Spring Colors

I bought some new stones to work on some new spring jewelry. I just love the colors I found and I can't wait to get started...

baby henderson

Today was the shower for the Hendersons, I finished a quilt for them and was glad to deliver it today! Here are some pics...the colors are a little washed out because of the sun but here they are...

This quilt was a blast to make and I like how "scrappy" it turned out. They don't know the sex of the baby so I only added a tiny bit of pink!!! :)

it's spring

papaya salsa
I made papaya salsa on monday night, and fish tacos. They were so good and the salsa is a favorite of rob's. It is so easy and light. I want to try it as a sauce on grilled fish sometime, yum.
The salsa is as follows...
2 papayas, seeded and chopped
2 jalapenos, seeded and chopped
1 cup chopped cilantro ( approx. 3/4 of a standard grocery bunch)
1 chopped red onion
2-4 limes depending on the season
This recipe is just a blueprint, you can adjust all ingrediants to taste!
It is great with margaritas and fish tacos!!!

sweet vacation

We've been back for 2 weeks but i am finally posting about our vacation! We went to Florida for a week with rusti and todd and had a blast. It was much needed and I am already ready to go back!!
I mean look at the georgeousness!!!
mmm
I am catching up on schoolwork (I took absolutely no work of ANY kind to the beach...I am quite proud of myself!) and trying to not procrastinate on final projects.
These are popping up all over town and I snagged some at the market...they just say spring.
