I haven't been entirely unproductive though! On Monday, I finished my quilt I started last summer, so it is all done, except for the quilting! Yay! I got the kit for it two Christmases ago from Santa. I saw it at a quilt shop in Cottonwood Heights and immediately fell in love with it! Needless to say, the Princess gets what she wants! :) Here are a few pictures of it:
The pattern is called "Bento Box".
Cutting away! 
Gotta love my machine!
Today, my mom and I went and got some VERY fresh raspberries and blackberries. I bet you can guess what we did with those...Yep, we made JAM! It was my first time actually making it, and I must say, it turned out great! It really was a lot easier than I thought...so to all of you out there who have never made jam before, TRY IT! Here are some tempting pictures for you so that you will want to do it too!
Ya, one minor detail...if you are going to make jam, have LOTS of sugar on hand! :)

I hate to say it, but I'm SOO jealous!!!
The quilt is beautiful, and that jam looks SOOO yummy. :) Looks like you're have quite the productive summer!
Christy -- I love your quilt. It's really a fun pattern and your colors are FANtabulous!! And the jam, you and your Mom are just the best. Can't wait to have some on my morning toast the next time I come to visit!! I bet it's good on some ice cream too! HUGS
