It's a damp, gray, and rainy day here...just as well, as I am spending much of it painting the new plank flooring in the living room. If all goes as planned, I may actually have my couch and other furniture back in place by the end of the weekend--won't I be happy!
And, I also have two very good things to share--one is this Swedish Apple Cake from Baking with Dorie Greenspan {found here}...
~simple ingredients, easy to make, and oh so delicious...I was happily surprised. It was perfect with tea, and I can't wait to make it again.And, the second 'good thing' I have to share is this contest from Whooga for a pair of ugg boots...
Each and every month they give away a pair of their warm fuzzy boots--contest open to everyone in every country. I can feel that warm merino sheepskin now...
Have a great weekend!
Hi! I recently found your waffle knit dishcloth pattern, and I think I'm going to give it a try for Christmas presents! I have one question, you suggest using Lion brand yarn. My craft store doesn't sell that brand of cotton yarn, but it sells Sugar & Cream (I think that's the name =) Could I use ANY cotton yarn, or have you found that Lion is *better*? Thank you!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I may have to check out that contest to win UGG boots. They look cozy!
hey deb! the cakey thing looks great...and in a cast iron skillet!!
ReplyDeleteit's most definitely apple pickin' time here in west michigan, so i might have to give that a try!
Thanks for the recipe and thanks for the info on the boots. I love those boots and would love the win a pair!
ReplyDeleteHello Deb :)
ReplyDeleteThat cake looks delicious. I just might have to make some this evening :) I have never had a pair of those boots but they sure look toasty :)
Have a wonderful weekend!

Thanks for sharing the recipe and contest info! I've made your waffle dish cloth and love it! I can't quite figure out the mug cozy though, but I love it!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for the flooring, it sounds like hard work! That cake looks so nice.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much. Baked it. Ate it :-) Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThat Apple Cake looks so good. I may have to go and buy a cast iron skillet just to make it.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Thank you for the delicious recipe ~ can't wait to try it. ♥
ReplyDeleteHi Deb! Just had to make the Swedish Apple Cake. It disappeared very quickly around here -- even my quite finicky eight year old thought it was great. Thanks for the new recipe.
ReplyDeleteI love these boots and have entered. I want to win a pair.
