Mug Parade on Easy Street 4 ~

 

 This was a productive weekend. 

We have all these Christmas mugs done,

 Larry's work- I love it!

~ Lydia's Hello Kitty is sure a cute one ~

 Jerry's had some fun too; kinda mosaic lookin'

  

-and only 1 finished mug rug this week-!

 ~~~and,  I've completed Easy Street part 4 Woo-Hoo!!

 

Paper piecing is my way for accuracy. I used my Triangulations CD.

There are 4 more days of school before the Christmas break. Happy!

Oh! Let me share the recipe I've been makin' and takin' these last few weeks, and I've shared the recipe every time. Yum ~

Cranberry Sour Cream Coffee Cake

cream together with blender:
 -1 stick butter    -1 cup sugar       
 -2 large eggs    -1 t. almond extract

in another bowl, stir together:
- 2 cups flour        -1 t. baking powder
-1 t.salt            -1 t. baking soda

add to creamed mixture alternately with:
 - 1 cup sour cream

Spoon into a 9 by 13 inch greased baking pan.

Open  

-1 can of whole berry cranberry sauce 

and stir
a bit to break it up. Drop about 9 spoonfuls onto
the batter, and then slightly cover over the sauce with
the batter...really, the batter kinda goes over the
berries by itself while baking.

Bake at 350 for 40 minutes. Cool.

Drizzle with a thick glaze made from:
-1 T. melted butter    -1 cup powdered sugar
-1 t. almond extract      -1 T. hot water

Merry Christmas 2012!

This one is for my friend, and boss ~

Can you believe, these mugs are in my oven for an overnight baking? I got the idea from my super creative daughter, who directed me here:
