Tuesday Tastes



Crazy Daisy is throwing a new link party, Tuesday Tastes!
Link up your favorite recipe and then everyone votes for their favorite recipe.
It's a great way to find some new recipes.





I linked up my German Oven Pancakes recipe.

Quilting

I have been working on this quilt for about six years.
I work on it a little here and there, but then I get sick of it and put it away.
The top is so close to being finished. I just need to finish this dang thing!



Brody loves when I sew. He likes to stand next to me and watch or sit on my lap.
It makes for a difficult time sewing. I have learned to only sew when he is sleeping or when Travis is here to watch him.
He couldn't keep his hands off the quilt when I was tying to snap a quick picture.




Do you have a project that is taking forever to complete?

Keeping Track of Blogs



How do you keep track of the blogs you read?

I use to bookmark my favorite blogs on my computer. That list started getting really long! Then I discovered google reader. Now all of my favorite blogs are in one place.
Plus I don't have to check the blog every day for new posts, google reader lets me know when they have been updated.
I love google reader!


How do you keep track of blogs? google reader, following, bloglines, etc...




Don't forget to update your whatever DeeDee wants {she's gonna get it} feed if you haven't already since the switch from blogspot to whateverdeedeewants.com
If you prefer, you can sign up (on my side bar) for an email subscription.

Dot Com

I have some exciting news!

Whatever DeeDee Wants {she's gonna get it} has officially moved to a dot com!

You may not have even noticed because blogger automatically links you from the blogspot address to the dot com. Cool huh? That means when you type in whateverdeedeewants.blogspot.com blogger will automatically redirect you to whateverdeedeewants.com



The only problem will be for those who view the blog in google reader, you will have to change to the new url. Sorry!

You will want to make sure to switch to the new url to keep updated on some up coming giveaways.

My blog anniversary is coming up soon and there will be a full week of giveaways!
Make sure to stay tuned.

Gun Slinger Necklace

I love this gun slinger necklace from Fred Flare.
To close the necklace you put the gun in the holster.
So clever!
