Bee and I like to watch “Cake Boss.”  We just think that Buddy is hilarious and all the antics that go on in the Bakery are quite entertaining.  They have been talking about their “Crumb Cake.”  Well, finally we just had to order a Crumb Cake and see what all the hipe was about.  After several conversations with the folks at Carlos Bakery in Hoboken, NJ, we finally got our cake ordered to be shipped on Monday and arrive on Wednesday.  They even promised to send an autographed photo of Buddy to Savannah.  (She thought that was pretty cool)  Low and behold our cake arrived yesterday and we just couldn’t wait to have a Cake Boss moment.  We cut that cake up, warmed it in the microwave and decided……………..well, it smells and tastes really good, but maybe our part of the country and our taste pallets just don’t appreciate a good Crumb Cake.  It just needed something….like icing or filling.  Low and behold………….another cake arrived today.  Now, this one tastes a bit different from the first one, I guess it depends on the crumbs used……but opps! Why did we receive two cakes?  Buddy may be a bit “infumed” to know that we got two????????????? I better investigate.

Hey! Have a great day and rest of the week.  Plan to stop by on the 23^rd.

Embroidered “Snowbuddies” -  I hope you have enjoyed the monthly embroidery projects.  ONE MORE MONTH AND THE YEAR WILL BE COMPLETE!!  April 1^st we will download our last month (May).  The free downloadable Embroideries will remain on the site until the end of May and then will be removed.  Watch for the next exciting project!!!!

Christmas in my Head……. It must be the impending Snow storm or blizzard….time will tell!  I have Christmas in my Head….could be talk of candy canes and nativities.   My dear friend Sherry brought some Christmas Crunch Mix to our last Sunday Sew.  It wasn’t Christmas time, but we all loved it.  Here is the recipe:

Christmas Crunch Mix

1 – 12 oz. box Rice Chex cereal

1 – 12 oz. box Golden Grahams cereal

1 – 7 oz. bag shredded coconut

1 – 4 oz. bag slivered almonds

1 ½ cups butter (3 stickss)

2 cups sugar

2 cups corn syrup

Combine cereal, coconut and almonds.  In a large sauce pan, combine butter, sugar and corn syrup to the “soft ball” stage…..about 234 degrees.  Pour syrup over cereal mixture and stir until all is well coated.  Spread out onto two large cookie sheets to cool.  Stir it around occasionally to prevent clumping.  Store in an airtight container. 

YUMMMMM…OOOOOOO!

Hope you are all doing well.  I am planning on some homemade soup this weekend!  Paula brought me a delicious loaf of zucchini bread that had cranberries and coconut in it!!!

Will be enjoying that with our soup.  If we are in a blizzard….be safe, stay in, watch some movies, eat some great food and work on a project!!

Hugs!

March Project of the Month

 

Hello Woolies!!

 

Spring has sprung today in Colorado.  I think we will see 60 degrees today.  I’m listening to the radio enjoying this gorgeous day when a Storm Watch message comes on.  Could be by tomorrow that we are in a Blizzard.  Such is Spring in the Country!!  I hope if you are in the area that you are ready to “nest in.”  I’m thinking it would be kinda’ nice to be snowed in!

 

March Project of the Month:

I have dropped hints about giving new life to a Project of the Month program that I featured to Shop Owners way back in 2007.  Here is the first offering of fun new and limited projects…….English Button Box Kit.   It features a paper mache’ box that is approximately 5” X 5” and 2 ½” tall.  Yes, indeedy, I found these in the basement, just calling for some creativity.  The box will need to be painted, but the kit includes the Box, Fabrics for the Hexagons, 7/8” Hexagon papers, Green Background fabric and Fusible Fleece backing, Yellow Bias Binding (I made it for you!) and a cute wooden knob for the top.  You will need a bit of paint, floss for embroidery and some fabric glue.

Quick and easy to make!! The pattern includes all the information needed to complete this fun Bunny Box.  The cost of the Kit is $15.00 plus shipping.  Here is the link to our Etsy Shop:  https://www.etsy.com/listing/125733346/english-bunny-box-kit

 

 

 

 

Hope you enjoy this fun project….there are more to come!!

 

Mini Moments from Bee....

The last two weekends I have been at dance competitions. Two weeks ago, I went to Legacy (a dance competition in Denver) and competed in two pieces. My small group dance piece took home a platinum award and first overall in its division.  The large group piece received an elite gold. It was an exciting weekend for my whole dance studio!!! Just this last weekend I went to Jump (a dance convention and competition in Denver).  I had the best time ever!  I had lots of dance classes with famous dancers, such as So You Think You Can Dance winners. I danced my heart out in every class.  At the end of the weekend I got a contemporary/lyrical/jazz scholarship. The scholarship can be used towards a week long summer dance intensive. The intensives are held in New York, L.A, and other places. Convention was so much fun!!!! I can’t wait till my next competition.
