Afternoon biscuits

My older daughter and I enjoy these hot biscuits as a snack. It makes for a lovely break in the afternoon.

1 cup bisquick or other pancake mix
1/2 cup milk
1/2 chedder cheese

Mix together and bake for 10 minutes at 450degrees. Drizzle melted butter mixed with garlic powder on hot biscuits. Daughter prefers them plain with applesauce. Makes 4 nice sized biscuits

Enjoy!

Going to change my blog a little

I'm going to change the direction of my blog a little. Not only will I talk about crafting, but being a home-maker. Today something came to my mind that I wanted to share, but didn't feel that it was "crafty", so I did, for a moment consider starting another blog, but decided that there is no reason it can't be included here. So stay tuned for more posts!

Lots of pears!

Here are a bunch of finished pears! Now I just need to finish all the partridges.

This is what they look like in their box ready to wrap.

It's going to snow!

Tomorrow the forcast is for lots and lots of snow here in PA! I'm so excited! The girls and I are going to bake cookies, drink cocoa, and watch the snow fall. Tonight I'm hoping to finish a few more partridges and hopefully have them all finished by Monday so they will all be out in the mail!

Hugs!

More projects I want to do!

Oh I love reading other people's blogs, but it does get me into trouble :-) While looking at a blog today I saw this beautiful pinecone ornament. Well I couldn't resist, I did a google search and found a pattern. Now the picture in the pattern doesn't do the pattern justice, because the picture I saw was beautiful!

I'm going to give it a try after the holidays are over and I have a little time to myself.

A gift for Jaslyn

I really like to give personalized gifts, so I put a "J" on this one for her name. I think I will do this for all the children's mittens.

A partridge and a pear

Time hasn't been on my side. I'm very behind on Christmas gifts, but I'm trying! Since the fabric pear takes me longer, I decided to make some felt pears....here is my first one....It needs something, but I'm just not sure what yet.
