ITS CHRISTMAS TIME

HOORAY! FOR CHRISTMAS!

We Believe in Santa and here's the reason why?

We are so excited here at Lazy Daisy Cottage...

We have some exciting new ideas

for Christmas Presents...

Not only do we have gift certificates

we have a new Charm Idea...

These are pre-ordered items for Christmas!

Choose from the two varieties

using the Number of Children

or Grandchildren

or the Letter from your last name

on the front of the charm

and then...

on the back all the names

of children or grandchildren

will be printed on the back side

This is a great gift idea

for the person who has everything

and you need a little something unique

these orders can be called in

and we will ship them out to you...

Cost of the Charm will be $30.00

Great item to put on the wish list!

Dana,

the owner has achieved CRAZY 8....

Eight grandkids?

Who'd have thought?

Just when I sat down

and began my hand work

things got really crazy...

just imagine trying to photo eight

sticky, whiney, hungry, tired,

hot, cold, happy, sad,

but especially cute little ones..

course a charm hanging on my neck

with all their names reminds me of my blessings!

With the recent arrival of number 8

they will be listed on the back of my charm as...

Hannah,

Carson,

Haigen,

Mason,

Ellie,

Bentley,

Cali,

and Paizlee...

New Arrival Of Jewelry!




Vintage Necklaces

with buttons and charms

you must stop by to see

what great present for Christmas.

Also great new Charms with a great Selection!



These newest Chains are piled high with charms and crystals.



Remember to put your order in

the order for your mom or grandma

or just simply for yourself...

And here's why we believe in Santa...

He always gets you what you want...

and just to make sure you can help him out a bit!...

You can act surprised when you open it!

Simply wrap in your favorite paper

all tied up with a bow

and place the tag on the front which reads...



TO: ME

FROM: SANTA



I BELIEVE IN SANTA

Thanksgiving Blessings

Using quilts for holidays....

makes decorating fun and festive!

Use on shelves, ladders,

tables or over the back of the couch.

Using quilts as table toppers

adds color and variety

to your holiday tradtions!

This quilt is an original quilt design

called Pumpkin Sky it has been a favorite.



Using traditional blocks

in fall colors creates a unique quilt.

This quilt was made

from a neighborhood quilt group

as a block exchange.

Extra blocks were left-over

so they became a label on the back of the quilt!



MIXED BLESSINGS

This is a fun idea

for your Thanksgiving Dinner table favors.

Each is filled

with the items listed below,

wrap in celophane bags

and tie with ribbons and bows,

place card on each

with the Thanksgiving message attached.

If you would like to stop by

and pick up a card with the message attached

so you can make your favors

we have a sample ready for you to pick up

and make copies for your guests.

A Mix of Blessings

BUGLES: Each is shaped as a Conucopia or Horn of Plenty to remind us of our ancestors and our heritage and that our lives are filled with blessings.

PRETZELS: They represent our arms folded in prayer to give thanks.

CANDY CORN: A lesson on Frugality. During the first winter the pilgrims were each allotted only 5 kernels of corn per day because the food was so scarce. The next year was a bounty as ours can be.

DRIED FRUIT: Thanksgiving is the celebration of the harvest from the field and trees. Preserve harvest for times of need and share.

NUTS & SEEDS: Seeds represent future hope and promise, the potential of a bounteous harvest for the next season if they are planted and well tended.

THE MIX: We are each given a unique combination of blessings. Give thanks and enjoy them!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

enjoy the holiday feast

and the time you spend with loved ones.

Yoyoville

Another work in Progress!

This quilt is not for the weak.....

although it is a lot of work it definitely is worth it!

As you work with the charm squares

they are cut down in circles...

which you use for the yo-yo's.

The clover yo-yo maker makes them quick and accurate!

This quilt requires you to make 197 yo-yo's....

so by the time you have made about 195

you're considered a true and licensed builder ...

qualified to construct a home for yoyoville.

Seeing this quilt in person made me realize...

it was a must have project!

The houses, trees and flowers bordering this quilt...

melts your heart!

Although the work required in applique

definitely makes this quilt not...

"A Quilt in a Day Project"

but it puts a smile on my face

every time I pick it up and

work hour after hour.

69x87

Cutting kits has also required a lot of time.

We have given a lot of variety...

using the Moda line from

" Simple Abundance"

while adding matching plaids, dots, florals etc.

to give more variety and color.

It is turning out to be irrestable

you'll just have to see it for yourself!

Completed kits are available

Carne Asada

Pictured are the secret ingredients for this recipe...

Now not a secret...

Pinto Bean Seasoning

(found at Harmons Grocery Store on season aisle)

Carne Steak and Meat Seasoning...

found at Mexican Markets

(in St. George Three Amigos on Bluff Street)

Recipe:

Begin with Flank Steak

amount depends on how many your cooking for.

(I use the Flank Steak from Costco.)

Cut thin diagonally.

Season with above seasoning,

pinto bean seasoning and carne steak seasoning.

use generously .

also a sprinkle of garlic salt and course ground pepper.

Place meat in frying pan

with 2-3 tsp vegetable cooking oil.

Cook on high heat quickly

and remove meat

leaving dripppings in the pan.

Add finely chopped red and yellow peppers

and onion .

Again depends on how many you are serving.

I like to use the small bag of peppers from costco

and I use about 12 peppers

and 1/2 onion.

Fry in reserved juice from meat adding additional oil if needed.

When peppers are cooked to desired tenderness ,(I like them cooked extra like fajita mix)

add meat to pepper mixture.

You can also add a fresh jalapeno pepper if you like.

When complete serve with warmed tortillas,

sour cream, lettuce, cheese,

tomatoes, fresh salsa, avocados, etc.

This is a must try recipe quick and easy..

.OLE'

Who says a blonde white girl .....

can't cook like a Mexican Seniorita?

Happy Camper Vintage Quilt

Theresa, our machine quilter has a BA.....

(Bad Attitude).

JK

(Just Kidding).

This quilt is a machine quilters worst nightmare,

it could put them out of business

or just give her time to catch up!

WHEW!

Using 5"charm squares

cut a template....

and get the rounded triangle shape.

Simple and quick

this is our new idea for a camp quilt...

(who are we kidding?)

who likes to camp

we mean a quilt to use in the car...

on the way to the resort....

haha...

also great at picnics and ball games.

Because we used a Kaufman Denim on background

it is dark and durable.

Stitching backing,
batting and top squares...
which you have glued in place ....
means when complete the quilt is done and quilted....


One section of four completed squares...
when sewn together creates a quilt to measure 80x80!
Come in or stop by as we are a work in progress...
Watch for the completed version of the Happy Camper Vintage Quilt!

Memories

Meet Maude Bently Broadbent

86 years old

During our Yard Sale Maude visited our shop.

She shared stories of her childhood growing up in this home..

which now is the home to Lazy Daisy Cottage

and all of us.

Maude mentioned many visitors

who stayed here in this house in the front bedroom

which is now the main fabric and cutting room

we often refer to it as the counseling center.

As we cut and stand around putting kits together

we discuss problems, questions,

concerns and everyone gives advice

while laughing and sometimes crying together.

She mentioned many special visitors,

President Grant and David O. McKay were a few.

No wonder why this cutting room feels so special.

We have often mentioned

if the walls in this old house could talk what they would share with us?

It was fun to think of all the great memories

in the past and how they continue to surround Lazy Daisy Cottage!

History continues to happen and it happens with

Lazy Daisy Cottage!

The Big Day
