On Vacation.....

I will be on vacation until March 4! I'm going to see Mickey and Minnie in the Magic Kingdom! I will miss all of you and I wish you could go with me! The time will fly by and in a week I will wonder where it went! I'm leaving on a jet plane.....(singing) See you all when I return!

A New Project.....

This was a Christmas gift from my Honey (DBF)...
This is a Proxxon Miter saw. It is used for crafting dollhouse miniatures. I am so proud of him because I never even hinted that I wanted one. He figured it out on his own! I was so surprised and happy when I saw it, that I just cried. I love it and I love him for tuning into my needs and wants so well. It is the best tool for getting accurate cuts and it goes from 45 degrees to 45 degrees the other way, and everything in between. It is easy to use and is great for cutting very tiny pieces. Now I can make all kinds of miniatures and have them be straight. It is so much easier using this saw.

Here is an example of some cuts that I made with the saw....

Can you guess what this is?

It's part of the new project that I've been working on.

I won't elaborate because it's a gift to someone very special to me.

I will show my progress after it's finished and presented to the recipient.

Now you know what has been keeping me away from my blog. lol

More Winter Wonderland.....

This is what we woke up to, AGAIN, this morning.....

More snow.....

Clinging to everything.....

It sure was beautiful.....

This is the snowbank at the back of the house..... We had to have our roof shoveled last Friday. So far, 150 buildings have collapsed in Massachusetts from heavy snow loads.

The picnic table is under that pile back there.....
Will it ever end? Eventually, it will.....

Cabin Fever........

is setting in...........
So, we've been looking for ways to entertain ourselves.........
I like to bake cakes, so I found this recipe for a Guinness (R) molasses cake and thought I'd give it a try. It turned out delicious. It is from a cake magazine that I have a subscription to. I am not sure if I can publish the recipe though. The cake is richly dense, made with Guinness Extra Stout Beer, molasses, cocoa and is "Strangely Good" as they say in the heading of the recipe. The icing is very good, too, and just melts in your mouth. Probably because it has a whole pound of butter in it!

OH SO GOOD!!!!
