Maddie's New Summer Dress

My growing granddaughter modeling

her new maxi dress I made for 

her this past week.

 She enjoyed that it had a twirl in the dress!!

I purchased the pattern on Etsy and the pattern and 

website follows.

It did take about 3 1/2 yards for a size 6.

There are a lot of ruffles in the dress.

It was pretty easy to make. 

The website is here

I got the pattern very quick plus bought two more patterns

I made the lace leggings, but forgot to get a picture of her in the leggings.

They turned out very cute!

 VioletteFieldThreads is the name of the Etsy shop, love her patterns!

Maddie Makes Cookies

When my little granddaughter comes for a visit,

we usually end up sewing or cooking something!

This day we are cooking!

Making cookies to be precise.

And since she is Type 1 diabetic,

we are trying some peanut butter cookies with Splenda.

She loves to help in the kitchen and of course tasting is part of cooking!

The recipe we used is below.

Peanut Butter Cookies

1 c. creamy style peanut butter

1/4 c. egg substitute

2 T. honey

1/2 t. vanilla extract

1 c. Splenda

1 1/2 c. all -purpose flour

1/2 t. baking soda

1/2 t. salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cream margarine and peanut butter with mixer in large bowl.

Add egg sub., honey, and vanilla. Beat on med/high speed for approximately 1 min.

Add Splenda and beat on med. speed until well blended.

In small bowl, combine flour, soda and salt. Add slowly to peanut butter mixture.

Mixture will be a little crumbly.

Roll tsp. size dough into balls and place on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.

Using a floured fork, flatten each ball making a crisscross pattern.

Bake for 7-9 mins. Cool on wire rack.
