It's a Quilty Anniversary!
This is the first quilt I finished four years ago, hand quilting and all. I have learned so much since then. I don't even know how many quilts I've made since that first post on January 3, 2008. I've lost count. I've moved beyond the log cabin block now, but I won't abandon it. I hear every once and awhile that folks are sick of seeing them, making them. I'm not. I still think there are new possibilities with this block. I'll always be a fan.
I've never celebrated a blogiversary before. They didn't seem important. For some reason this year it feels significant. Maybe it's all the changes in my life these days.
One thing I do know is that I haven't blogged for four years alone. You have a been a part of this adventure. Many of you have been with me every step of the way. Your comments, advice, questions, support and even your challenges have helped me get where I am today and I can't tell you how much I appreciate that you are a part of my life. Many of you are now friends in real life. A special thanks to Sherri who left the first comment on my blog. A bit of encouragement, even from a stranger, can change a life.
So, let's celebrate. It's no fun to celebrate for one day so I'm dragging it out for the whole month. I'm declaring January reader appreciation month on the Tallgrass Prairie. I'm planning some surprises, possibly a challenge (does the word Spring have meaning for any of you?) and I have some special friends that are planning to do some really nice things for all of you. Spread the word and tell everyone you know! Let the party begin!

Four years? That's a long. And your first quilt is gorgeous! (I love the hand quilting - so perfect).

I'm thinking about a modern take on Grandmother's Flower Garden because I love hand work. ;)

Hi, Just found your blog thru the Piece by Piece quilt shop blog...Congratulations on four years of blogging. I'm intrigued, first by your Modern designs-, and also by the blogging comments, because I just started writing one last October. It's really fun, and it feels like I'm accountable to 'someone,' even if I'm writing to myself. It's nice to see you have 91 comments-makes me feel encouraged that people will eventually find me, too. I DO have 5 followers! Anyway, I'll put you in my favorites, and come back to visit. Thanks!

Well, never fear, fellow gamer geeks! Because today's Sweets are all about video games, and this is a safe place to geek out *AND* enjoy amazingly made cakes.
Whooooo...lives in Ryan's Rapture under the sea?
Sub-ject Del-ta!
Amazing and detailed and edible is he!
Plus I love the checkered floor.
(There's another Bioshock Sweet here.)
Remember: your weighted companion cube cannot speak. But if it could, I'm sure it would say, "I'm delicious."
Time for another old-school goodie:
Who else remembers these? Eh?
(Wow. You guys are OLD.)
(Just kidding. Hey, I remember Pong! [But only because my grandparents had an old one in storage. Honest.])
Moving up to the newest handhold gaming device: your iPhone...
See? ADORABLE. And just look at all that detail! Ah-MAZ-ing.
More classics: we can't have a game post without Mario!
(Love the mushroom candle holders.)
Or Zelda!
Anyone else play Cut the Rope? I did for a bit, until it got too hard for my spatially-challenged brain. John loved it, though.
Anyway, this is one of those rare Sweets that makes my jaw hit the desk. The baker used multiple techniques like modeling with krispy treats, sugar glass (for the window), stenciling, and - what I found most impressive - even made the shiny "packing tape" out of gelatin:

The business world has been transformed by the digitalization, and companies, forced to modify their business strategies, have found new possibilities to reach the public more economically, directly and efficiently.

"We are All Connected" World / Recycled Shopping Tote
- Bag Size: 16"W x 15.5"H x 5" Gusset (Bottom)
- Handle Size: 1"W x 10"Drop Length
- 5 oz. Recycled Cotton.
- Artwork on both sides of bag.
- Double-stitched seams and stress points.
- Spot clean or wash inside-out/cold water. Hang dry.
USPS requires that parcels over 1lb. must ship Priority ($8.95+) and cannot ship First Class. My shipping rates are weight-based & taken directly from UPS and USPS charts. Once your package reaches 3 to 4lbs, I ship UPS and shipping rates are more economical for you (PO Box addresses ship USPS only).
International orders ALWAYS ship with a free gift (Free gift examples: sticker set, coasters, keychain). I'm sorry shipping is expensive—I charge customers what the carriers charge me. Here is a tip! 8oz up to 2lbs is the SAME shipping cost ($23 US approx.). Orders under 8oz are $15 US (approx.) to ship. Items under 8 oz. include: keychains, mini calendar, 1 set of cards, and coaster set. Most parcels take 7-14 business days to arrive, but some packages can take 21+. Once your package arrives in your country, your local postal carrier and Customs handle your package. Customs sometimes can delay a package, but most parcels get through to you quickly!
International customers are responsible for any Taxes and Import Duties. In my experience, most parcels arrive at your doorstep without any duties or fees required.
Why don't you offer FREE shipping?During limited times of the year, I do offer free shipping over a certain order value.I am a small business that donates a portion of my profits to animal rescue, so it is hard for me to offer reduced shipping rates and/or free shipping like many big box stores who can absorb extra fees because they focus on volume, not quality.
"Do you ship to X, and how much will it cost if I buy X?" I ship to most countries and locales all around the world, and shipping charges are calculated by weight and distance from Virginia. The quickest and easiest way to get the EXACT shipping cost for your order is to add items to your cart, and begin the checkout process - there you will be able to enter your address, and find out exact shipping costs before you finalize and pay for your order. You can then easily add, remove or replace items in your cart to see how your shipping costs are affected.

