Blogoversary winner

Happy Sunday!!!

After Kitty took the names for a ride around the block, that would be a country block, lol

We have a winner Marjorie
Congratulations!!! My e-mail can be found in my profile. You will receive something stitchy by me and some little goodies within a year.

Yesterday was a good mail day.

Another little Thank You for the charts I give-away

This was from Cath, also a new to me blog, go check her out. Thanks Cath! Yum!!!

I received a couple of pre-order market charts so far, the fabby for AaHRH is coming soon too, it must be on back order.

No stitching updates, as I have been busy, sick with stress and a head cold. I should be excited that I now have a sewing/craft room. My son moved out, but he moved in a not so liked girl. She's pregnant (time will tell all) she's not working. He's paying and buying everything. The family all excepted her at first, then stuff happened and she's not the right girl, even Dusty knows it, but feels sorry for her. Enough said. I am just stirring up emotions here. I know everything will work out, Right??!!

I am way behind in blog reading over 200 posts, so today I will be reading, playing catch up.

I am going to keep the Owl Sampler as is. It was 41 to 11. I will listen to my readers. I will post a picture of the pillow when it is finished.

Off to take a power nap

Thanks and please come again

Good Day!!!

Finally after years and years, The Quaint Owl Sampler is officially finished

32ct unknown fabric, it's been way too long, lol

I think it will make a cute little pillow

It's such a good feeling to finish a UFO

I am just over the half way point now. Thanks for all the comments, I am plugging away on it.

I just found this new Prairie Schooler and it's on my list right now

Sorry for the glare I took a pic from my laptop. It's called Tortoise & the Hare. I just love it!

"Be Mine" freebie found here The_Sampler_Girl

Warm gooey cinnamon rolls

Here's the recipe

1/2 cup melted shortening, 1/2 cup sugar

2 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon cinnamon

2 beaten eggs

1 pkg. yeast

1/2 cup warm water

2 cup milk

7 cup flour

Combine cooled shortening, sugar, salt and eggs.

Add yeast softened in the warm water, (not hot or it will kill the yeast)

Add warm milk, alternately with the flour. Knead lightly. let rise in a greased bowl, until doubled in bulk.

Punch down. Roll dough into a big rectangle. Brush with melted butter. Mix cinnamon and sugar together and sprinkle mixture over dough.

Place in a greased pan. Let rise until double in bulk.

Bake 350 degrees for 35mins. (my crew likes them doughy so I bake for about 20-25 mins.)

For a rich drizzle mix 1 cup powered sugar with a little milk

I pre-ordered my Autumn of Hawk Run Hollow chart and fabric this weekend from Karen.

Speaking of that you can check out some of the squares on her blog http://kathybarrick.blogspot.com/

I think it is so cool that Kathy took the time to comment on my last post.
