Mickey Mouse Sugar Cookies

 Good morning ! The littlest grandsons birthday party was this weekend with a Mickey Mouse theme so I made some sugar cookies to match. I use the recipe from Mrs. Fields cookbook for my sugar cookies.
 I didn't have a # 1 cutter or a Mickey Mouse cutter , so I drew them on paper and placed over the dough and cut around them with a knife.
 I made alot of the double decker ones, using stars and circles on top of the scaloped squares.


 He is just adorable !
I made myself another stack of dishcloths ( I made 3 more than this , but my daughter took some home ) .. These work so well for doing dishes if you can crochet , make some ! To make these I use cotton yarn..( Lily sugar and cream. I get 2 dishcloths out of each ball, except the multi color  yarn, I get 3 dishcloths out of 2 balls.) You can get this yarn on sale at Michaels for 1.00 a piece when on sale.) . chain 30 with a size g crochet hook.. single crochet in 2nd chain from hook to end , chain 1 turn ..siungle crochet into each single crochet across.. repeat until desired length.. I did 26 rows.



Thanks as always for stopping by and leaving your nice comments! Have a great week !

Dishcloths..remodel..and Santa

 It is Monday again! Thanks for visiting :) I did a little crocheting this week and made myself 6 new dishcloths.. I love using these to wash dishes , they work really well !

 Last week we got recessed lighting installed in the living room, dining room and foyer. The rest of the walls came down ( what a mess) and we ripped out the carpet and baseboards. This week the drywallers are supposed to start on Wednesday.
 This is the paint and carpet we are going with. It is hard to tell but its a grayish aqua paint .. the walls are now a sage green.
 The kitchen is so much brighter because of the larger opening into the dining room.



 Hard to believe that 2 weeks ago there was a wall here :)
 The opening into the kitchen from foyer was also enlarged.. We are going to need a new kitchen table that is smaller so it doesn't stick out. I am thinking a round one with a leaf for when we have more people here.



 The doorway from kitchen to dining room was enlarged about 3 1/2 feet ..It makes a huge difference.
 I have a couple more Prairie Schooler Santas finished and another about halfway done.
Thank you for your visits and nice comments ! I really appreciate them :)
