Cinnamon sugar toast. I had given away my shaker of cinnamon sugar to the Youngest Daughter last year and then got to talking to the Granddaughter about it recently. So Hubby picked up a set of salt and pepper shakers at the dollar store for us and we mixed up a small batch. One teaspoon of cinnamon to three teaspoons of sugar ... lightly toast the bread, slather on butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar goodness. Yum!
Learning something new ...
My BIL has started hosting a group of crafty friends at his house once a month. It began with the idea that we wanted to learn how to crochet from one of his friends -- I made two cotton dishcloth/potholders from the first lesson. Now we're planning to include making some charitable offerings like chemo caps or squares for afghans. I so look forward to getting together every month.
Beading ...
I made my Mom an alpaca blend hat for her birthday and included a knitted flower pin with beads stitched into the center ...
She told me she was hoping she was on my hat-making list ... isn't that sweet?
The Granddaughter has been carrying her Minky blanket around with her just like she did when she was a toddler. It's so gratifying to see that she loves her Valentine's present so much and it was worth the hours hunched over the sewing machine and the pin-stuck fingers ...
And here's a BIG THING
Congratulations to our Nephew who proposed to his sweetheart on Valentine's Day ...
