Kelly Waterman Creates

Two new to me flavors this year — lemon and I made up a black raspberry chip, I honor of my favorite Graeters flavor … and then my standard raspberry pecan buried in powdered sugar. While these were a bit of a challenge since I decided to stop buying land o lakes butter (my go to for every day baking) because of their support of P2025 - butter makes a huge impact y’all … so I had to make major adjustments on the fly to get them to bake correctly. But despite the fact they don’t look fabulous … each flavor gets a thumbs up from my test kitchen …

Just to prove that not everything on the j tenet is perfect …. I’ve been making (well, pecan sticky buns) for my dad for his birthday for about 30 years … and THIS particular year … I had an epic fail… first proof was beautiful … the second proof just didn’t happen. These turned out more like noodles than bread. So we improvised and made chocolate gravy and pancakes … even that got a little thicker than normal, but it still tasted good.

Little sneak peek of my latest little quilt. He’s soooo cute! Pattern by called - I dropped it off with the long armer yesterday. Can’t wait to get him@back! My seams on this whole quilt (traditionally pieced) are 👌🏻 I love how much my cutting has improved thanks to the tips from at our modern quilt guild meeting last year!
