Stocking the Shop

I spent today gathering up all the items I have been working on for the last few weeks and finally put them up in my shop at Lucky Ladybug Designs on etsy.







I have been crocheting tons of cotton cloths...you can find sets of 2 or three.








































This has to be my favorite new item...the Lil Ditty Bag with yo-yo embellishment.


Stop by and see all my new items! Remember that Christmas is only six months away...now is the time to start your shopping.


God bless!

Summer Recipe for Creamed Cucumbers - July 3 Blog Carnival

I have three foods that I love especially when they are fresh picked in the summertime: corn on the cob, tomatoes and cucumbers!

Here is my husband's recipe for creamed cucumbers. I love the tart apple cider vinegar with the smooth cream. This gets devoured in our house every summer.

2 or 3 cucumbers sliced
apple cider vinegar
whipping cream

place the sliced cucumber in a bowl. Pour in apple cider vineger enough to cover all the cucumbers. Cover bowl and place in fridge for 3 to 4 hours (overnight if you like the vinegar taste).

Pour cucumbers into a sieve to drain. Put the drained cucumbers back in the bowl and pour in whipping cream until covered. Place covered bowl in fridge until time to serve.

We are starting to pick cucumbers from our garden so I will be making a batch in the near future!

God bless!!
