My Summer Oasis

Thought today I'd share a few pics of what I call "my little summer oasis"! I so want a summer room but this is a big house and we don't think we'll be here too much longer, so to put another room onto this house at this point just isn't in the plans. Picture of hubby watering, he doesn't know I even took it, lol!
Hope your all having a sunny day, we are but there's rain coming our way from Chigago that they say will be here by 5 0r 6pm, ugg!

Some Random Pictures Today!

So sorry I haven't been posting much....it's that time of year for art shows and so much to do! Will I ever learn how to manage my time more wisely!

So taking some pictures of jewelry this morning I wondered out into the yard, took some pictures and thought I'd share. We have really strange weather today, very humid and warm, sun in, sun out, a little rain but some storms are on the horizon ;( That's my little Maggie, guess she either wanted to smell some flowers or wanted in the picture!

Blooming Flower Necklace

Just listed in my Etsy shop and also testing to see if Blogger has problem fixed from the past several days!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful long holiday weekend!

ANGEL PUFF BREAKFAST

RECIPE: Angel Puff Breakfast

FROM: The SnowBird Inn

1/2 lb. shredded cheddar cheese

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

12 eggs

1/2 lb. shredded Montery Jack cheese

1/2 cup melted butter (yikes!)

1/2 cup flour

1 pt. small curd cottage cheese

Pre-heat oven 350

Beat eggs till light and fluffy then add remaining ingredients and stir gently till blended.

Pour into 9 x 13 baking dish and bake 30 minutes

For a variety try adding 1/2 lb. cooked ham, bacon, sausage or fresh brocolli.

* I add sausage (Bob Evans) and fresh brocolli (I put the brocolli in the microwave till tender) Our family loves this dish especially on Christmas morning! ENJOY!!!!

I MUST CONFESS A COUPLE OF THINGS....I didn't not have hubby buy the Montery Jack cheese so I substituted Muenster cheese and it was delicious! So I guess add what ever cheese you love♥ ALSO....I thought I had butter but didn't so I used "smart balance 50/50 butter blend and it was still delicious!

This is the 4th time I have tried to post this morning, grrrr. I wish I would learn how to do posts so they look like everyone elses. Can't figure out how to delete pictures once uploaded, can't get my text the way I want it, sorry for the lousy look to this post ;(

RECIPES COMING MONDAY!

Okay, so I made our breakfast this morning and took some pictures of it...but you'll have to wait till tomorrow for the recipes. I'm also making something else today that I usually make with this breakfast recipe and it's something sweet! So be sure and check in tomorrow for these wonderful recipes from "the snowbird inn" bed and breakfast way up in Northern Michigan. We had a wonderful stay there and a fabulous breakfast I just have to share with you!

Here's a few pics I took this morning, hope you enjoy! The hanging basket is my Mother's Day gift from my daughter! It's so beautiful♥

The other pictures is a beautiful wreath I had special made and I love how it turned out. After I paid for it I thought how I could have saved myself some money and made one myself.....but besides being very busy with upcoming shows I am NOT a floral designer! I may have mentioned in another post earlier on I saw this frame idea online (maybe Flickr) and of coarse the wreath gets changed with the seasons.

Hope you're all having a sunny day, it's a little cool here but beautiful!
