Speechless

It seems that  

I have completely misplaced my voice. 

Feeling pretty crummy. 

Just resting and crocheting a little.

I did manage to make Skyleigh a new hat. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And took some pictures to show you.

No Fear

There is no fear in love.  But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment.  The one who fears is not made perfect in love.   1 John 4:18

Have you heard of this sweet and gentle young prodigy from Idaho? 

Take a peak at her amazing talent: 

Wow, right?

Turkey feathers

Just finished crocheting a new beanie…

 

This little Thanksgiving turkey has been in my head for awhile and I finally got him finished. 

You can find him at puddintoes.

Candy Corn Cookies

Here’s something fun to try with your kids this fall…  Candy Corn Cookies.  No real candy corn is involved :)  They were easy and always turn out so cute!

You can use your favorite sugar cookie recipe.  We always use Grammy Snelling’s sugar cookie dough.

When your cookie dough is finished, divide it into 3 portions.     Then use gel food coloring to make the orange and yellow sections.  I make a slightly larger amount yellow, then some orange, leaving a smaller portion plain white. 

They look suspiciously like play dough at this point!

 
Fold a piece of wax paper or parchment paper so that it fits in a loaf pan.  Smoosh the dough into the loaf pan… orange first, then yellow and finally the plain sugar dough.  It doesn’t have to be perfect, just get your layers in there: 

Refrigerate for 1 hour or until dough is thoroughly chilled and firm.  Remove and use the wax paper to help coax the dough loaf out of the pan. 

Carefully cut into thin slices: 

Cut each slice into little triangles.  They’re already looking like “candy corn.”  Dust with sprinkles or sugar and bake per your recipe’s instructions.

What’s your color personality?

Better Homes and Gardens offers this quiz to help you decide what color to paint your walls, based on your answers to eight questions.

Hmm.  Apparently my color personality is YELLOW. 

And strangely, it came out yellow all 3 times I took it…

(I couldn’t decide if my favorite season was spring, summer, or autumn). 

(Because I am NOTHING, if not decisive). 

Sooo... What color is your personality?!

Your color personality is: Yellow
Like yellow's strongest symbol, the sun, you radiate warmth. Others love to be around you because you have a gift for always looking on the bright side, and your ready smile can be infectious. Chances are your calendar is packed -- yellow lovers tend to be always on the go! Your signature color indicates someone imaginative and creative, so don't be afraid to express yourself through the way you dress and the way you decorate your home. Cheerful yellow is the ideal hue for a kitchen, laundry room, or any room that needs some extra brightness.
