~ JENTRY'S NEW QUILT FROM GRANDMOTHER DEE ~

Back on my April 3, 2009 Blog Post, I showed you this Quilt that had been pieced by Dee Locke.

I Quilted it for Dee, and I told you that she made it for her Precious Granddaughter.

Well, . . .

HERE IS THE PROUD NEW OWNER ~

Isn't she Adorable!

I know this Quilt will be Loved and will hold many Special Memories!

~ WELL, . . . I HAVE MY NEW CARROT CAKE RECIPE ! ! ! ~

I was so Excited to Receive a New Carrot Cake Recipe from one of my Dear Friends ~ Judy Anderson!

 

Judy has run her Bed and Breakfast in Albuquerque for many years and is an Excellent Hostess and Cook!

Our daughter, Jana, lives in her Garage Apartment, and Judy has been like a second Mom to Jana for the past 3 years.  Garry and I have eaten with Judy many times, and everytime it has been absolutely DELICIOUS!

I will be preparing the Carrot Cake this next Thursday.  I will take pictures and share the Recipe with you some time shortly after that.

Thank you, Judy!

HAVE A GREAT DAY ! ! !

~ GETTING READY FOR THE FOURTH OF JULY! ~

WELL, . . .  the Fourth of July is right around the corner, . . .

AND, . . . I am so excited ~

I have already started thinking about the Meals I am going to Prepare ~

I am thinking Brisket with all of the trimmings right now, . . . but, . . . I may Change My Mind between now and then ! ? ! ? !

I love Carrot Cake, but I don't have a really DELICIOUS Recipe, so I tried a new one a couple of days ago ~

It looked really good, but I am not satisfied enough with it to make another one by the same Recipe, so, . . . we may be sick of Carrot Cake before I come up with just the right one ! ? !

I am looking for one that is Super Moist and has Pineapple, Coconut, Raisins, and Pecans as part of the ingredients.

If any of you have Just What I Am Looking For, and you don't mind sharing your Recipe, I could sure use your help!

We have a Cafe in Canadian called "Our Fillin Station" and they make the World's Best Carrot Cake, . . . so, . . . I have set my expectations for myself really high!  This may be an Impossible Task, BUT, . . .  well worth the try!

~ HAVE A BLESSED DAY!  ~

~ SLOPPY JOES ~

Well, today I am in a COOKING MOOD!

I had some ground beef that needed to be cooked and a few extra Hamburger Buns left over from our Cookout a couple of nights ago, . . . so, I decided to make

Sloppy Joes!

PLUS, . . . look what one of my Sweet Friends brought to Work Yesterday ~

Don't they look YUMMY!

I just couldn't see putting just a little meat on my homemade bun, . . . SO, . . . I decided to have an open face Sloppy Joe so that I could take full advantage of more meat ~

Believe me, . . . IT WAS ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS ! ! !

WISH YOU WERE HERE ! ! !

~SLOPPY JOES ~

1 lb ground beef

1 onion, chopped

1 cup ketchup

1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1/4 cup water

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

~  Brown beef with onion; drain. 

Stir in ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, water, salt and pepper ~

~ IT'S SNOWING! by Deb Strain for Moda ~

Well, it has been a few days since I have talked to you!

I have been Busy working on my Website AGAIN ! ? ! ? !

WOW, . . . it has been a Lot of Work!

There were just some things I wanted to change to maybe make it easier to see what is available.

You will have to Check It Out and see what you think.

In the Meantime, more Fabric has arrived so that means MORE WORK!

Now I have to get it listed!

Anyway, . . . here it is ~

It's Snowing!  ~ by Deb Strain. 

I LOVE IT ! 

It is a Brushed Cotton or Flannel. 

I can hardly wait to  Piece a Quilt out of it.  It will be Perfect for this Winter, and will probably end up being a Christmas Gift!

Have a GREAT DAY!
