My Pretty Little Head: Quilted Perfection
http://myprettylittlehead.blogspot.com/2011/04/quilted-perfection.html
Friday, April 29, 2011. My Mom came to visit for a few days and bared many gifts including this quilt she made. We originally chose the fabrics together and I'm just in love with the color combinations. She even had a woman stitch flowers and a whimsical design as a finishing touch. Isn't it perfect? I think it looks great on my sofa and it is equally as great to snuggle with. Posted by Christine Collier. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Where to Find Me.

My Pretty Little Head: Irish Red
http://myprettylittlehead.blogspot.com/2012/03/irish-red.html
Saturday, March 17, 2012. Tonight we are enjoying Chris's latest batch of beer, a lovely Irish Red that fermented in our kitchen and bottle aged in our cupboards for the last three weeks. It is as close as we come to celebrating St. Patrick's Day. This beer is an incredible improvement from last batch's Breakfast Stout, where the lack of stirring the wort led to an overcooked, charcoal aftertaste that was hard to stomach, all 30 bottles of it. :).

Swirl, Sniff, Sip and Savor: March 2009
http://swirlsniffsipandsavor.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Swirl, Sniff, Sip and Savor. This blog is for those of us who are on a budget and can't afford to spend a lot of money on a bottle of wine, but still like to indulge our senses from time to time. While we're not too picky we all agree that Carlo Rossi just won't satisfy. So we will focus on drinkable wines that retail for somewhere between $5-$10, but don't taste that cheap.
