...and all through the house, all is
quiet. For the first time in almost 27 years I will not be with any of
my children "on" Christmas. I will see them of course - at the New
Year. But it is a strange feeling not to have any hustle and bustle
around here. Still, I am thankful to have so many friends and feel
blessed beyond measure that I am living my dream in this beautiful Hill
Country sanctuary I now call "home". Winter on the Guadalupe has a
beauty all it's own and the simple joy of watching the water slowly roll
by is "soul" food to be sure. I get so much inspiration here and I can
hardly wait to start putting the pen to the page and the needle to the
cloth!
The Studio is coming along nicely and I am looking
forward to my long-arm arriving on the 17th of January! Merry
Christmas to me!! :-) This web-site is still a WIP and a lot more work
than I thought it would be. But.... progress just the same.

An Elegant Offering!
Orginal Post 12/21/11
Here's a Wonderfully delicious l'il nip to share with friends on Christmas Eve. I make this every year and it's one of my favorite toddies (and everyone else's)! It'll keep for about a month in the fridge but.... I'll bet it won't last the night! :-) It would also make a great gift. Why not wrap a bottle in a hand-made wine bag. After all, presentation is everything! Cheers!
White Chocolate Liqueur:
1 - 14 oz. can Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk
1 1/2 Cups Heavy Whipping Cream
1 Cup White Chocolate Liqueur (I use Godiva brand)
2/3 Cup Grey Goose Vanilla Vodka
1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
2 tsp. Freshly Ground Nutmeg
Pour all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into an air-tight container and store in the refrigerator. Shake well before serving. Serve Chilled with a Dark Chocolate curl garnish.
P.S.: I didn't say anything about this being calorie free!!! ;-)

Not the construction so much - that's the easy part. But.... that old
devil lives in the details and I'm throwing salt over my shoulder and
prayers to the Heavens to keep that bugger at bay!At least this part is working! :-) I
am looking forward to sharing my quilting journey and hope you'll visit
often! Thank you for your patience while I get all of this going! The
classes and schedule should be posted by Wednesday! As always...
