Sunday Mornings…

Posted on Leave a comment

I love Sunday mornings.  We always celebrate being together by having a special breakfast, accompanied by fancy drinks.  It is a little known fact that you can pick up decadent syrups from coffeehouses like Starbucks inexpensively and then fix drinks for yourself at home.

Today we had Cinnamon Mochas.  Here is how we made them:

Ingredients:
chocolate milk (or regular milk with chocolate syrup – 2% is best but anything will work)
coffee
slightly sweetened whipped cream
Cinnamon Dolce syrup (but any flavor works!)
ground cinnamon
Directions:

Make coffee.
While coffee brews, steam the milk, stirring occassionally.  You can mix the chocolate milk with regular milk if you prefer a less chocolatey flavor.
Combine coffee and milk in the mug as desired.  (For kids, either omit the coffee or make decaf.)
Stir in syrup to taste.
Top with whipped cream and sprinkle on a bit of cinnamon to garnish.
Note:  This may or may not have been inspired by my new line of fabric for Robert Kaufman.  (I see a lot of decadent desserts in our future – hint, hint!)

Sew Much Fun!

Posted on 1 Comment

Yesterday we paid a visit to “Sew Much Fun” , a fantastic fabric store in Gastonia North Carolina.  If you are ever in the area you must go.  They have a huge selection of patterns, fantastic machines and notions, and miles and miles of beautiful quilting fabric. 

They had a display of Robert Kaufman’s Dr. Suess “Cat in the Hat Fabric”.  I love the panel print – it would make a quick, easy, and colorful baby quilt.

Am I the only one who salivates at the sight of ricrac and ruffled trim?

We found this great little deep-brown pom-pom trim, which coordinates perfectly with my next collection.  (News to come about that soon.)  The ricrac is from Mary Jos – a huge fabric warehouse less than a mile down the road.  Have a great weekend everyone!
