December 4, 2014


Hi friends, this is such a busy time of year and I thought that I would share with you a dinner that can be made in minutes!  Back in November of 2012 I shared with you this recipe and I'm sharing it with you again.  I hope you enjoy it as this is a family favorite.





MEATLOAF MUFFINS

Ingredients:

1 envelope of Lipton Recipe Secrets Onion Soup Mix
2 lbs. of ground beef, pork and veal or just beef if you prefer
3/4 cup Italian bread crumbs
2 eggs
3/4 cup of water
1/3 cup of ketchup

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  In a large bowl combine all the ingredients.  Spray muffin tins with Pam (non-stick spray).  With an ice cream scoop place meat in tins.  Bake for 15-20 minutes.  Makes about 24 mini meatloaf muffins.

Simple Crochet Christmas Wreath Ornament

November 30, 2014


Hi friends, I have a simple crochet wreath ornament that you can make in minutes!





Here are the directions to make this easy and simple Crochet Christmas Wreath Ornament.

Crochet Christmas Wreath Ornament

Crochet Hook:  U.S. size G or H
Yarn: green yarn is by Ice Yarns in light green, gold yarn is Vanna White Vanna's Glamour by Lion Brand Yarn in the color 170 Topaz, red yarn is Red Heart Yarn

ch = chain
sl st = slip stitch
hdc = half double crochet 

Chain 9, sl st to make a ring.  Chain 3 and make 15 hdc in ring.  Sl st to end of top of the 3 chain. Make a loop and tie a knot to end.  Take red yarn and cut 9 inches long to make a bow and attach at the top of the wreath.

NOTE:  This wreath ornament can be made with a single crochet, or double crochet stitch.

This wreath can also be made into a pin by adding a small safety pin onto the back of the wreath.

These crochet wreath ornaments are made in U.S. Terminology.

I hope I have inspired you to make some crochet wreath ornaments for Christmas.  These would also look nice attached onto a Christmas present.

Fall Walks & Thanksgiving Wishes!

November 24, 2014

I thought I would share with you some photos of Bosco and our early morning fall walks since winter will be here soon.  Once the winter comes we walk fast and are not able to take our time walking since it's so cold out.

This is Bosco dressed up in his pumpkin outfit for Halloween this year.  Bosco helped me greet the little trick or treaters.  The kids and Moms all thought he looked adorable.



I love how it looks like Bosco is kissing the bench even though he is trying to sniff it!




So many leaves have fallen off the trees now.


Bosco loves walking in the leaves and I love how still and quiet it is in the early morning.



These trees below remind me of a jungle!



We have been lucky here so far and have not had any snow yet.  We are expected a few inches of snow on Wednesday so we will see what happens.

This is Bosco with his crocheted toy wrapped around his neck.  His crazy mom did that to him last night!  You can see my shoes and the foot with the sock in the photo is me!  I made my husband take the photo!  Bosco looks so serious but I had a good laugh!


 

If any of you are on Instagram you can see this photo of Bosco here.  You can come visit and join me here and see some of my behind the scene photos!   

I just wanted to update you all on the Christmas Crochet Sale we had at our church.  It was a huge success and a lot of my homemade items went home with happy people.  I had a good time and left late in the afternoon and rested my tired feet last night.  I think I can take it easy now from knitting and crocheting for the sale for next year.  I want to concentrate on finishing up some projects for myself.  In case you missed that post you can see it here.  The the multi colored scarf in the first photo I finished and I will be giving this for a Christmas present this year.  

Thanks to all of you that left me such sweet and kind comments about my knit/crochet projects that I worked on throughout the year for the sale, I really appreciate it.

I want to thank you all for your friendship and for your kind and sweet comments throughout the year!  I appreciate your visits from each and everyone of you old and new!   

Wishing You a Happy Thanksgiving!

My Knitting Works In Progress

November 17, 2014

Hi everyone, now that the weather is getting cold outside I thought I would share with you a few scarves that I'm in the process of knitting and trying to get done!  I have been knitting these for a long time and I always seem to put one of them aside and not work on it.  The reason is I'm always crocheting or knitting for our Christmas crochet sale that we have at our church each year.  

These are my scarves that I'm in the process of knitting!

The scarf below is the drop stitch and to see how to knit this you can click HERE.



Some of you may recognize this purple yarn, it's yarn I received from Stephanie's tea mug exchange I was involved in.  If you missed that post you can see it HERE.



The scarf below is called the seed stitch and to see how to knit this you can click HERE.  I plan on making this into an infinity scarf.




My goal is to try and work on these scarves and have them each completed by 2015!  Wish me luck!  

Do you have any unfinished projects that you would like to have finished soon too?
