About Me


"Sisters, sisters there have never been such devoted sisters..."

A dream to live next door to one another is still just that, a dream. Somehow our lives have taken us to two very different places, Kiki in small town Nebraska, Tia in Orange County, California. Who would have thought we would be in either place? I do not think either one of us. Until our dream is realized and our husbands are on board, we are long distance sisters finding fun,crafty, and all of the above ways to stay connected.

Oh I LOVE the lamp!  I still picture that bedroom totally bare with nothing even on  the windows.  You're so good.  I can't wait to start my next Tia-inspired project (the quilt) if only this little town had some fabric stores.  I am anxious to go see our new nephew and hit up Joann Fabrics while I'm there!

Well on to my recipe for the day.  Buffalo had a sleepover on Friday night.  I was in the mood to be that really cool mom that makes everything by scratch and has a "gourmet" meal all the time.   I got up right away on Saturday and found a recipe that I had pinned awhile back and got working.    Home-made PopTarts.  The recipe sounded super easy, so I thought WHY not.  Well... Quinnie Poo helped me out and as you can imagine one thing led to another and it didn't turn out quite as well as I had planned but it was edible. (I thought rather tasty).

Everyone got to pick out their own jam.  The kids all settled on Strawberry Rhubarb.  I found a blackberry preserve -- DELISH!!Somehow I was only able to get 6 bite size pieces where I'm pretty sure the original recipe says it makes way more... I don't know how I always screw things up.  Most of the time my screw-ups are still pretty tasty fortunately.  Lou told me that it had a "pinch to much flour".. he is a crack-up.  Buffalo said that next time instead of trying to make my own pie crust I should just get the stuff at the store.  Thanks Mr.  I told mom the next time I am around I need a lesson in pie crust making.  I think Little One would LOVE these.  You'll have to make them for her.  Here is a picture of mine.  Yep they look delicious, huh!

I'm totally going to make these again.  I feel like such a better mother when I bake something myself instead of just grabbing something from pantry.  I mean shoot.. maybe I should buy only organic.  OH no that's going to far, who would really do that.  HEEHEE.  OH Tia I love you!  Kiss Mr.I, I mean Little One for me HEEHEE... Love you guys.  OH did I mention that we are expecting a BLIZZARD on Saturday here in NE.  Yeah what the... it was 65 degrees Monday and then a blizzard.  Life is tough out here in no-man's land.
