I patiently await Christmas fabric to arrive.
I eagerly await Christmas fabric to arrive.
I’ve began to stalk the postman:)
My first fabrics arrived the other day….Michael Miller. Some Funky Christmas, Ho Ho Hoot, and Yule Trees.
Just look at these sweet little reindeer. They’re so retro. I’m probably going to kick myself later for not buying a lot more of this in the turquoise. Actually, I’m hoping it’s still available on the bolt. This could be dangerous!
More retro…Peace Christmas. Love it!
This is what I’m stalking right now. Dena Designs Kumari Garden Holiday. Christmas, but doesn’t really have to be, kinda thing. I love that too.
Riley Blake Christmas pre-cuts should be arriving on Wednesday for the Etsy shop. Do you think I can be trusted with them? Hmmm:)
If your not into Christmas, say it isn’t so, then we have new fabrics in the shop. Honey Child by Jennifer Paganelli.
Do you remember this Fabric Friday post? The one which Paige drew Kathy the kitty drawing for her Sweet Pickins’ bag. Kathy brought her bag in for show ‘n’ tell the other day. It turned out purrfect:)
Have a great weekend everyone! Next week Paige will be showing off the awesome batik quilt she designed and, finally, pics of the new quilting studio!
Honestly, my days have been screwed up because of the snow days. I didn’t realize it was almost Fabric Friday till about 10 o’clock last night. I’m seriouly unprepared!
Instead of leaving you hanging, I thought I would just show you some of the fabrics I can’t seem to stop thinking about.
Up 1st is Knitty Gritty from Michael Miller. I love this with the scissors under the skulls. The other piece to this line has knitting needles crossed behind the skulls.
It comes in lavender too. I can see a cute wallet or a coffee cup cozy out of this.
A novelty print from Michael Miller that I saw recently made into a bag.
I don’t know how old this Halloween fabric is. I think it’s Maywood Studios. I know Paige will like this one.
You didn’t think I’d leave out Christmas did you?
Here’s a peek at the new Kate Spain’s line Flurry.
And the Basic Grey line Jovial, which I’m just counting the days for. Although I kinda wished they had named it a Christmas treat like the last two, Fruitcake & Figgy Pudding. Those names were so much fun.
Have a great SuperBowl weekend everyone!
And Happy Birthday Mom!!
Here’s the recipe I used for the Red Velvet Cake I made for Christmas dinner. It would also be a pretty cake for Valentine’s Day too. Sorry the pic is so washed out.
Of course I used Paula Deen’s recipe. You can’t go wrong with Paula. I did change a few things though.
Cake
2 eggs
2C sugar
2TBSP cocoa
2oz. red food coloring
2 sticks butter
2-1/2C cake flour
1tsp salt
1C buttermilk
1tsp vanilla
½ tsp baking soda
1TBSP vinegar
Preheat oven to 350. Beat eggs; add sugar. Mix cocoa and food coloring. Add to butter and egg mixture; mix well. Sift together flour and salt. Add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk. Blend in vanilla. In a small bowl, combine soda and vinegar and add to mixture. Pour into 3 greased and floured 9” round pans. Bake for 20-25 min, or till tester comes out clean…do not overcook or the cake will be dry.
Icing
16oz. cream cheese, softened
2 sticks of butter, softened
1lb powdered sugar
2C marshmallow cream
Dash of coconut extract
Blend cream cheese and butter. Add marshmallow, sugar, and a dash of coconut to taste.
Red velvet cake is a dense cake…not fluffy.
Enjoy!
