Tutu Bedskirt





I needed to make a bed skirt for the new bed of my two year old. I had this idea and I think that it turned out cute. On line you can find instructions for a ne sew tutu. I made one of these but much larger. I then sewed it to a piece of fabric and put it on her bed. She loves it.

Autumn Pot Roast

I made this recipe yesterday. It is one of our favorites. Every single person in our family loves this yummy meal. The first time my husband ate it, he said that it was one of his favorite meals of all time; it was up there with prime rib. (He' s a meat lover, so this says alot.) It is a recipe that I first found on Taste of Home, however, as usuall I tweeked it. Enjoy!!!
