First, some projects I have been working on for the last couple of weeks… A quilt for an upcoming quilt class… My embroidery design for the upcoming Seasons At Home magazine. We will have more pictures of these later! I love the new embroidery designs we’ve been working on. Now for some ice cream. Recently,
The beautiful tulips my husband brought me today… makes me happy to think about the Spring season coming! Saturdays will always seem like a good day to make a coffee cake to me, and this morning I had been thinking about how good a moist, streusel-topped apple cake sounded. I had used the rest of

Glazed Gingerbread Nuts is a fun treat to have on hand while you’re working on ornaments! Glazed Gingerbread Nuts You need 5 cups of mixed nuts, salted or unsalted. You don’t have to use mixed nuts- you can use just pecans, walnuts or almonds. Bring 2 large eggs to room temperature. In a large bowl
If there is one thing our family eats a lot of, it’s salad. We eat salad up to four times a week with dinner, not counting what mom and I consume for lunches. That adds up to a lot of salad dressing consumed as well! There are only a few different dressings we like, ranch
