Cake Pops

 I got this new book from my sister for Christmas and couldn't wait to try it out!  It is the Cake Pops book by the baker and blogger Bakerella.  You can see her blog at www.bakerella.com  

Let's see what kind of a mess I can get into with all this good stuff!

I made the "Simple Santa Hats" and this is what they are supposed to look like...

Mine don't quite look the same!  The recipe is supposed to come out with 48 cake pops, however I made them a bit larger (by accident) so I only got about 26!  Can't wait to make more!  Next time I will buy the lollipop sticks and maybe they will turn out even better! :-)

I'm said to report a great loss today...my sewing machine died.  After getting 3 opinions, it was named "un-reparable."  Time of death: 11:08am 15 December 2010.  Maybe I should take up knitting so I don't have to worry about something electronic crashing on me again!

On a happy note I was on The Quilt Shoppes blog roll today!  You can check it out at www.the-quilt-shoppe.blogspot.com.  Thankfully I already completed my Christmas gift sewing!  

What's the best brand of sewing machine to buy these days.  And is buying an older machine better than buying a new one?

Bad day

 So, I get back from taking my laptop in to get repaired and have sometime to start quilting and I get about 10 inches into the quilt and my machine stops working!  Bah Humbug!  Guess I have to find a repair place for a sewing machine too now.
