Sugar and Spice And A Little Pink Too

Happy Pink Saturday. It's that time again, when we share the pink things that make us smile. For more pink stop by and see Beverly at How Sweet The Sound .

What are little boys made of?

Snips and snails, and puppy dogs tails

That's what little boys are made of !

What are little girls made of?

Sugar and spice and all things nice (and a little pink too)

That's what little girls are made of!

This is a simple jumper I made for Baby Girl. I love it because it is so simple and easy for little ones to move around in and has just the right amount of swing to it. I made loads of these for Big Sis when she was little too.

Big Sis is so pretty in pink.

Little Guy is all boy. You usually find him running, and jumping, sword in hand (well stick anyway). All I know is I sure do love snips and snails and puppy dog tails!!

Fancy That, all pink little girls or snips and snails little boy I can't help but love them!

What's In A Name? and Cookies Too!

I don't know what it is about seeing your own name on an object, but somehow it makes it all the more special.

I recently made the baby a small wall hanging with her name on it.



Big brother was just fascinated with the idea. Every time I would make something he would say "What you making me?" So i decided it was time to make him a little something special with his own name on it. He loves it!!



My oldest decided she wanted something for her room, with her name on it, too. So she and I are working on a wall hanging for her room.

AND COOKIES TOO!

A few days ago my daughter had 2 of her friends over. They both know that I love to make cookies (and eat them). When one of them said she hadn't had any homemade cookies for a while, of course I said I would make her some. I wanted something different, but not too different so I went searching the my recipe collection for a new but classic yummy treat.

I settled on this Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe. The cookies were soooo yummy. Somehow crisp on the outside, but soft on the inside. I failed to read the recipe all the way, and didn't realize the recipe called for oatmeal. It just so happened that I had just used the last of it that morning so I left it out (I know they would be oh, so yummy with it!), but they were fantastic without it.




Chocolate Chip Supreme Cookies

1 Cup butter
3/4 Cup firmly packed brown sugar
3/4 Cup Sugar
2 large eggs
1 pkg (3.4 ounce) instant vanilla pudding mix
1 T vanilla extract
2 1/4 Cups all purpose flour
1 T baking soda
1/2 t salt
2 Cups semisweet chocolate morsels
(I didn't use the following ingredients, but they are a part of the original recipe.)
1 1/2 Cups chopped pecans
1 Cup uncooked quick cooking oats
(I added coconut to some of the batter. Very Tasty.)

Beat butter at M speed until creamy. Add sugar beating well. Add eggs beat until blended. Add pudding mix and vanilla beat until well blended.

Combine flour and the next 4 ingredients. Gradually add to butter mixture, beat until blended. Stir in Morsels, pecans, and oats.

Shape dough into 1 1/2 inch balls; place on lightly greased baking sheets, and press to 1 inch thickness.

Bake at 375 for 10-12 minutes (or desired doneness). Remove from oven and cool on wire rack.

Yield: 3 dozen

Fancy That, a few simple letters, your Name can make things so meaningful.
And well what can I say cookies are just FANCY!!

Every Day Deserves A Cupcake

Yummy Cupcakes!!! Don't you think every day should be a cupcake day? I know if I changed my way of thinking I could maybe fit into my old jeans, but cupcakes are just so fun!!

This is a quilt I made for my sons room. Well I did have help. My mom finished the binding, she knows how I am. Just when I am almost finished with a project I tend to move on without finishing. I'll have to work on that. But for now thank goodness for Mom!

I used old jeans and Kacki pants for the squares, the designs were done on the embroidery machine. This quilt is used as a wall hanging for his room.

Fancy That, what would I do without Cupcakes and Mom.
