Family Cookbook



  Shortly after meeting my husband Ed, I started collecting and re-inventing recipes. I now have approximately 300 pages of delicious goodness. When we moved in together, our taste in food was very different. I mostly grew up with German cuisine and was, and still am, a steak aficionado. We both like food and enjoy a nice meal. 

  Throughout the years, every time I made something, and we (our blended family) all liked it, it would go into the family cookbook. I‘ve printed out paper books using my printer and have given each of our kids a copy, but improvements could be made. Plus, I think a hard copy would be very nice. 

  So.... I am thinking that I would like to turn my family's recipes into a hardbound book. It’s not going to be easy and will probably take a year or two. I will need good-quality pictures of all my meals. I already have a few of my favorites posted here on my blog. Maybe my kids will join in the adventure?

Fidget Blanket (Fummeldecke) Ideas

This will be my first time ever making a fidget blanket- I was so happy to have the opportunity today to gift my Oma a fidget blanket. I love her with all my heart, it just makes me so sad that not much can be done for her while struggling through dementia. She told me it was beautiful and she appeared to like it. I showed her each square and what she can do with it. The first thing she noticed was the wording; „Mit Liebe Gemacht“ which translates to „Made with love“.  Oma Hildegard is German and I wanted to make sure she would recognize things and always remember that we love her.  What is a Fidget Blanket? Fidget blankets are therapeutic small lap quilts to which different kinds of things are sewn or added on. These items offer sensory stimulation that can have a calming effect on patient who struggle with memory loss. The Fidget blankets help them stay busy avoiding boredom. It provides a means of performing repetitive behaviors that are often reassuring and calming. ...

Diamonds Are Forever Quilt Block

Saw this pattern on Facebook and Pinterest, so I eyed the pattern and came up with my own measurements. Supposedly... this is a old pattern. It caught my attention because it uses remnants of fabric and I hate seeing things go to waste. This project uses a dryer sheet. So... save your dryer sheets!  Cut a piece of paper and dryer sheet to 6.5” square.  Find the 2” width and mark with line.  Draw a line on the left and right to the bottom center.  Cut out pattern piece.  Cut a rectangular piece of fabric for the center piece. 3” x 9.5” Place pattern piece on top of the fabric and cut to size. I used symmetrical patterns / colors on each side of the diamond. The width of fabric was 1/2” - 2”, s and used scrap triangle pieces for the ends.  Watch short video clip „ here “ Finished block size should be 6.5“ Very similar to endless chain:
