Cranberry Plum Butter

I just made this wonderful Cranberry Plum Butter using a recipe I saw on William Sonoma's blog.  Just had to try some on a biscuit. It tastes delish and it takes just a little over an hour. What a great accompaniment to Thanksgiving dinner. And ooooh won't it be yummy on a turkey sandwich with some cream cheese.

Tomato soup

I got this great recipe for homemade tomato soup from The kitchen. Today is a great day to make it, the day after it rained and still pretty chilly out. We'll be having it with grilled cheese sandwiches tonight. Doesn't it look yummy!

Blogs I enjoy reading

In my daily surfing of great blogs out there to read about sewing, crochet, cooking, etc. I found this site, Chinese Grandma. I made this Balsamic Vinaigrette this morning and we had it on our salad this evening. It was very yummy.

I also learned of this cool blog The small things where Kate shows us great hair styles we can do ourselves at home. She goes so far to make You tube videos so we can follow along. I just cut a lot off hair off over the summer, to the tune of about 8 to 10 inches. So some of her cute ideas I may have to wait a few months until my hair is long enough. Here is one adorable style, the messy ponytail.  

Baby pants

A few months back I posted pictures of the cute baby pants I made for my new grandbaby that was on the way. Well this evening I got a picture from my daughter of him wearing them. He's now 3 months old and they fit. Isn't he just the cutest! I wish he was closer so I could just scoop him up and kiss him all over those chubby cheeks.

Crochet project update

I'm still slowly working on my project. I haven't made as much progress as I would hope by now. But I intend to pick up the pace this week. This will be a very delicate wrap when it is completed.

Halloween

Found this great tutorial to make a pumpkin at Ginger cake. So thought I'd give a try with some of my scraps. It probably took me all of 30 minutes to make and it will last year after year. Cute, huh?
