When it rains...

Well it's been awhile since I've had to post a car related blog, but unfortunately I'll have to today. At least it's not my car I'm ranting about this time. It's the 4Runner this time having the problems. For almost a week now it's been having a weird problem with the coolant systems and it also happens to be intermittent (ooohh ya fun!). It seems like the system either over pressurizes or has a blockage somewhere, because the coolant keeps ending up overflowing out the overflow. Not quite sure if there is something blocking the flow of coolant or there is a leak in the headgasket allowing exhaust gasses to end up in the cooling system... just now to find the time to do all the diagnostic work to figure out this one...

So much for that....

Well once again I've completely neglected my blog... whoops. To make up for it, here are some pictures of stuff I've been working on for the last two weeks... minus all the X-mas gifts, because I don't want to spoil any surprises!

This is a plastic bag stasher and lavender trivet I made for my mom's birthday.
Next is a baby quilt I whipped up in a day for a friend... I wish I could just keep it, first quilt I've made with flannels and I made up the pattern too!

Finally here are some coasters I made this evening. My favorite is the one with the little yellow bird in the middle. I can foresee plenty more of these in my future.

Now to some food porn, I've been practicing up for the upcoming holidays. I must admit that I cheated on the pie using a store bought refrigerated pie crust. I'm just no good at rolling out crust, probably just means I need more practice. I hadn't cooked a whole bird in a while, so when I came across whole chickens on sale I figured I might as well try.

So there are my many excuses I've been neglecting my blog....
