Magnetic Menu Planner

I saw this awesome menu board planner on this website and had to make one for myself.   If I don't have my dinner plans wrote down and planned out, I tend not to put too much effort into dinner.  With 7 kids that means we eat pancakes, tacos, or something super simple.  That gets old real quick!  Anyway, I have been typing our menu on a Word calendar lately, but this board is reusable and is so much nicer.


I transfered the pdf file to photoshop, resized them (because they were smaller that what I needed), changed the words for the categories and printed my meals.  I only used 3 pages of magnetic sheets even though I doubled a lot of our meals because we eat them 2 times a month.  While I was at it, I thought I should get some new binders for our recipes.  Here's the before:


And here they are now.  I modified the labels in the files from Megan since we don't eat seafood or vegetarian dinners.  The project took me a couple hours, but I already had my dinner items on a list.


If you want to make one for yourself, just visit "the homes I have made" blog to find all the directions!

More quilts from March



Thesea are the last of the March finishes.  One very springish and the other in soft shades of yellow, gray and black.  Love that one!  Pumpkin manged to get in every picture...such a squirt!  Getting wonderful testimonies back from just about all of our quilts we have sent out.  God is blessing and healing people!

Quilts from March

 We finished 2 quilts from our last meeting.  The top one has verses printed on the fabric.

This one is made from all solids and quilted with circles.  They really stand out in person, sorry the picture doesn't show that.  Oh, we finished another rag quilt too, but I didn't get a picture of that one.  See you guys tonight!

Pink Chantilly Lace


This is quilted with a delicate chantilly lace pattern that you can't really see in these pictures.  We accidentally sewed 2 extra rows so I added them to the back.  Gives it some character!

Flannel Rag Quilt

This is the rag quilt we made last time.  Karla Sue finished all that cutting and it looks great.  I ran it through the wash to get the seams to bunch up.  It's so soft and comfy!  


No other pictures to show you as I have been busy cutting fabric for Friday.  See you then!
