Nothing Says Lovin like something form the oven.

Made chocolate chip cookies today. Super Yummy and Guilt free since I didn't eat cookie dough, but did have 2 little cookies. They were good, but I am done with them now. The Kids were super happy to have fresh cookies since we haven't had any in a while.

1 lb Butter (4 sticks)
1 Cup Sugar
1 Cup Brown Sugar
4 eggs
1 Teaspoon Soda
1 Teaspoon Salt
1 Teaspoon Vanilla
5 Cups Flour
2 (12oz ) bags Chocolate Chips, 1 Semi-Sweet & 1 Milk Chocolate
A dash of cinnamon
Mix butter and Sugar; add eggs, soda, salt, vanilla, cinnamon; mix well; add 3 cups flour, and chocolate chips, then the rest of the flour; mix well; roll in to balls; bake at 325* for 15-20 minutes until light brown.

They were very yummy, and went great with milk. Maybe since a diet isn't happening I can make more yummy food that I have been avoiding since I hoped to loose weight and now, I just don't care. I taped them and hope to get some editing done and posted on youtube soon.

Sew Eco Mommy of TWO!?!

SO I just found out on Sunday that I am expecting again. I couldn't be happier about the new addition to our family. It came just as I was starting to pick out the patterns and fabric for my new wardrobe, so I will put that project on the back burner and start working on some maternity clothing for myself and then I have a few baby things I'd love to make. As such, I put the baby underwear on hold because potty training is very important that it happens before the new baby comes in December. Also with my due date being 12/1/2011 I have some Christmas stuff that I am going to have to get on the stick and get fininshed before November. So I have been looking on cute clothes that will grow with my belly and cute baby stuff for the new baby, and some fun stuff for Andrew. We also have tons of stuff to do around the house to get ready for our sweet bundle. I have a few home projects that will also be making their way up and some cooking for the family so that we can eat healthy and well during and after our wait.
So Baby K or J will be joining our family December and I am super excited about that. Keep Checking back for sewing updates.

New Machine!

Kevin got me a new sewing machine today. A Singer Fashion Mate 6160. 60 different stitches, makes button holes, auto threader... Wonderful!! :) I am so excited about it and have really enjoyed sewing tonight. Well I will post pictures and maybe get my butt in gear and do Youtube soon. I have a few up coming sewing projects: I have to get some baby underwear made for Andrew. Kevin is taking us to Joann's to get some fabric for curtains for the dinning room and Andrew's room. I want to make a baby sheet set and comforter. I have 4 yards of black jersey for tee shirts for me. I have tons of fabric for skirts, and bloomers. Again will be posting pictures and info once I start and am finished. 

Cooking,,, Cheap Easy Bread

So I have been really bad about doing anything homey. Have had a bad headache for the past 2 weeks and seems like it is not going. So today in all my sickness I made a quick loaf of beer bread. I know, I know, I know really cheater way to make bread, but I wanted to make some bread to go with the split pea soup I wanted to have for dinner. I made a pot of soup and put it in the crock pot. I have a loaf of bread and diner is all set for when Kevin gets home. The recipe was so easy and fast:

3 Cups flour
2 Tablespoons, Sugar
1 (12oz) can or bottle of beer. (Whatever kind you drink.) I used Widmer Brothers: W'11 KGB

Mix all ingredients, put in a greased loaf pan and bake 350* for 1 hour. I don't like the dark beer and plan to make another loaf with a light beer that I'd drink. It is not too bad and I think it should go nicely with our soup.


Sewing related I got 3.5 yards of black jersey knit fabric to make some tee shirts for myself. If I can feel human long enough to make my pattern and cut it out. Sewing hasn't been a huge priority this year, birthdays, and baby shower and sickness has taken most of the start of the year.  I am not too happy about that and hope that things calm down a bit in the next few months. Seems like time is  moving too fast and as much as I want it to slow down it is just not happening. C'est la vie!
