Are You My Momma

The babies are growing! Millie has been coming in for extra treats these days!

They have their eyes open now!

Another momma cat has moved in and takes care of the kittens with Millie. This cat did not have any surviving kittens, so I guess she thought she would help out!

Have you ever seen such?

One Week Old

Millie's babies are now one week old! Despite our best efforts, one kitten didn't survive the first night so the litter is down to five. Millie is a wonderful momma cat and they are growing!

Sewing Lesson: Binder Cover

I gave Heidi a sewing lesson today since she has had a sewing machine for a while that she hasn't used. She made a binder cover that turned out awesome! She did a great job and I think the sewing/quilting bug has bitten again! I think I will add this project to my To Do list! We had an adventure filled day complete with helping a lost dog find his way home.

Millie Has Kittens

Millie finally had her babies- six babies to be exact! Of the six babies, five are calico which means they are females. The other kitten appears to be a grey tabby. I will keep y'all updated as they grow!

Easter Baking

This year I made cinnamon buns for our church breakfast after the sunrise service. I made bird's nest cupcakes, jello eggs, and coconut pies for our family gatherings. I didn't get a picture of the finished eggs but I guess I wasn't allowed to fill them as a kid since I still can't do it without making a mess! This was the first time I made cupcakes from scratch! They were lemon cupcakes topped with cream cheese icing then a birds nest!

Happy Pi Day!

One of my friends at work talked me into making pies to celebrate Pi Day. It didn't require much arm twisting before I was in on the fun. I made a coconut pie and mini strawberry pies. She made a peanut butter pie and a grasshopper pie. They were all delicious!! I took some pictures of the process of the mine pies. Enjoy!

Mini Cinnamon Rolls!

They were a perfect Saturday morning breakfast! I found the orginal recipe on Iowa Girl Eats found here: http://iowagirleats.com/2011/11/23/8-minute-mini-cinnamon-rolls/ . There are step by step pictures. Thanks Kristen for a great recipe!! The next batch I make I will try to roll them tighter so they rise more in the center like those in Kristen's post. I also used cream cheese icing instead of maple icing.
