Apple Cake

Now, I know this isn't the season for granny smith apple recipes, but I had to share this one. This tasty & moist apple cake is packed with flavor! The recipe is going to take you on a whirlwind just by the measurements used. But..... I pass it onto you, the way I received it....... so here we go!!!


Apple Cake





Take 8 (small) granny smith apples, peel and grate.
It's easier if you peel all of them first and let them soak in lemon water
before grating
so they don't turn dark.
Add 7 espresso size cups of sugar to your grated apples.
Mix together & set aside until
the apples let out their juice
(about a 1/2 hour)

Then add 7 espresso cups of flour
1 espresso cup of vegetable oil
1 cup of raisins
1 teaspoon of baking soda
&
1 cup of grated or chopped walnuts
(Add the zest of 1 lemon if desired)

Mix it all together:)
I used non-stick spray on a 9x13 pan
Bake at 325 until golden brown & your toothpick comes out clean.



This is a super fun & delicious cake! I made it recently for Lent because it requires
no eggs or butter:)
I hope you give this a try and add it to your favorite recipes!

P.S. For those who are adoring the plates. I was fortunate enough to have my mother pass down to us her wedding gift of beautiful, hand painted, European dessert plates. Just take a look! Each one is soo unique and different. The set of 6 came with a cake plate as well & is enjoyed only on special occasions. Truly a keep & treasure:)

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

The Ogden Cami ~ A Review

Hello friends! I hope you all had a wonderful February and a great start to March! Spring is right around the corner and I'm counting down to daylight savings on March 10th! Hooray for longer sunshine! Lately, I've been longing to go back to stitching up clothes. And... I ended up finding the cutest pattern to get me back in the groove at Hawthorne Threads . The Ogden Cami by True Bias Patterns is perfect and quite simple! I started off by making a test run with some red, light-weight fabric, figuring if this comes out good, I'll have 2 tops! And guess what? It came out awesome! Making a practice piece was a great idea. It's always recommended and there are so many reasons why. In the instructional booklet, I wrote myself little notes.  ~ cut the fabric 1/4" larger at the sides so I can use a serger. This will allow me to have finished ends and still a good seam allowance.  ~ cut the straps 1/2" larger, so the

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
