Amish Bread Day

Good morning friends, Today is another splendid ordinary day.  It is also time for baking my Amish friendship muffins.  I chose to make pumpkin nut this morning and they smell so savory sweet, can hardly wait for coffee break.  Last time I tried a new recipe using my sourdough starter.  I baked sourdough oatmeal cookies.  They were quite delicious with the cinnamon and sourdough flavor but next time I will add some raisins.  Hubby like raisins, so always have to butter him up,  just in case I need to hire his services for a prim project.

Just an update, I have been busy in my sewing room.  Made a pair of tan ticking pillow shams, grunged them a little bit and added vintage buttons down the front placket.  Also made a pair of vintage sunbonnets, grunged them with coffee  and cinnamon, they are ready to hang in the Cabin.  My vintage hanging scale is completed.  Rusted the tin pan for days outside (as I kept forgetting to bring it in) nice and rusty now, drilled holes in the pan to attach the chain that hangs from the round vintage scale.  I have it packed away ready to take to the Cabin, I will take pics of it out there and then will share.  I found an old wooden ironing board and vintage iron during my flea market search last week.  They will go to the cabin as well and will display nicely next to my washboard and wash tub.  
The Cabin Page  has been updated so head on over and take a peak.  Click on The Cabin under my other pages.  Hope you enjoy the story and continue to follow along.  As always I wish you all will experience the Magic Of An Ordinary Day today......Connie

Amish Bread Day


Today is Amish Friendship Bread baking day at my home.  I have been baking Amish Bread since last August.  Thanks to my #1 daughter, she got me started and now I can't stop.  The best part about baking the bread is the joy I receive when I give it away to family and friends.  Chocolate chuck nut was the recipe I used today and they smell so good.  Almost time for coffee break with my best friend, I'm sure we will have to sample this batch of muffins.  Instead of making the loaves of bread I make muffins, which has been a big hit with everyone.  I have a new blog that I follow and these girls are great.  Click on this link  Mennonite Girls.

 Remember all the great Fathers today, not only today but every day.  My Dad's spirit visits me often. Many times we shared the holiday, my birthday and Fathers Day, that was always special.  Dad is gone now but never forgotten.  In my heart I am still his little "spunk"  Love you Dad.........."Everyday is a Gift"
