Cream Cheese Frosting

Here's a recipe you might enjoy. I made it for cinnamon rolls last night, but it is delicious on any kind of cookie. I'm planning on putting it on my gingerbread men whenever I make some.

Cream Cheese Frosting

1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese
1 cube (1/2 cup) butter
1 tablespoon vanilla
dash salt
2 tablespoons milk
1 package (4+ cups) powdered sugar

Mix cream cheese and butter until soft, add rest of ingredients and mix until smooth. Add more powdered sugar as needed to get desired consistency.
This makes a lot--over 4 cups of frosting. You can always half the recipe if you need smaller amounts.

Merry Christmas! (Wish I could send you some of the treats myself!)

Pink Princess

Here she is. I'd like to make another dress with this pattern ... maybe after I forget about the time and stress it took to get this one finished.

Quilt

I made this quilt for my sister in law. I was going to wait and post when I could also post the picture of the quilt I'm making for my baby... but I am postponing finishing it while I make a pink princess Halloween costume (by the way, it is going to be a fabulous pink satin dress, so I will post a picture of it, too, when I am done.)

I loved this quilt so much I could have been tempted to keep it... but then I wouldn't have to make more.

If you want to make one, I got the tutorial off of Cluck Cluck Sew. And I used 2.5 inch strips of fabric to give me 8 inch blocks (7.5 inch when sewn together).
