Mini Pot Pies

I seen this on TV and on Pinterest and had to try it. I used brisket instead of chicken. Used cream of mushroom not chicken. This was super easy. Then I used lipton onion soup mix to make a gravy to pour over it. Super easy and fast.

 

Another Christmas Card Insert

This is going into a Christmas Card for a friend I met years ago thru scrapbooking. I found this cute cup pattern on Pinterest and made it into my color choice. Then I found a very cute saying to put on it. Can't wait for her to get this.

Horse Head Cross Stitch

This is a Horse Head I found to cross stitch for a Christmas card insert. I have a friend in the Fort Worth Stockyards who loves horses. So I thought this year I would put an insert into the card.

Christmas Card Time

This year I thought I would make very special Christmas Cards for a handful of very special friends. I love this counted cross stitch pattern and thought I would use the aida 18 count to make it smaller to fit. I took some cards and cut the center out and put my picture in it. I thought this would be a gift that would keep giving. I finished off the edges so it can be taken out of the card and inserted into a frame for home displaying.

Honoring Haley's 25th Birthday

Today would have been
Haley Ashton Kings 25th Birthday.
 
This is Haley and her precious baby "Tiny"
 
 
Today Haley is celebrating her Birthday in Heaven with her Heavenly Father.
Sadly we lost our Haley on April 20, 2013. But we choose to celebrate this day to honor her. Our hearts are saddened not to have her here, but we know one day we will all be together forever in the presence of our Father. So I fixed a traditional German meal. German Sausage from a wonderful market in Muenster Texas. Some homemade Spaetzle and sautéed onions with bacon to top. A wonderful German potato salad.

Baby Dee Counted Cross Stitch

This is  a counted cross stitch I did of my husbands late little sister. I believe this photo is from 1960. Her name is Diane. aka Baby Dee. She was born with Spinal Bifida. I have always loved this black and white photo and thought it would be so pretty done cross stitched. 
 
What a BEAUTIFUL DOLL BABY !

In Loving Memory of Haley King

This is a cross stitch I did. This took months to do but look how gorgeous it turned out. I sent this off to her parents to have it custom framed. Her eyes are so pretty and her smile makes you wonder what was she thinking. lol
Rest in peace sweet little Angel!
