My granddaughter's new dress

Myla loves her new dress. I used McCall's Pattern  #M5835

I did lengthen the sleeve cap and dress for a dressier look.

Easy and fast Microwave cocoa fudge.
Total time spent: about 10 minutes WOW

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional

scoop a small indent in center
Cut up butter and put in center and pour in 1/4 cup milk.(do not mix)
Microwave about 2 1/2 to 3 minutes until all butter is melted and bubbly
Blend with mixer until mixed
(Do not worry if some small lumps of conf. sugar do not mix..still tastes great)
(If too thick, add 1/2 tsp of vanilla ..depends on microwaves)
Pour into buttered pie dish or whatever you want.  Cut when cooled. You'll be tempted to eat while warm...so good!!

My family picture wall

I love the built in shelves and just extended the pictures to the ceiling. I used my cricut to make the words Family and Friends forever and the little designs. I attached the words with restickable scrapbooking glue using black construction paper.

My sewing room

I used the thread holder and attached two to the wall. I used applique wall stickers for the plant. My desk is an old computer desk for my sewing machine which has lots of cubbies for supplies, including the cricket binders and paper. My cricket is on another small table in the room.

My favorite Christmas present...never too old for a tire swing!
