Pioneer Woman at Heart

I haven't done any "real" sewing for a while.  I found this fleece on sale for $3.99/yard and my daughter approved it.  Not bad for sewing my first dog coat.  Isn't he handsome?   Next sewing project . . . pot holders.

Recycled Christmas Cards with crocheted edges.  I found these small cowboy hats at a store called Hobby Lobby.  I'm not sure if you can buy them there anymore.  For these I glued tiny red and green plastic gems around the hat, tied on red string. and created a hanger.  

Temperatures got down to 15°F last night.  The sun is shining bright this morning. Today I am Thankful for: ~a vehicle that would start so my dd could get to work. ~my husband, for driving dd to work. ~no frozen pipes YAY! ~cats who make me laugh at 7am when 2 cars won't start and one has no gas. ~God's forgiveness. ~old photgraphs. ~hugs from my kids. ~good music. ~having my mother's old sewing machine. ~the Internet where I can watch on-line sermons.

Although I have found recipes for applesauce breads using yeast, I needed something quicker yesterday. I used a Banana-Applesauce Recipe that didn't require any oil, butter, or shortening.   This turned out nice, and we didn't even make the optional frosting for it.  I love recipes where I can utilize something I already have made homemade, such as my applesauce.

Thank you Grace!  I am very thankful and grateful for this wonderful Christmas surprise. 

Made with a wooden honey dipper covered with glue and beads and glitter.  Click on "read more" to see the rest of the post.

There are still so many that I have not photographed to share.  Here is one that I posted a "how to" on my S.C.R.A.P. blog:
