You have seen her before, this is granddog Kora. She is staying for the next week. She came with Sweet B but sweet B left and Kora stayed for a little while longer while they travel a bit.
Her Pepe made a fun balance game. Sweet B and Pepe played quite a few games, she loved it.
She coffee dyed some large tags and then she stitched on them to make very fun bookmarks.
This is before the glue went on. I dug out some of the flowers I pressed this summer. B painted the canvas and arranged how she would like it and we mod podged it down.
She has a clear phone case so she jazzed that up too! She painted a piece of thin cardboard and stitched a bird on it, Perfect!
We had some old jewelry we took apart and made fun tassels on the bookmarks. All in all such a fun time with her, she is very creative.
I tried a "cracker" recipe that was on line ( you know I am always online ugg)
Here is the screenshot of the recipe.
Not sure if you ever purchased these in the past? My mom use to love them and felt it was a great treat to have them in the house.
Since I didn't have these I did have 5 ozs of a like cheese I used.
They were a bit bland I would add some spices next time or use a different cheese. But the texture was good and next time I will use almond flour to see if you can make low carb crackers.
My New Year's resolution was to keep track of food spending.
Everything keeps going up I just got a notice my cable/internet bill is going up. I thought I would show you how I make a small batch of pasta sauce. The decent jars of sauce has gone up to almost 8.00 crazy money! I put a bit of olive oil in a pan and put the tomato paste spread out and let it get a little caramelized then I added water or stock of your choice. If I don't have stock I use better than bouillon. then I add the spices I like and garlic. If you want onions/peppers etc I add it to the oil before I put in the tomato paste. Now this makes a smaller amount, perfect for 2 people.
We did our 3 miles this morning and some other time in the yard.
Sweet Kora is tired a very good tired!
Have a great week!

Quite a creative granddaughter you have. I remember those Kraft cheese spreads in the small glass jars. Am surprised they still make them, but then I've not looked for them so maybe they still are made.
A tired dog is a good dog in my experience. Time with a grandchild is always precious!
You are making so many crafty memories with Miss B. The acorn doesn’t fall too far from the tree 😊
Lora is a sweetie ♥️🥳
Rugs and Pugs
Kora…darn spellcheck or fat fingers. Not sure which 🤣
What a good time you’re having - love Cora’s sweet face and such artistic talent! Thanks too for sharing the recipe - I’ll have to try it.
Nice tags, the creativity has a lot of charm.
Sleepy dog, worn out from the fun
saute onion, chopped garlic in olive oil; add tomato paste, stir, then add the tomato sauce; boil to reduce. That's all I do for sauce.
Such fun and creative days you two had. Her stitches on that bird are so even and precise. I bet she loves coming to spend time with you and Pepe. Kora looks so very sweet...and right at home. ~Robin~
Your granddaughter seems to follow in your creative footsteps and that is very nice to see, Cathy. Your grand puppy looks very sweet and tired after that long walk.
Miss B is a real gem! So creative and I know she brings you and your hubby so much joy! It's great that you will dog sit and they don't have to put that sweet dog in a boarding situation. I like how you always experiment with recipes and then share them! I've never tried to make crackers. You are so right about the price of food. I was shocked how much eggs have gone up! I have the room for chickens but don't want the hassele of taking care of them. OH well, have a great weekend Cathy!
The flower collage looks great!! And those bookmarks using pieces of jewelry is an idea I just might try 💗
Looks like some creativity was going o in your house. How sweet. Our grocery ill has doubled now. Really sucks. I hope things change around soon. So glad Kora was there to make everyone smile I am sure as well. Janice
What a creative family! Sounds like a busy visit. I am so depressed about grocery prices. I can, I butcher, I buy when things are on sale and it still makes me sick to get groceries.
Miss B amazes me with her talent, especially at her age, very creative.
With my diet, I have to spend more on food, but I also stretch a meal out longer, so it evens out.
