First Came the Chicken

First we got Chickens and now we are getting EGGS!

We have 7 girls and they are all free range chickens...

Which is a farm phrase that means they go where ever they want.

And that even means on the front porch!

I didn't know I would enjoy Chickens so much.

They are so fun to just watch.

And going out to the coop and finding eggs is so fun.

Its like getting presents every day....lol 

They always stick together and love to run down every morning 

by the Alpacas. Its like they are so excited to see the boys they have to run all they.

Stitching Up Dish Towels

 

This is one of my favorite patterns and I love making this one for gifts.

I am starting to decided my winter stitching and I think I will be starting with this one.

I like giving this one with a mix of Gingerbread Cookies for gifts.

I love gingerbread and gingerbread cookies too.

You can see my patterns on my Etsy shop;

Canning Party

 

Every year when I am canning I always think this

would be so much more fun to do as a party!

*I would only invite a few so not walking into each other.

*And pick the funniest hard worker friends.

*You could make invites a that looked like labels,

but you have to have cute labels.

*Making labels is as much fun for me as the canning.

Then it's really fun if it comes from everyone's garden.

 

* assign someone to bring cute lids and rings.

I have seen some really cute ones out there.

Since I didn't have the party mine are the regular ones.

* Make a cute dish towel and hotpad for everyone!

Then share all your hard work!

Someday I am going to do it this way!

Hanging Clothes!

So pretty! All done and using this Wonderful

Clothesline "That Man of Mine" made for me!

 

 

I know I left you waiting to see the next step.

Wood putty and sanding then on to painting.

 

 

Oh wait ....

You have to see how tall before going into the ground!

Look where Kelly is pointing....

thats where it gets buried to.



 

 

I love how creative "that Man of Mine" can be.

I think its a work of Art.

Good thing I made a darling clothes pin bag to hang on it!!

 

Starting with a table cloth!

Kelly got me 56 clothes pins and he thinks I will need more....

hahahahaha

 

 

I had to remember my system

the clothes pin bag goes to the side

 you are going moving down.

 

Now I have the hang of it!



 

 

I love it! I have so many fun memories about hanging

clothes when  was young.

 And leaving the laundry up through the rain a few times.

 

 

Its in and my first laundry basket full.

I think I have plenty of lines.

 

Fresh smelling Sheets and table cloths!

 



I have the best Husband ever!!!

 

 

Next I should share my Laundry Soap Recipe!

I think I love making it way more than washing clothes.

 

Sneak Peek

This is a sneak peek of my new clothesline Kelly is making me.

Pineapple Dream Dessert

 

I love finding old recipes I made

 a million years ago and forgot all about.

This is that recipe.

 

 

It is so easy you won't believe it.

 

And it looks good done!

 

And tastes even better!

 

Crust:

2 1/2 cups graham crumbs (2 sleeves)

1/2 cup unsalted butter

 

Layers:

2 cups of powdered sugar, sifted

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

4 oz cream cheese, softened

8 oz container Cool Whip

20 oz can crushed pineapple, drained well

 

*Preheat oven to 300 F.

 

*Melt butter in the microwave and allow to cool. Combine the crumbs and butter and toss together until incorporated. Press 2 cups of the crumb mixture firmly into an 9×9 square pan and bake for 8-10 minutes. Place on wire rack to cool.

*Beat the cream cheese and butter together until creamy. Turn the mixer down to low and add the powdered sugar one cup at a time until incorporated. Turn up and beat well for a minute or so. Add a heaping tablespoon of the drained pineapple and stir in with a rubber spatula. Spread the cream cheese and pineapple mixture over the crust.

*Fold the remaining pineapple into the Cool Whip and spread on top of the cream cheese mixture. Sprinkle the remaining graham cracker crumb mixture on top. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

I had forgotten all about this recipe and when I found it I had so many fun memories of my kids when they were small and being so excited over desserts! lol so funny!

No Soliciting

I had to laugh when I saw this! 

My Daughter Darcey made this for by her front door.

She makes the cutest signs ! All of the things she does are so cute.
