ANY BODY HOME...??

I'm wondering what the latest up date on Carol is? This is a very lonely blog with out her! = (

Here Ya Go Carol.....Les Breads

Italian Dinner Rolls - Very good. Butter & parmesan cheese on top.

French Bread - good. I need to learn to make the artisan breads. You know, the gutsy ones.

Banana Crumb Muffins - very good. Definitely a cut above most muffins I have ever tasted.

I Never did see the ceiling

Brooks let me use his lap top so I can see what's going on....Phyllis where are the pictures of the muffins you made....and you can tell Bob my wonderful brother in law that I never did see the ceiling....that I can remember....I just got off the phone with Connie and as she put it " you don't realize just how many stomach muscles we really use"....Teresa would know that answer also....
Well as much as I would like to stay on I really need to get off just wanted all to know that I am fine and have much help.....I have many pairs of "hawk" eye's on me all the time....Thank you all for your prayers....

Carol

We prayed for you tonight in small group.

Prayers for Our Baby Sister...

You do good and study that ceiling like Bob told you. Silly aside, we'll be thinking of you and asking our God's blessing on you.

CONGRATULATIONS TERESA !!!!! YOU'RE RUNNIN' WITH THE BIG GIRLS NOW !

Straight Mohair from Japan

What do you think?

Aundi's Flowers to his Grandma

They are blooming no nicely...I would plant them in the ground but it's a bit to chilly out there for me......They sit out side my front door.

It's 9 Degrees Here

That's cold! What do you guys have?

Hey, Hey

Well, I told Carol I would try to diet along with her. Me and my big mouth. I will tho, and it will be good for me. When do we officially start, Carol?

I'm dissappointed in the size

The hat fit the Paige baby (Bountiful Baby's 19" sculpt) but the dress turned out much much too small. I have it pictured here on a 14" doll.

No Phyllis, it's not smocking .... I ran 3 gathering stitches and gathered the material than I did a decorative stitch between the 3 gathering stitches right over the ruffles. It looks kinda like smocking huh?

I'm going to have to try to alter the sleeves to make them bigger around.

My morning project

I got a new vintage pattern. Here's the bonnet, now I'll start the dress. Wish me luck!

Oh, by the way, this one modeling is Paige, she's almost all painted.

From Sweet To Savory

Tonight I told him (dc) to use up this little piece of sirloin. Bob & I finally got to Costco today and needed freezer room. I usually use it for stir-fry . In fact, I'm going directly from here to Foodie.com to search for a twenty star stir-fry recipe. I'll call you tomorrow, Carol.

Peanut Butter Cookies (healthy)

1 cup peanut butter
1 cup nutri sweet
1 egg

I usually double the recipe

Soooo Good........

Tomarrow I go to the surgeon at 10:00 am and then I will find out when my surgery will take place...my stomach is so bloated that I can't even bend down. I have a feeling that by all that I have read and talked to the receptionist that most likely it will be sometime next week but we'll wait and see.....

Oooohh, Carol....where aren't thou?

I'm pretty sure, Carol, that you are suppose to let me know about s o m e t h i n g!! I AM waiting!!

Cinnamon Cookies

Tonight he had a yen for cookies. He likes to bless each sweet batch of goodies with a handful of butterscotch chips. OK. I'm going to be gaining weight.

Aunt Connie did great!

Just wanted to let you all know that Aunt Connie did very well and I left having lunch and visitying with her dear friend "Helen".
She will resume her coumadin Tues. evening.
After a healing time of 4 wks, we will beable to get her a "bridge" to replace the tooth.
This coming Monday I will take her back down for her hearing aid "fitting". I had hoped to accomplish both this morning, but I was concerned with Aunt Connies "wobbly legs" after the surgery this morning. She couldn't walk to the car, they had to use a wheel chair. But by they time we were home she was back to normal. = )

Alex's Peach Cobbler

Thot I would document some of his creations. He's tried two cobbler biscuit doughs from Joy of Cooking and settled on this one as the best.

Have a Great Day Guys

A Snowy Day

My $1.00 2 pc. Table Cloth.......

My Birthday......hmmmm

Bree made me a birthday cake, double chocolate with cream cheese icing.



Aundi gave me these flowers...he loves picking out flowers for me....








And this is a "Fooseball" table for my family room.....I am sure the kids are going to enjoy it.

Brooks is having my rugs shampooed.....I am sooooo happy over that..can't wait...

Happy Birthday to You!

Happy Birthday to You!

Happy Birthday Dear Carol

Happy Birthday to You!

First of my sample fabrics that I got cheap, cheap, cheap.

Here's a good fuzzy picture for you all.

My first mitered corner. Don't know how this fabric will work as a kitchen towel, but, we'll give it a try. I'll leave it on the stove , handy for when we 're cooking. Alex made a fabulous blueberry cobbler from the Joy of Cooking cookbook. I should post some of his creations. BTW, this first piece of fabric was 25" by 25". I took 5" off one side. There are 6 different fabrics, each a bit longer than the previous one. Samples from Laura Ashley.

I Had Saved This Fabric Picture...

And last week I found it at Stitch & Sew. Bought a yard. It's April Cornell. The salesclerk kept saying, "It's not a new design." Actually, I had asked if they sold any Amy Butler fabric. While looking at that, I found this. Found a bunch of Moda fabric also. Don't care if it's a new design. The fabric for my bedrooms was designed 15 years ago. Love it. Carol, I already have a manger scene. You'll love this one of Aunt Connie's. It belonged to Grammie Wright. That's a plus.

Creche...Aunt Connie's

We are not using Aunt Connie's Creche, so I thought I would see if one of you would like to have it. Here are some pics...they are from Christmas of 2004 when Aunt Connie was here and she set it up on my piano. I think I have pics showing it under Aunt Connie's tree. That is where she always put it. So...for several years we had it under our tree. But because our house is not very large, it's just too big for under our tree. This is the one that Aunt Connie has told me was her mother's. I think it was 2003 that she gave it to me.

My Front Door Wreaths

Blood Test Results

Well, the dr's office just called with the results of my blood test I had done on Tuesday. The enzyme levels are up so I guess I'll have to have that darn liver biopsy after all.

This is Vanna Aliza

I'm still putting her pictures together so her ebay listing should be up later tonight. I'll be sure to post her link.
