Here's the Chicken & Biscuits recipe I was telling you about.

Very easy to make.
And tasty.
I substituted turkey for the chicken and it was just as good.
Hope you enjoy.
I think this came from the
Sugar Pie Recipe forum?

Hard to believe it's almost Christmas.
I didn't put up a tree this year. I really haven't the energy.
The weekend before Christmas
we are going to celebrate at my oldest son's house.
I am going to do my regular baking
cookies, cookies, and more cookies.
I 'm pretty sure the adult favorite this year will be the
cranberry, white chocolate, & pecan cookies.
And of course, Chocolate Chip for the grand kids.

I did decorate my mantle. I bought these battery operated candle lights on QVC this summer.
Very vintage looking.

Look at these little polka dot votive cup candle holders. Aren't they the cutest? I think I may leave them out all year. They make me happy just looking at them! They're from the Lane outlet store. I love to stop when we're in Milwaukee.

Have you read Mitch Albom's new book?

Have a Little Faith?
A true story.
"It is a book about a life’s purpose;

about losing belief and finding it again;
about the divine spark inside us all.
It is one man’s journey, but it is everyone’s story".
I really loved it.
So inspirational. Especially this time of year.
Actually, I love ALL his books.

And last in my little show & tell is
Mr & Mrs Claus.
The grand kids favorite.
You push the button and they
sing "We Wish You A Merry Christmas"
and wiggle.
Hubby & I look just like them
when we dance!

It's snowing!!!
We are expecting 8-10 inches of the white stuff over night.
Hubby better gas up
the old snow blower.
Stay cozy and safe.

APRONS FOR SALE!

For all you ladies who don't sew....
I have 8 aprons for sale.
Each are one of a kind.

I made them to sell at the
Artisan Co-Op where I sell my quilts.
I thought I'd let you look first.

The fabrics, for the most part, have
a vintage 50's feel.

Apron #1 is my favorite
chicken fabric with chicken feet trim.

They are all "Half" aprons
with extra long ties so it can be tied in the front.
Great to put your flour sack dish towel in the waistband.
I know my bar stool isn't the greatest model
but it's all I have to work with.

SOLD! #2 is a 1950's kitchen scene print.
Sooo cute.

The trim and tie fabric is red with white polka dots.

SOLD! #3 is also a 1950's style print.
Kitchen appliances, flowers, fruit.

Notice the cute mixer?
This also is trimmed with red & white polka dots.

#4 is a salt & pepper shaker print!

The trim and ties are white with green polka dots.

#5 is the classic fruit print.

With a bright blue trim.
Think I have a "thing" for polka dots?

SOLD! #6 print is aprons on a checked background.

Again with red polka dot trim.

#7 is a black background print with aprons on it.

With what else....
red polka trim trim.

And last but not least
is cup cake fabric.
This has chocolate brown trim.

Each apron is $20.00 plus $5.00 for shipping.
Payment thru Paypal.

I'm Back.
Oh, don't you just hate all the laundry after a trip?
That's what I've been up to since my return.
And grocery shopping.
Being gone a week I pretty much cleaned
out the fridge before we left.

Boy, do I have some great news to share.
I'm going to be a Grandma AGAIN!!!
My youngest son and his wife are
expecting #3 end of June.

Before we left for St Louis Papa and I
spent a few days with the grandbabies.
Here's our sweet boy showing off the Pilgrim hat
he made at pre-school.

Doesn't she look like a little angel?
Don't be fooled!
The little stinker gets into everything!
Here she is helping her mama fill the dishwasher.

Mike's sister and her sweet hubby.
Our Thanksgiving host & hostess.
We had such a wonderful visit.
It's hard to see her cute apron.

Fall in MO

The weather was perfect for traveling.
