Y Acres Studio Small Projects

 This month the Y Acres Studio will be focusing on finishing some of the smaller projects we have waiting for us. We love working on projects that we can start and finish in one day.  It always feels great to put a big checkmark on our "Done" column!!!!

First up - a large zipper pouch

Layout finished

Quilting time

Ready to cut out pouch pieces

I think the red zipper is too boring......

That's more like it!!!

A nice large size to hold all the essentials and more!

Done!

Happy Small Project Day from Y Acres Studio!

Air Fryer Fri-Yay

 I don't know about you, but I am SUPER guilty of getting in a routine of making the same things for dinner week after week after week. So when my parents got an air fryer for Christmas, I took it upon myself to break out of my comfort zone and make some new things! Or at least put a crispy spin on some beloved classics...

For my first experiment, homemade French Onion Soup

Complete with air fried cheese toasties

This meal had me TRANSPORTED back to a bistro where I studied abroad. 

With my air fryer confidence boosted, I tried vegetarian dumplings next!

They were crispy and made my tummy VERY happy! 

Why mess with a good soup and sandwich theme when you can make air fryer grilled cheese and tomato soup!?

Or a sauerkraut impossible sausage sandwich...

And side salad!

Eggplant "fries" parmesan pasta! - Side note, there are no more pictures than this as we ate it so fast! I almost cried when we ran out of food!

And my bravest air fryer meal to date: Beyond burgers and sweet potato fries!!

As you can see, I have mostly thought of sandwich ideas, so if you have a tried and true air fryer recipe you love, send it our way and I will test it out!

Happy "I can Air Fry that!" Fri-Yay!

Always,

Amelia

The Growing Tails of Ruby Lou: William is My Hero

It is no secret that Ruby Lou LOVES her toys. She is the happiest most playful puppy there ever was! So when squeaky blue puppy went missing a few weeks ago, we did a big search of the house and we STILL couldn't find her beloved toy. 

BUT GUESS WHAT!?!

William is the hero that we need!!!!

IT IS BLUE PUPPY!!!

Sometimes all you need is a toddler's eye view of the world!

Ruby Lou missed you squeaky blue puppy!

"How could we be apart for so long!?"

"I simply do not know how you could have been lost!"

"It wasn't me who could have possibly misplaced you!"

"I always keep you right where I can squeak you"

"Look Mom! It is my Blue PUPPY!"

"I Just missed him soooo much!"

"He makes the best squeaks ever!"

CHOMP

William is my HERO!

"I will never lose you again to the depths of the radiator" 

"I shall keep you at my side forever!"

Thank you William for being Ruby Lou's Hero!

BLUE PUPPY IS BACK PEOPLE!

Always,

Amelia

Hey Look! Winter is Back!

 Just when I thought I was going to lose my ever loving mind cleaning up muddy paw print after muddy paw print - (HONESTLY just throw my whole house and car away at this point as it would be faster than trying to clean up all this mud) GUESS who decided to show up again.... It's WINTER!!!

HOORAY!!!

That means no more mud slides!

And no more Ernie longingly staring out the windows

It means long winter walks

VERY LONGGGGG winter walks- PLEASE get your zoomies out of your bodies

And VERY happy doodles

On sweet frozen ground!

"We are so happy Winter is back!"

Ready.... Go LONG

FETCH!!!

Ahhhh the serenity I feel

And for added exercise...

Go UPPPP!

Thank you Winter for coming back to me!

Now I have very happy tired doodles and a floor that isn't caked in mud!!

Life is Good

Always,

Amelia
