I'M A KNITTER

My first dish rag

As you can see there are a few mistakes.

But I still patted myself on the back.

When I was in high school my mom taught me how to knit,

but it was never my thing.  

My Aunt started making these and she gave me one.

I asked her to come and give me a refresher course. 

I will never use a store brought one again.

The yarn must be 100% cotton. 

These are great!

This one is for Ethel. 

I know she'll treasure it.

SWEET POTATO PIE

My dear friend gave me this recipe that she tweaked to accommodate her husbands sissy diet.  Taste better than pumpkin pie.  I will never go back. You have to give it a try, probably the simplest pie I ever made.  

Here it is: 

Sweet Potato Pie

2 pie crusts

(I used store brought which made my friends skin crawl)

Mix all the ingredients 

(or immigrants as a friend calls them, don't you love old people)

2 large sweet potatoes 3 1/2 cups mashed

2t salt

2c vanilla flavored almond milk

6 eggs

1 1/2 cups sugar

2t cinnamon

1t nutmeg

1t ginger

Pour in pie crusts, 
 and bake for 35-40 minutes 
at 400 degrees.

insert knife on outer edge to come out clean, 

the center will set.

Tooth Fairy Pillows

These adorable little pillows are perfect for the tooth fairy.

You can personalize with their name and the date they lose the tiny little tooth.

The pocket in the back houses the tooth until the fairy sneaks in at night, 

to purchase it for her castle.

These are also great shower gifts!

Does this look familiar to anyone?

Neat Idea

Where do people come up with these ideas?

The March

My granddaughter will spend hours lining up her animals.  Some of these aren't cheap, but worth every dime.  

As she says, "I like to keep them in their families Mimi."

As you can see from the pile in the background, 

they sometimes go all the way across the room.
