Well, I was the Farmer's Wife the past 2 days and got some blogs done. I've been sewing along with Donna over at
Brynwood Needleworks. She started this sew along and it was just what I needed...I was making blocks a while ago but no rhyme or reason and just whenever I felt like it. I wasn't getting anywhere fast. Then I came upon this and knew this was where I needed to be. Donna picks 10 blocks a month, although she says next month there will be more...and we have the whole month to get them done...and there's no stress...I'm lovin' it. Here are the ones I did the past 2 days...
#103 Whirlwind #51 Hovering Birds #34 Flock and #52 Hovering Hawks. And these are the ones I did before when I was just working on the willy nilly...
#2 Autumn Tints #6 Big Dipper #15 Buzzard's Roost #10 Bowtie #31 Evening Star #29 Economy
I'm set and ready for April...YIPPEE!
Now on to making brownies...I made a batch of brownies for our neighbor boy's 13th Birthday...I made these for him for the first day of school and he flipped...he ate them for breakfast...yes I know I'm not a very good influence...but I am kind of a grandma figure for him, so I guess that makes it OK...LOL!
Start off with just the regular brownie mix..I always use one that I can make a larger pan. I usually use these disposable pans for the neighbors then they don't have to worry about getting my plate back. I think this size is 12" X 8". Mix it up just like the box says...
...now here's the secret ingredient
...dump half of the mix in the bottom of the pan...break the Symphony bar apart on the lines and set them on top
...dump the rest of the mix on top
and bake according to the package directions. Max says they are the BEST brownies in the world. It's so fun to make a boy happy...reminds me of the days Josh was here and 13...where oh where does the time go? Happy Birthday Max!

I'm not doing any sewing right now because I am creating my sewing space. All I can smell is paint! My goal is to finish this weekend and then make a small bunny quilt for Easter.
Have a great weekend!
I have a brownie recipe my family loves and I know they also love symphony bars. I will have to try this out! Thanks for the temptation--I mean inspiration. : )
You are a super neighbor! Lucky 13 year old.
Hi fellow FW QALer! Your blocks look so cute and those brownies look delish!
