Since Heather is out having some fun in Nashville I thought I'd hijack her blog a bit and give you guys some information on a great online photo-editing software that is SO easy to use.

Before I do that, "hi!" - I'm Sarah from Soxy's Diamond. My little neglected blog is a spin off from my Red Sox blog (which I'm embarrassed to say is also in a neglected state right now. Anyhoo...). My blog talks about my life with some pictures, recipes and crafts thrown in here and there. Stop on by and say hello, I'm hoping to keep up with it a little bit more now that the busy summer is settling down.

Now to the good stuff.

I hope that everyone had a wonderful 4th of July! We did. We all gathered at Mom and Dad's and ate a lot of food, talked about a lot, and then sat down and enjoyed the fireworks. It was pretty stupendous! :)

WARNING! Lots of amazing deliciousness ahead

Oh wait....You thought I was going to announce the winner in the title. Ha! You're so silly. No, no I'm going to make you read a bit before announcing the winner. :)

Buuuuut, first, I am happy to announce that my bedroom make-over is complete (except for the pillows, but I'll tell you about that later)! I will do a full post on it tomorrow, but all I want to say right now about it is, Phew, thank goodness that's over. :)  I will never, never, never, I mean ever make another duvet. And this time I mean it. :)

I'm taking a small break from pillow making, not because of lack of inspiration or motivation, but because I don't have all my supplies. I thought I had a round 14" pillow form floating around, but I can't find it. So when I went to Jo-Ann's last night, I figured that I would just get one. Guess what!?!? Jo-Ann's did not have ANY round pillow-forms. Crap. For the project I also can't use loose stuffing. So I will have to go to Hancock today and get the pillow form. Darn, another trip to a fabric store. ;-)

The aforementioned trip to Jo-Ann's was not a total loss however; because I got fabric to make a small quilt. I've been following Obsessively Stitching's First Quilt Ever series, and I've made the plunge! So you will be seeing some posts about my first quilt!

Well we are back from Pennsylvania and the Baptism was wonderful. We could not have asked for better weather or friends and family to share it with. I do not have any good pictures yet of the outfit, but honestly I don't know that there were any taken. It was a whirlwind of a day and I completely forgot about getting any pictures of the outfit, but here are a couple of pictures from Sunday that I want to share. :) Oh and I don't think I've mentioned it before, but my sisters are twins. Fraternal, of course.
