A DELICIOUS Summer Dessert

So one summer day MearKat was making cinnamon butter and I had the idea of peach cobbler but then someone had the idea of peaches sauteed with cinnamon and sugar so we made some! :) They were heavenly delicious! Here is the (very easy) recipe:

2 fresh peaches or nectarines

2 tablespoons butter

1/2 -1 teaspoon cinnamon (depending on how cinnamon-y you want it)

3 tablespoons sugar (more if you want it more on the saucy side)

Slice the peaches or nectarines directly into a skillet. Add the butter and turn heat on to medium high. Once the butter melts and it is sizzling, add the cinnamon. Once the cinnamon is mixed in, add the sugar and cook until the peaches or nectarines are as soft as you want and there is a sticky sauce in the pan. Serving suggestion: toast some bread and butter with cinnamon butter (butter, cinnamon, and sugar) and place hot peaches (or nectarines) and sauce on toast.

It's as simple as that, folks!

I forgot to take a pic; they got eaten up so fast! :)

Well anyway, enjoy!

A Bag and It's Pattern

Well I suck! I have promised so much and have given so little! Well, actually nothing...

But I have just crocheted a bag! I just sat down one day and started creating. I am quite proud of myself. Even though it was easy. ;)

My mom thinks it is absolutely amazing that I can do that. :)

Well since I've promised you patterns and things, I will tell you how to make this purse. :)


You need:
A little less than a skein of yarn
Size H-8 crochet hook (although I think I crochet loosely so it would probably be more like an I-9)
A button (mine was 1 1/2" wide)
A yarn needle or something for weaving in ends

Note: It's okay if you mess up with the amount of sts you have in each rnd. It doesn't really matter.

BAG
Round 1: Ch 38. 2 dc into 3rd ch from hook. Dc across to end st. Dc 4 times into end st. Kind of turning around and continuing back down the other side, dc into next st and continue to beginning st. Dc 2 times in first st. Slst in first dc you made. (76 sts total)

Round 2: Ch 2. 2 dc in same st as the one the 2 chains are coming out of (ie first st). Dc in the next 36 sts. 2 dc in each of the next 2 sts. Dc in the next 36 sts. 2 dc in last st. Slst into first dc. (80 sts)
