Last posting for today



I got my husband to put up my new swing/hammock! After all the rain we had since Thursday night we had some sun this afternoon and it did not take to long to have this swing put together. I noticed it was about 8 inches shorter then the old one but this one is the same as  our out door furniture ,hope it will last as long as the other swing did 12 years. I will be using it daily so this was a great buy .

Laugenstangen



I have not have any thing like these in years and next time I will roll them into Bretzeln. They taste just like the store bought ones,the only thing missing is the big junks of Salt, which to most salts I`m allergic to ,so I went without it.

Another Jewelry Box is done

 Just finished this little Gem.


This is the second Box I made . I have always been a big fan of green and purple so here is mine.

My Ity-Bity Guest Room

 A look into my little Guest Room.

 Some of the Dolls I have collected ,some given to me by friends and family over the years,I made the Display cabinet .

 This Day bed barely fits on the longest wall in the room.

As you can see the wall space is perfect for a larger Art piece,yet to be made.

  The left side as you walk into the room has just a small desk and my Haensel and Gretel Quilt displayed with  a variety of old dolls . I was so excited when I found this rug in cream,browns,and blue just perfect for this room.

My Breads for today

 This is the easiest bread ever, recipe was given previously .

 Now this yeast dough is made with one pack cream cheese and today I used Walnut /Honey and added some more walnuts. 700 gramms of flour,1 pack cream cheese ( we had chives and garlic last time-yummy) 1pack dry yeast,2teaspoon salt ,1 tablespoon sugar and 350ml warm water9 might need a little more,make your dough,let it rise for one hour,divide into 3 loafs,let rise again for 30 minutes while heating up the oven , baste top with milk,bake at 400 for 30 minutes, if 1 big loaf bake for 1 hour. Next week I will try Salsa cram cheese.


Just set up the dough for tomorrows baguettes.

This is a Snowball for Molly

 This is the completed block for Molly. Her theme is Victorian and I had a blast working on it.It is mainly silk ribbon ,some pearl floss,lace,beads and two charms.

 On this close up you can see the necklace is a real Peridot chip in the shape of a heart.

I had so many  ideas for this block and it came out just as I had pictured it in my head.
