Missing in Action

I just want to apologize for being such a bad blogger *slapping hand repeatedly* life has gotten pretty busy in the Stertz household. Annika has been ear infection free for about a week. I just got over being sick. So I apologize that my posts have been far and in between. I hope to get caught up on some stuff. I haven't done much and probably won't for a bit until my house is back in order. But do not fear I will be back for my Sew...Sew...Saturday Post. I made a fun new diaper last week. So check in on Saturday!

Talk to you all later!

Sew....Sew Saturday

Well, I didn't get any sewing done this week. Annika hasn't been feeling the greatest. But my neighbor and I are working on sewing some shopping cart covers. She finished hers yesterday and I plan on making mine maybe today (maybe next week). :) I got the pattern from:

http://crafts.sleepingbaby.net/cart_cover.html

This is the only free pattern for a shopping cart cover that I could find. We made the simpler patter (the square one and will use either elastic or a draw string to connect this to a cart. So if you are in need of a shopping cart cover. You have come to the right place (well...to find one anyways).

Like I said I didn't get any sewing done, but I did finish my first official order for my new home business (Perfectly Named).

Have a great afternoon!

Out of the loop!

Sorry I've been a little out of the blogging loop. I took Annika to the doctor on Monday and it turns out that she has a double ear infection so they put her on meds for that and also an inhaler for her cough (which she has had since Thanksgiving). So I missed the dessert Tuesday...but stay tuned b/c I have a new recipe I just got and it's YUMMY!!!! And easy to make! Have a great day and I'll be back for Sew...sew...saturday!

Bloggy Giveaway

I have decided to cancel my bloggy giveaway as I am still waiting on my stamping stuff. I need to apologize. It's been kind of busy now and poor Annika has a double ear infection and is on amoxicillan and albuterol (not sure if these are spelled right). But be sure to stop back when the Bloggy Carnival rolls around I will attempt another giveaway then.

Dessert Tuesday

MMmmm...my favorite part of the week. Dessert Tuesday. Here is my first ever dessert Tuesday post....

When I got married my husband's family gave me a recipe box with all of their families recipes. I am excited to share some of those recipes with you!

This recipe is a very easy recipe and tastes soooo good!

Name: Cherry/Blueberry Dessert

Ingredients:
2 Cans of Pie filling (Cherry or Blueberry)
1 Box of White Cake Mix
1 Stick of Butter
Nuts (to your liking if desired) I skip this part, I'm not a huge nut fan

Instructions:

1. Spread the 2 cans of pie filling on bottom of a 9x13 glass baking dish.
2. Sprinkle the white cake mix over the top of the pie filling.
3. Melt the butter and drizzle it over the top of the pie filling.
4. If using nuts place nuts on top.

Bake for 40-45 minutes on Oven temp of 350 degrees.

Feel free to serve this with either whipped cream, cool whip (my personal favorite) or a scoop of ice cream.

We made this dessert when our youth group at church put on a banquet for the adults it was a big hit!!

Sew...Sew Satruday

Here is my first sew...sew Saturday post. This week I realized that Annika was getting to big for some of her cloth diapers. So this week I made her a new dipe. Here's some action pictures.



This was made with 2 layers of flannel, an old t-shirt (you'd never know), and a micro fiber rag from the car department of walmart (folded into thirds), a little velcro and some elastic...throw it all together and bang you got yourself a dipe!!
