Behind it is still the "Green thing", I'm still in the market for names, though I've been given some good ideas. Please see my previous post for the reward for helping me!



Other notable happenings in the Green household.......... This is the 2008 science fair project.

It seems to involve grape juice, pencil leads, and a battery. I have no idea what it actually is, but the two junior scientists are having a good time and (so far) nothing has blown up or caught fire.


We won't mention the zaps they got when they crossed certain wires now will we?











On a tastier side note, I seem to have caught muffin fever.
It started about a week ago with some overripe bananas, which became banana chocolate chip muffins.
Those were pretty popular so next came apple cinnamon muffins, also popular.
Then the grocery store had a special on frozen fruit............... so there were blueberry muffins (trite, yes, but yummy anyway) next came raspberry muffins - very popular with the college contingent who were visiting. Then Mango muffins, which I highly recommend. And today we have strawberry mango muffins. Next I am going to attempt pineapple coconut. (I don't care for coconut so those will be safe from me) Then perhaps peach............

Don't care for coconut??? Oh, you poor, poor baby. How can that be? Wait until you come down for our homemade coconut ice cream. It may just change your life. Love the pin cushion, by the way.

I like the pincushion...did it start out really big before felting?!

nice science experiment and always a good thing when there are no explosions or fires :)

maybe I'll make some muffins...my bananas are browning up right now.

When I look at your quilt I see nature and makes me think of Spring. You say she teaches about life, hope and faith, so why not call it "Faith" - just as we have faith that Spring will follow our long dreary Winters.

Whatever you call it, I am sure she will love it!
