Chocolate Chip Cookies

Now... I usually am not one to fall for those "World's Best" recipe stuff. But....this one caught me off guard and I have to share. These literally are the world's best chocolate chip cookies.

They are not your typical thin, crispy on the outside, homemade ones. They are soft, chewy, full & delicious. So here we go!

Cream 1/2 of a cup of butter, 1/2 a cup of margarine, 1 cup of brown sugar, and 1 cup of white sugar until it's super smooth.

Beat in 2 eggs, one at a time.

Put the mixer speed on low and add 1 Tablespoon of vanilla extract.

Then, get 1 Tablespoon of hot water and dissolve a teaspoon of baking soda.

Add that to your batter along with a pinch of salt.

Add 3 and 1/2 cups of flour with about a cup of m&m's or chocolate chips.

Indulge in these cookies after cooking them at 350 for 10-13 minutes. Don't cook them longer, and take them out as soon as the time is up. (Even if they don't look done, they are.) Let them
cool off just for a little bit:)

Hope you enjoy as these don't last more than a day at our house!

Evergreen Trees

Hello friends and fellow bloggers! I hope the start of 2021 has been full of good health, happiness, and love. Over here, I've been been busy enjoying the creative process, trying new things and attempting new horizons every which way possible. It truly feels like a good way to start the year. I wanted to share with you this adorable Evergreen Tree quilt. I've never done foundation paper piecing prior to this project, but can honestly say I'm hooked! This free printable pattern was found on Pinterest and was perrrrfect for a beginner like myself. Not to mention, it helped me use up nearly all my green scraps:) If you are new to FPP too, you'll want to make sure the first pattern you try is numbered. This will help you understand how the blocks should be created from start to finish. Every quilt is a one of a kind, but I have to admit, this takes it a step further. Also recommended, watching a few youtube videos. I'm a visual learner, and watching the videos reall...

January.... you're almost done!

Hello friends! I feel like it's been forever since my last post. I suppose some might even say I've been spending nearly all my time on the forefront of creative madness along with trying to continue healing. Holy smokes! Chemo and radiation will change a person forever. I'm continuing my healing journey, and staying hopeful that I'll remain in the 'clear' for a long time. It's odd, the way you feel, when everything you've gotten accustomed to: the running around, working day to day, rushing here and rushing there.... how quickly it changes when it's no longer a necessity. Yes, I am extremely thankful that my spouse supports and pushes for my healing time, omitting nurse life as it was, but like I told my girlfriend the other day, "how many craft projects can a girl possibly do?" ..... Well let me just tell you..... A LOT! Today's post will revisit some Instagram pics, (in case you don't follow along) with some of my most recent...

Crystal Knob Rack

So... what can you do with a piece of wood measuring 45 inches by 3 1/2? Well, if it's 1 inch thick, you can use it to make the cutest wall rack. But instead of using hooks, use drawer knobs! Here's how the idea got started. I needed a place to photograph kids aprons. Now, most of you know that my girls have been modeling them, but they can't model toddler aprons, right? All I could picture was a gorgeous crystal knob rack used to display those mini aprons I love to make. And after searching in stores and online, I realized they are not very easy to find. Soo...... "oooohhh hubby.... can you drill a few holes in this piece of oak wood I found in the barn?" Of course he did it in a heart beat & he even sanded it down too! The holes were positioned like this: I did the two outer ones first, then measured to the center in between those. And again, the middle of the center and outer one. Got it? I took some regular creamy white wall paint I had left...
