By Angela Coffman | Published: April 26, 2010
My dear friend, Jennifer, got married yesterday.  She comissioned me to make 5 orange silk dresses for the wedding.  Each of the girls designed their own gowns for me to interpret in cloth.  Jennifer is a talented architect and designer.  Everything she touches is gorgeous.  I have to admit, when I heard her color scheme [...]

Lemon Blueberry Cookies

By Angela Coffman | Published: April 25, 2010
My mother-in-law shared again.  This time it was 40 half pints of bluberries.  I dipped them in boiling water to split the skin and put them in the dehydrator.  They dried very slowly because it is so humid here.  But the cloudy overcast weather is perfect for filtered outdoor picture taking. 2 sticks of butter softened 2 cups of [...]

By Angela Coffman | Published: April 2, 2010

Ever seen a rabbit in a tutu? It's Day 3 of Fritz's quarterly haircut. He's really not as big as he appears before trimming!

Tortilla Success with Soaked Wheat Flour

By Angela Coffman | Published: April 1, 2010
I've always wanted to know how to make tortillas.   I tried lots of times but often ended up with a mess, irritable, and a few hours poorer. Then one day I found the recipe in the cookbook by the creators of www.Lovetolearn.net and had good success.  I modified their recipe recently to allow for the benefits of [...]
