Meet me on Monday 8/23/10

1. What is your favorite kind of doughnut?
I'm not big on doughnuts anymore, but if I had to choose, I'd opt for the jelly-filled one dusted with granulated sugar.


2. How often do you pray?
Daily, but more on Sundays when we go to church.

3. What is your favorite kind of music?
I have pretty eclectic taste in music, and it depends on my mood. I listen to everything from pop to alternative, to rock, to classical, even Hawaiian! My old standby that I really love, though, is the big band/jazz sounds from the 1940s like Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald.


4. What do you order when you eat Chinese food?
Cashew chicken!

5. Would you rather snowboard in the winter or swim in the summer?
I would take summer over winter any day no matter the activity!

    Your newest follower. Love your blog! You've got a lot on it. I understand about doughnuts. I don't do that much any more either. As for Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald, they are some of my favorites! I am a music teacher, and I love the chance to teach a new generation about them. Blessings!

Tutorial: Baby blanket and matching "tie" onesie

Hello bloggy friends! 2011 is off and running and as usual, so am I. I was hoping to get more recipes posted but just been too busy! With what, you ask? Here's a start... Onesie and blanket sets I went to a post-partum baby shower for two of my friends and wanted to stick with my goal for this year of making gifts - but what to do? Since the babies were already born in November, and also were the second child in each family, I knew the gals would already have all the basics covered. I did some crafty blog searching and found this tutorial from Sew Dang Cute for wide binding and mitred corners on a sweet little minky-backed baby blanket. Unfortunately I got lost along the way on the binding part, but figured out how to do it my own way and they both turned out terrific! Again, this is not my original idea  - all the credit goes to Tam at  Sew Dang Cute . If you like to sew I highly recommend giving this project a try - the blanket was easy to do, though I now wish I...

Penguin cookies

Made these little cuties this weekend for my friend Leslie's 50th birthday party. As you could probably guess she collects penguins. It was my first experience using black icing - interesting. I had to remind myself that the color would darken after some time. At first it was an unappetizing gray-purple but as you can see it turned out black (as did our tongues after eating them). People say the black tint changes the flavor of the royal icing but I couldn't tell. Maybe because most if it was covered with white. It did take quite a lot if gel though. I used Americolor gel colors, in case you were wondering.
