Lion Applique Blanket

My sister- in -law made this lion with her cricket.  Really cool machines. 

I finally decided to stop waiting and just put it on a blanket.  It'll hang around longer than a shirt.  Iron, iron, sew, sew and We's done.  She immediately ran off with it and this was the only pic i could get.

Thanks Aunt Rene!

Reclaimed Doug Fir End table

 I've been sick for over two weeks now, which hopefully explains my lack of recipes posted of recent.  My husband made me an end table during my first week.  It is exactly what I wanted.

 I had seen pictures of people bringing in tree stumps, bark and all.  Not my taste. 

 He cut it and hand planed it.  Some oil and wax later, and she's done.  It's perfect. 

 Ideas for dinner tonight?
A new take on Italian Fettuccine pie

 And a salad?

Roasted Garlic Butternut Squash

I wasn't sure what to do with Butternut Squash.  I had never bought any.  This recipe makes a tasty side to lots of dishes.

Ingredients:
2 Tbsp. parsley
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 Cups butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes  

Directions: 
Combine Parsley through Pepper in a bowl and add squash to coat.  Put on a non stick pan and bake for 35-45 Min. at 400 F degrees.  Halfway through toss with a spatula, so they brown evenly.  Pierce with a fork to make sure their done.
