Quilts & Treats!

It's been a couple days, sorry all but this being sick thing has caused a bit of a slow down... I finally sucked it up and went to the doctor, I have bronchitis, good news I'm on meds, bad news according to the doc it could take about a month for me to be completely back to normal and probably another week or so before I feel like doing anything again... AWESOME.... NOT - anyways... the silver lining in this whole ordeal is I've had some free time while laying in bed and was able to finish the binding on my UW quilt, its DONE, like completely finished and ready for the opening! That was quite the stress relief, now I don't have to take it to Vegas with me and worry about it getting spilled on during the plane ride, hmm not sure what I'm going to be doing on the plane now but oh well, its done!   Anyways, now I have to find some more fun stuff to do.  

As most of you know, it's Valentine's Day on Saturday... lets just say it not my favorite holiday, in fact you could go as far as saying its my least favorite holiday... that being said my mom is somewhat of a holiday nut, she loves holidays and while the Christmas season is no doubt her favorite its not by much.  Due to her love for the holiday's which has rubbed off on me as well, no holiday is complete without themed decorations, some sort of baked good that matches whatever holiday is being celebrated, and presents, yes, even on Valentine's day there is a present or two in the morning on our respective spots at the kitchen table... 

So being like my mom and loving all holidays, yes even though V-Day is my least favorite I still love it... And that being said I must celebrate in some respect, my celebration of choice is baking.   I have a couple recipes that I'm just dying to try, I just hope I feeling up to baking all of the goodies I have my eye on.  On the list to try are Chocolate-dipped Shortbread Cookies, Meringue Ice-cream Sandwiches, Chocolate Heart Eclairs, and good old fashion Sugar Cookies, frosted of course!  As I try out these heart shaped goodies I will be sure to include the recipes and let you know how they turn out!
