to try this software and she said it did amazing scrap-
book memory pages.  This is great even if we aren't
that involved in scrapbooking, but I have followers

New Patterns Released For Winter

Hi, Primmies, here are a few Winter/Holiday patterns that I like.

Penny Rugs are a very old craft that has become extremely popular

again. The two here are just but a sampling of the many patterns

out there. I love these "evergreen trees" by Dee Duncan Folk Art

in the little rusty cans below. The snowman is adorable, he has

his own supply of snowballs ready!

The links to purchase directly from the designer are right

below each picture.

There are so many new patterns for penny rugs and

candle mats for winter, for those of us who do not design

patterns. 

Please send me photos of your new projects that you are

working on or finished. I would love to start a gallery for

my followers to showcase your work!

Cheeky Kitchen » Pumpkin Praline Ice Cream

Ok, everyone, last night it was the glazed donuts, tonight I had to stumble across this Pumpkin Praline Ice Cream. I'm weak and have no self control and I am ashamed but I'm going to
have this anyway! I'll be the full of ice cream ashamed blogger vegging in my living room if anyone is looking for me!

Freebie Witch Cross Stitch Charts

This cute pattern is used as a key fob but it can be a cute little pillow for one of your dolls or bears to hold. The designer made a chart for "Witch" and also a chart for "Home" (not pictured):

It's been a lazy day here, have a pork roast in the crock pot with apples, baked sweet potatoes with maple syrup, pecans and brown sugar (I know, the sugar again) and God help me, donuts later.
I wish I had never found that donut recipe!! Mr. Glen Oaks is on a 
roll in the kitchen. 
I'm still sorting through the "craft room" which I had actually taken over from the 3 seasons room and had everything put in there.
I'm amazed at the patterns I have. I have quite a lot of fabrics, lots
of white wool felt (shouldn't I be making more pumpkins?) that I
originally bought to make baby things. Ashley lost a baby in December 2011 and I haven't had the motivation to make anything with it. It's so beautiful, though, it's a shame to let it just sit. I found some REALLY PRETTY fabric and patterns and a few kits for rabbits in the Nursery and Storybook themes and I have a feeling that I might be a Nana anytime now. I've been seeing  sly looks pass between my daughter Ashley and SIL Tim. We'll see...
Have a good nite, Primmies
