Summer Time!

Where have i been? 

around town

Yes I've been quilting!! Of course I have!! 

In fact this simmer I finally put 3 items in the Evergreen State Fair. 

I can't wait to go out and see all the quilts on display... 

And while I wait...I have more summer activities with family and friends. Going from party to party and eating really good food. 

For little miss Anika's birthday I made one of my favorite salsas. MANGO SALSA! Or sometimes called CARIBBEAN SALSA when I add cayenne pepper! 

It's Sweet. Tangy. And Spicy. 

My friends have asked me to share the recipe and I learned young its nice to share.