Everyday Essentials
These items ship from the U.S. and are fulfilled by one of my new fabulous makers.
Organic Collection
These items ship from Europe and are fulfilled by my new fabulous eco- powerhouse team! Ships worldwide very economically! (For example, whether you order 1 t-shirt or 10, the shipping is only $8-11 USD—no matter where you are on the planet!).
I'm very choosy about the vendors I manufacture with—they have to care about quality and giving back to the world in some way. I work hard to get things just right before selling something on my shop. (I illustrate, write, and design everything myself & my amazing husband, Bryan animates my videos and adds his incredible music to them).

• I sometimes reuse shipping boxes that are clean and sturdy, to reduce waste.
Before contacting Red & Howling Shop, please:
- Verify that the shipping address is correct (check the order confirmation email from my shop)
- Look around the delivery location for your package (R&H customers have found packages under a bench, in a bush, with a neighbor, etc.)
- Look for a notice of attempted delivery
- Find out if someone else (neighbor / roommate/ other household member) may have accepted the delivery
- Ask your carrier about the missing package
- Wait at least 72 hours - in some cases packages may register as "delivered" 3 or more business days prior to arrival! Online systems don't always show details in real time

Cancer, by definition, is the uncontrolled growth of cells. Any type of cells in the body can become cancerous. Once these cells grow out of control, they take over areas previously occupied by normal cells; sometimes these tumor cells break off and travel to other areas of the body. Wherever these cells lodge they can start new tumors. This process continues until there is not enough normal tissue remaining to sustain normal bodily functions. There are a number of factors that influence how fast a cancer may grow or spread: type of cancer cell, location, genetics, as well as any concurrent illness or debilitating condition the patient may have.
While there are many research studies devoted to determining the causes of cancer, a lot about this disease is still unknown. It is evident that factors like genetics; exposure to harmful substances, injury, and advanced age can predispose certain patients to this disease.
Regular physical examinations and thorough medical history review are often key components to detecting cancer. Samples of any abnormal tissue should be evaluated by a pathologist to determine the type of tumor and degree of aggressiveness of the disease. A pathologist's report, along with other imaging such as X-rays, ultrasound, and lab work help establish the patient's health status and determine the optimal treatment plan.
There are many different type of cancer treatment: surgery, chemotherapy, radiation or any combination of these treatments. The important thing is to destroy the abnormal cells without damaging the normal cells. Veterinary oncologists, veterinarians that specialize in the study and treatment of cancer, can be consulted to help determine what treatment would be best for the patient.
Cancer is not always a terminal disease. Early detection and appropriate treatments are important in achieving the best outcome. New advancements in diagnostics and more effective treatments are being discovered all the time.

One of Moammar Gadhafi's sons has arrived in the Libyan capital for the first time since the 2011 revolution that toppled his father after Niger, where he'd long been under house arrest, finally agreed to extradite him.
Saadi Gadhafi, 40 — the former head of Libya's soccer federation who was notorious for a playboy lifestyle during his father's regime — fled to Niger after his father was deposed and summarily executed three years ago.
"The Libyan government received today Saadi Gadhafi and he arrived in Tripoli," the Libyan government said in a statement early Thursday.
Saadi is one of the Libyan leader's seven sons and, like most ex-regime officials, is wanted in connection with crackdowns on anti-government protesters in the run-up to his father's ouster.
Al-Jazeera reports that Niger had previously refused to turn over Saadi, who fled there in September 2011 as his father's forces were overrun. Reuters says that Libyan authorities believe he used Niger as a base for fomenting unrest in southern Libya after his father's downfall.
Shortly afterward, Interpol issued a "red notice" calling for Saadi's arrest and extradition, and Al-Jazeera reports that in December 2011, Mexican authorities foiled a plot to smuggle Saadi from Niger into Mexico.
Reuters says Saadi is the first of Gadhafi's sons to face trial in Libya and that his better-known brother, Saif al-Islam, once viewed as the regime's heir, has been held captive by fighters in western Libya "who refuse to hand him over to a government they deem too weak to secure and try him."
