Some Snicestorm pictures... ;o)









My first attempt at sewing a dress for Miss Emma






I got a sewing machine from my awesome husband for Christmas this year. I finally had time to sit down and use it this last week. Emma has been outgrowing her dresses and I wasn't finding any in the stores that she liked. When did my 3 year old start being picky about what dress she wears?! Anyway!...I took her to Hobby Lobby and she chose some material that she liked. She calls this one her lollipop dress. =) I still have one more to go but they will be the same pattern. My Mom helped me by making the pattern and reminding me how to make button holes. I know I learned this in my sewing class 5 years ago but ...wow that was a long time ago. ;o)

Roscón de Reyes










Como aqui en USA no puedo encontrar un roscón como los que se hacen en España...pues usé una receta que tenía mi madre en un libro de cocina española. =) Y en una tienda que se llama World Market encontré chocolate a la taza (Torras) hecho en Girona!!! Ahora a ver a quien le va a tocar el Rey, porque el año que viene lo tendrá que cocinar y no comprar. jajaja

"En el roscón hay bien ocultas, una haba y una figura el que lo vaya a cortar hagalo sin travesura. Quien en la boca se encuentre una cosa un tanto dura, a lo peor es la haba o a lo mejor la figura. Si es el haba lo encontrado este postre pagarás, mas si ello es la figura coronado y Rey serás."
