Pin Keep and apple cake

 Since I have retired from my school nurse job, I am having fun catching up on some crafting projects.

I finished a pin keep pattern by, Joyce Reed.

I live near an apple orchard so I love getting fresh apples and making apple pies and apple cakes.

I am sharing an apple cake recipe. I use 6 cups of apples instead of the 3 cups. I bake it in a 9" x 13"

pan at 350 degrees, for 45 minutes.

Candy Land swag

 I love watching you tube videos on dollar tree or inexpensive DIY,s. I found a you tuber that I really like. Her you tube channel is called,  My DIY, she has the cutest video's and always has her cute dog Coco in the video. I made her Candy Land Christmas swag today using two $1.00 Christmas trees from dollar tree. Supplies are from dollar tree and walmart with the exception of the roll of deco mesh from family dollar.

I will attach the link to her video below.

I cannot leave comments on other Blogs

 I am not sure what is going on, but I am receiving comments but am unable to leave comments on other blogs. I am enjoying reading your blogs, but don't know how to fix this. Please don't think I am ignoring you. Thanks Lecia     Wool applique I had made earlier, Tractors All Around, pattern by Buttermilk Basin

New Wool Applique

 It's not too early to be thinking of Christmas projects. I finished this wool applique, by "Buttermilk

Basin", it was a fun project. 

Happy Fall

 I really like the beauty of Fall. The leaves changing, the crisp cool air, apples, apple cider, pumpkins, a

toasty fire in a woodstove. West Virginia in the fall.

. I am working on some items for Christmas, I won't show, as I have made some gifts. I 

made 2 new wreaths for fall. I love decorating my 3 tier tray for the different seasons, sharing a photo.

  I am enjoying my grandchildren, I am posting a picture of Ruby and Parker.

 We have a new member added to our family. 

Parker Joy, she was born July 28, 2020.

 I also like to bake and make things in the fall, I am sharing a 

quick and easy recipe,and yummy.

 I finally finished a Christmas cross stitch that I started last year.
