
My 10 year old son's quilt that we are making together.
And lots of merit badges to sew on. That's what I get for having 5 boys within 5 years!
*Look for these projects in upcoming posts. :)
HOW DOES MY WORK DIFFER FROM OTHERS OF IT'S GENRE?
My work differs from others because I never follow the recipe or pattern the way I should. I look at something, or taste something, and then think of how I could make it myself. With quilting, I like to look at different patterns or books, pick one that I like and then recreate it in my own mind and then get to sewing. With food, I see or taste something and as I start to make it, I begin adding new and different ingredients. I learned to cook like that from my mom, I hardly ever saw her use a recipe, she would just start adding thing together. My challenge is remembering to write down what I did so I can share it.
WHY DO I WRITE/CREATE WHAT I DO?
I love creating items that people will love. With quilts, I love it when my big teenage boys go and pick out a "girly" quilt out of the closet because they love cuddling up with one of Mom's Quilts. I love it when my 10 year old son compliments the dinner on how yummy it tastes. I love it when my kids ask if I can help them make a quilts or teach them to make bread. That is when it all pays off.
HOW DOES MY WRITING AND CREATIVE PROCESS WORK?
My creative process is working all the time in my head. I'm constantly looking for different things to make and do and then I'm always working it out in my head on how I what to create it. As far as the writing goes, I try to write it quickly, so I can get back to doing other things. (So hopefully there aren't too many grammar and spelling mistakes.) A mother's work in never done!
For the next week I will tag the sisters from the blog Wayward Girls Crafts. The are a group of sisters, along with their mom that craft and look good doing it! We have been following them for years now and you will love them just as we do!
