MY ALL TIME FAVORITE COMFORT FOOD-Wisconsin Mac and Cheese

1 1/2 C. Macaroni Noodles
1 1/2 C. Milk
2 T. flour
Salt and Pepper to taste
2 C. Grated Cheese (I use Colby/Monteray Jack 0r COJACK)

Boil Noodle and drain, make a white sauce of milk and flour, if you don't know how to make a white sauce, just take a little milk and the flour and mix it together, don't mix the 2 T. of flour into the 1 1/2 c. milk or you will have lumpy sauce (but that is OK TOO, it tastes the same just lumpy) when you get the white sauce made, mix in the cheese (I do all this in the pan I make the sauce in) then add the noodles and mix til all the noodles are covered. Bake in Casserole Dish at 350 for 30-45 minutes. MMMM GOOD and helps keep the dairy farmers in business too. :)

WOW

More and More Vintage Thingie Thursday people every week, this is sooo much fun, sharing everyone's treasures, I am sure having fun, meeting new bloggers, finding new things to "Collect" and checking out all the sites along the way, anyway I think everyone should go visit
http://cynthiascottagedesign.blogspot.com/ Cynthia is giving away a hand painted sign and believe me they are beautiful. Go check it out. And now I have a question for all of you vintage embroidery people, has anyone seen any embroidery for sewing room things, ie: sewing machines, thread spools, bobbins, etc. since I am making new valances for my sewing room I woul sort of like them to be sewing room oriented instead of kitchen oriented. If you have some ideas I would be thrilled to hear them. TIA, Jeanne

Vintage Thingie Thursday

Ok, here are a couple of my favorite Aunt Martha's Transfers (Coloradolady, I looked to see if I had that one you are looking for and Sorry to say I don't) but they are SOOO MUCH FUN, got these so I can redo my feedsack tea towel valances when I want a change.

Finally FRIDAY

A girlfriend is coming over tomorrow and we are going junking and quilt shop hopping all day long. Should be a fun day, today I cleaned out my car (so there is room to bring home all the treasures we find) and worked. Now I am home putting away all the stuff from my car and picking up a little bit. I feel like SPRING CLEANING even tho it isn't spring yet. Want to do some rearranging but don't know if I will get that accomplished, tonight DD# 1 is coming home to spend the night (MY SEWING ROOM IS HER OLD BEDROOM) so I need to get the floor cleaned up so we can throw the futon mattress down in here, lots to do so I better get busy. I will post tomorrow night with all the good stuff we found. Keep your fingers crossed for us!

Vintage Thursday Thingie

Here are 2 of my vintage pin cushions, notice how the pink one has little hangers on the bottom and the greem one has a bow to hang it from. They both have vintage home made flowers (out of lace etc. and the brown one has rick rack and the pink one has rich rack and sequins. LOVE THEM!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS SO MUCH FUN AND I HAVE SO MUCH VINTAGE STUFF, I can't wait to share it all. :) Jeanne

FINISHED!!!!!!!!! Well Almost

I worked on my little table topper (Inspiration Sew, Mamma, Sew) yesterday, got it all finished but the binding. I have the binding sewed to the front but just pinned so that is why it looks a little wonky, turned out just how I pictured it, it is a table topper for a book shelf in my sewing room and my sewing room is pretty much vintage so I wanted this to look vintage, even machine quilted it myself (I AM SPOILED) I have this awesome long arm quilter who does EVERYTHING FOR ME, all I have to do is sew the top, take the top, my backing fabric and the fabric I want for the binding and she provides the batting, sandwiches, quilts and BINDS FOR ME, so this is my practice project and I am thrilled with the way it turned out. :)Thanks to Sew Mamma Sew for the idea. And NO IT ISN'T WIDER AT THE TOP Than it is at the bottom, must be because the strips are different widths, I looked at this photo and thought JEEZ, how can it be that much different, but measured it and it is the same width the whole length down. :)WHEW, had me going for a minute there.

Snowy Sunday Morning

Snow is finally over and it is a wonderful day out, sun is shining, temperature is decent (above zero anyway) and I have all sorts of things to do today but thought I would post some pics of this mornings snow fall first. Hope you all enjoy them. BTW, doesn't my clothes line look lonesome up there on the hill, I can just hear it calling the sheets and towels,
