Sweet Adeleine

I have now learned something new for my jewelry-making hobby. In my last post I received help from Hermana Martha in cutting down the length of my too-large bracelet. You can see that bracelet and some earrings I made here . Now, recently I have gone again to Hermana Martha to ask for help on a necklace. This necklace was a prototype of mine, and I found that it is not really suitable wire to work well. The problem was that I chose a thick wire that is very stiff and stays bent where you bend it. This was a problem

First off, I want to say sorry for taking a little bit longer on my Saturday Sweetly post this week. I did get a nice photo of some yummy iced cookies out of the delay, however. This Saturday I helped make some Apple Cinnamon Cheesecake muffins and some yummy homemade gingerbread cut-out cookies. We will start with the cookies. In one bowl, you add and combine the following ingredients:    2 1/4 cups flour 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

This is my project. Mom and Hermana Maria helped me with the colors. So, I did not get around to any kitchen work today, as I was pressed on time from school. However, I did have a great time at our monthly Women's Fellowship at church. If you would like to see the pictures of the Fellowship, feel free to check them out at Iglesia Bautista Esperanza's Facebook page .

School started for me on September 8, last Tuesday. I managed to survive that wonderful experience that is the first week of school, and thought, "Why not share the school experience I am having with everyone else?"   Actually, school is not that bad, yet.

Every Saturday there is the task of cooking the yummies for the weekend. Sometimes it will be a savory meal, like pasta salad, and sometimes it will be the sweets, like cheesecake or pies. However, every week I try to find time to help Mom cook in the kitchen, at least for an hour or so. I helped her today with the sweets for the weekend, and every Saturday I help I will share the recipe(s) of the day. Today, we made a peach pie with a crumble topping, and some home made zucchini quick bread. We started with the pie, because it could cook while we prepared the bread. For the pie all you need is a pie shell and peach pie filling, and for the crumble topping all you need is one stick of butter (1/2 cup), a package of graham crackers, and 1/2 cup of sugar. You can either place the pie filling in the pie, then work on the crumble, or vice versa. Just make sure to preheat your oven to 425ºF. (We made the crumble first.) To make the crumble, you Read More...

 First off I just want to say sorry for taking so long on a new post for my blog. Also, I will be posting fewer posts a week than before. Next, I want to say, "Surprise road trip!" On the fourth of September, Read More...

Last birthday I got a cross stitch pattern with a boxer design. It was a picture of a blonde boxer with a short muzzle and a white streak on its nose. Now, here's a photo of the boxer dog we got a little while after my Mom ordered the pattern. Read More...
