Oui gooey yummy Ice Cream goodness!!

So we bought the Kitchen Aid ice cream attachment for our mixer. I was a little Leary since some of the reviews said it did not work well with the non-lifter version of the mixer (the tilt head version), which is the style I have. But I figured I love my mixer, and if they did such a great job with it why would they create an inferior ice cream attachment?? So bought it. :)

Let me tell you ~ the ice cream was oh so yummy. :) We decided to go with the basic French Vanilla recipe that was in the book that came with the attachment. It is a very simple yet tasty recipe. I really can not wait to try our next batch this weekend. The kiddos love the endless possibilities, and the hubby and I love the fact that we control what it going into this sweet treat to make it a not so unhealthy dessert option. I think we are going to all have to take turns creating some flavors, or make up several batches at once. hmmmmmm decisions decisions.

We of course could not leave it so simple, so we added broken up Resses cups and some marshmallow cream. If you know me you know I wanted to add more, chocolate, Carmel and ?? who knows maybe some brownies lol.

However if you know the Hubby he is the type who likes his ice cream simple. So we went with just the two add ins.

And as you can see he was very happy with the results. (Doesn't he look like a kid in a candy store. hee hee hee)

However once in my bowl I added my chocolate and caramel syrup. :)

The littlest one cant have any yet but she sure loved her teething cookie. :) Not sure if she is wearing more than she ate.

My oldest daughter also is like me but she choose to add chocolate and strawberry to hers and she really liked it as you can see. :) This was her reaction to me asking if she liked it. lol

The other kiddos were to busy eating the ice cream to smile for a photo this time. lol Maybe the next batch they will if I hold the ice cream out of reach until they pose for a photo. hee hee

Talk to you soon,

Hair clippies for the little one!

I decided to make some little clippies for my youngest and for my niece as Christmas presents. I have been to every baby store in the city and none of the barrettes or clips would work in her hair. After doing a little searching on the web and thinking of my own, I came up with these.



And here is a photo of my little one showing off her pretties. :) Such a cutie, isn't she.




We have pretty much spent most of the last month around the house due to the snow we got right before Christmas and through out the end of the year. Here is a photo of my mail box poking out of the snow. :)
Well I hear the timer going off so I better go pull the dinner out of the oven.
Happy stitching,

Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year too

Well I certainly did not mean for my last post to be up so long without updating. :) I guess life has its way of pulling you into another direction for a bit. :)

Well lets see what has been happening lately....

My youngest is now a little over 7 months old and she has a new little cousin who was born the beginning of this month. She is such a cutie with a full head of dark hair and the cutest little baby face.

We have been getting buried in snow here for the last week and it started with a record snow fall last Thursday and has only stopped snowing here and there a few times. The hubby is outside plowing the driveway AGAIN. I have lost track of how many times he has been out plowing but it has been alot. :)

As much as we have gotten it sure is pretty and serene looking out there so cant really complain to much.

The kids are loving the snow and Christmas break too. Since we got so much snow by Thursday morning they cancelled school and then again they cancelled Friday to so they were thrilled. :)

Was telling my Mom the other day how the littlest one loves to take her larger teething rings and put them on her legs and then she grabs the little one and chews on it. It is such a cute site and I finally caught her today doing it so here is a photo. (she is just so cute. :) Not that I am prejudice or anything. hee hee )
Here is another photo of her and her big brother, she has quite the look on her face. lol not sure what caused that one. hee hee hee

Ok I should get back to my last minute wrapping and help the kiddos get those cookies decorated for Santa since he is getting closer, they just love watching his progress towards us every year.......

Have a very Merry Christmas and if I dont update again before then have a very Happy New Years as well.

Birthday goodies and other stuff:)

Well today ummmm make that yesterday ...... was my Birthday. :) I had a great day with the hubby and kiddos, they even took me out to ice cream and we finished off the day with a movie at home and popcorn.

My Mom made me a beautiful Pin cushion......... I just love the colors and it will go with my collection quite nicely. Thanks Mom. :)

Speaking of Pin cushions I was at an auction the other day and managed to buy two nice rocking chair pincushions, I had tried to buy one at a previous sale and was outbid so was very happy to get both of them. Once I get them cleaned up one will be added to my collection and the other will be winging its way south to my Moms collection. :) I love these, they have a spot in the back for scissors, both sides hold three spools of thread, and lots of room for pin sticking. :) Perfect for sitting in front of the tv and stitching some stuff by hand or for a quick little mending job.....

Another little goodie that I had completely forgotten was a birthday swap that I joined at the end of last year..... I got that package in the mail the day before my birthday and it was such a great suprise. I love all of the stickpins and cute bug fabric and buttons that came with it as well. What a special treat this was.

My littlest one has discovered dollies, lol she loves this dolly (it is one of the topsy turvy ones that you pull the dress up over the one head and another head is underneath. One is awake and the other asleep.) My Mom made this for my older daughters and now the little one just loves her.

This photo is just so precious.... can't you see how excited she is to have her dolly??

Well it is late and it has been a long day so until next time.......

Happy stitching,
