My friend Kathie came over to sew and I made this for lunch.
Kathie's made it several times and knew the perfect topping.
Nope, not maple syrup or powdered sugar but
vanilla ice cream!
Oh my goodness, with a cup of coffee it was heaven.
Mine did not turn out as beautiful as the photo above,
which was taken from the book.

I finally finished all the embroidery work for the
"Walking In A Winter Wonderland" quilt.
I'm not sure how I want to piece it together.

We went to Tomah over the weekend to see our grandson play
in a basketball tournament.
It's hard to believe my oldest son is "pushing 40".
How can that be when I'm only 39??

I have a few tests at the hospital in the morning.
Just routine. But I still hate to go.
If I never see another Dr again
I wouldn't miss it.
I'm quilting a little each day.
And sewing with a friend one day a week.
Wonder how long it will take me to find my "old self" again?
Stay warm.
It's suppose to get down to 20 below this weekend.
Yep, below.

Hi Karen! I followed you over from Aunt Ruthie's Sugarpie forum. I love all her stuff. She's such an inspiration & kind spirit.
ReplyDeleteYour grandkids are adorable & love the blue embroidery! Please enter me in your darling apron giveaway. It's sooo cute!
Hi, Karen. That recipe sure sounds good, especially with the vanilla ice cream (my favorite)! It's been raining all day here in Las Vegas. Yep, raining! In fact, we've had quite a bit of rain this month. Glad to hear you're sewing again. Keep getting stronger!
ReplyDeleteI just love the apron this week and the recipe looks just yummy.
ReplyDeleteI hope I win!

Hi Karen ~
ReplyDeleteThe theme for our church's Women's Retreat this year is aprons and quilts.....so, count me in for the giveaway. It will come in handy. I already bought two of them and love them ~ by the way, thanks for sending them AGAIN. SORRY....and in all the Christmas hub-bub, I forget to let you know I even received them. They're adorable and you are a sweetie.
Your grandchildren are precious!!!! Enjoy every moment.
Glad you're getting better. (Understand about the hospital/doctor thing. Me too. I'm just soooooo thankful, however, that God gave us the doctors, medicine and technology to help us get better.)
Take care, dear one.
Blessings,
Becky
Oh please count me in! Those cupcakes are so cute! Not quite as cute as those grandkids of yours, but a close second. ;)
