Franklin County Fair

Here is the red sweater I made for my grand daughter Lauren for her birthday. I entered it into the Franklin County Fair and won 2nd prize. It is hard to see the detail so when I get it back I will try to get a better shot. I only wanted to get a ribbon so I could give it to her with the sweater. It was fun to see all the crafting there. Till next year. (Please do not tell her or her mommy. It is a surprise)

Baby Bootie

Here is 1 baby bootie I made today for Jackson's day. I fell in love with this pattern and just had to try it out.

FAMILY FAVORITE ECLAIR RING

Here is my family's favorite eclair ring recipe:

1 cup water
1/4 lb. butter or margaring(1 stick)

Bring to boil, turn heat down to low and add 1 cup flour; 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir fast until dough layer leaves sides of pan; quickly put into a larger bowl and add 4 eggs all at once. Use beater until smooth. Grease pizza pan or large cookie sheet. Place dough to form a circle or 2 smaller circles. Bake 400 degrees for 40 min. Shut oven off when done and leave in oven for 15 additional minutes.

FILLING

2 1/4 cups milk
2 -4 1/2 oz. pkgs. instant vanilla pudding (smallest size)
1-41/2 iz. Cool Whip

Add milk to pudding . Beat until a little thick. Refrigerate. Then fold in cool whip. Cut off top of ring---fill with pudding and put top back on. Frost with chocolate frosting. (I use canned and I melt it in the microwave alittle and pour over the top of ring.)

This recipe has been in my family for years. There is never a time that it is ever left over. I am making 2 of these for the baptism. I figured this is a good time to share it with all of my knitting and crafting friends. Enjoy!!!!!!!

Jackson's Christening Outfit

Finally it is done. I put the

buttons on the romper and the blue

ribbon on the cap. I tried it on him

last weekend and I had to shorten

it an inch and take the pants in some.

The next time you see this he will

be in it. I have enough of the wedding

dress left to make a girls outfit someday.
