Blessed Life

My life has become very busy but everyday I thank the Lord for all I have, I am truly blessed.

 

With that being said, I have gone back to work a few days a week at the original quilt shop I worked at many years ago. I love it and love seeing all the wonderful creative customers. I will be teaching a few classes in the coming months. The first class is called Fun with Dresdens. I will teach three different Dresden techniques.

Here is a picture of the shop sample for this class.

 

The second class is a Scrappy Trip, these quilts are so fun to make, you would be surprised at all the variation you have for laying out these blocks. The technique I will be teaching is fast and fun. I will teach you a fun and easy trick to putting these blocks together fast and easy.

 

I have an update on our chickens (the girls) we now have three producing eggs.

Two brown and one white egg a day.

They really are beautiful eggs.

 

Yesterday was the perfect fall day to stay home and sew and bake.

A pumpkin recipe was in order so I made these yummy Pumpkin Cream Cheese Cookies.



In a separate bowl add,

2 1/2 cups flour

1 Tsp. baking powder

1 Tsp. baking soda

2 Tsp. Cinnamon

1/2 Tsp. Nutmeg

1/2 Tsp. Clove

1/2 Tsp. Salt

 

In a mixer add,

 1/2 cup soften butter

1 1/2 cups sugar

1 cup can Pumpkin

1 egg

1 Tsp. Vanilla

Blend until combined. Add one cup at a time of flour mixture until all is incorporated.

Scoop onto a lightly greased pan and cook in a 350 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes.

Once the cookies are cooled you can frost them with this yummy cream cheese frosting.

 

Cream Cheese frosting.

1 stick soften butter

6 oz. soften Cream Cheese

2 cups powder sugar

1 Tsp. Vanilla.

 

I also added raisins to the last batch of cookies, my husband liked the raisins ones the best so next time I make these raisins will go into the whole batch. You could even add chocolate chips.

 

Enjoy.
