Sweet Celebrations


Welcome! Come on in and make yourself at home!

I am so thrilled to be a part of the second book in the Moda Bake Shop series along with all the other super talented Chefs in our industry.  If you already own the first book, Fresh Fabric Treats, then you know the variety of projects they contain and how great these books are. I would like to take just a second to give a HUGE THANK YOU to Moda Fabrics and Stash Books for putting together these creative and inspirational books of joy.


 
My contribution in the Sweet Celebrations book has to do with Graduation. It is a quilt that every high school or college student would love to receive and share memories with their friends. It would also make a fantastic gift for a special teacher from all her graduating students. To see a picture you will need to buy the book... I know the suspense! But, I am sure you will love it and find even more uses for the design such as a new baby, birthday, family reunion, or simply for a special friend.

Okay, Oda May has asked us a few questions so here it goes...

Do you prefer to celebrate with cupcakes, cake pops or just plain old cake?
Cupcakes all the way! Love me some cupcakes... currently trying to find an excuse for me to get some cupcakes just cuz they are so good... OH WAIT! A new book... perfect excuse for some cupcakes. LOL! I actually eat my cupcakes in a different way, less mess from the frosting but you still get to enjoy every last crumb! Check back Monday for my special cupcake eating technique... I promise you will start eating your cupcakes this way too once you see it.

When you picture Oda May, what does she look like?
In my mind, Oda May is a classy, timeless gal that doesn't take crap from anyone. She is tough but also as sweet as can be. She is the cream of the crop!

Tell us about your favorite apron.
I don't wear too many aprons, but when I do, I really like the butcher style aprons, bib and half. Being a tall girl, I like the length and the extra long straps so you can cross in the back and tie them in the front. My favorite apron is actually the French General Rural Jardin Butcher Apron that was sold a couple years ago.
How do you press your seams?
I prefer to press my seams all to one side. If I am topstitching then I generally press in the direction that I will be doing the topstitch so it holds the seam down. If I am working with heavy fabrics mixed with light weight cottons, then I will press the seams in the direction of the lighter weight cottons to help reduce the bulk.

Do your pets/kids/spouse help or hinder your creative process?
My KIDS definitely help my creative process. I started sewing again because of my kids. I wanted to make some cute things for my daughter so I dusted off my machine and have not put it back since. My oldest two are now drawing up designs and asking me to help them make their creations which I LOVE! They come up with some pretty amazing ideas, which I hope to share soon. Love that we are able to share in a common thread. {no pun intended... LOL!}



Every celebration, whether it be birthdays, Christmas, Halloween, or just simply for a family gathering, my neices and nephews always have one special request... "Aunt Angela, will you please make your puppy chow??" Who could say no?



So, today I am sharing with you my childhood favorite... Puppy Chow.  If I can remember correctly, the original recipe for Puppy Chow was published on the Kellogs Crispix cereal box.


 
 
Now for the celebration part of the post... did somebody say GIVEAWAY!?!
 
Stash Books is giving one lucky reader from my blog a FREE copy of the Sweet Celebrations Book.

    ReplyDelete
  90. Don't get me started on "bad hair". I had lovely hair. Honestly, it was thick and wavy and could be coaxed into allover curls with a little product and some hand squishing. And then I lost it all to chemo and what came back is more like a brillo pad and very thin in places. Too much hair now to make a wig comfortable and too little to slip under the radar of "normalcy". Alas. At least I'm alive. Like I said, don't get me started on hair.

    ReplyDelete
  91. I am a follower of your blog !

    ReplyDelete
  92. Looking forward to trying your recipe and seeing more projects from the new book! Thanks for the giveaway!

    P.S. I can't complain about my hair because I'm happy just to have some! Like Heather, I lost mine to chemo too...it's grown in past the poodle stage, but us post chemo girls need a hair support group or something!

    ReplyDelete
  93. Never heard of that recipe, but it really looks good!

    ReplyDelete
  94. Puppy chow is a favorite at my house too! Love the new book!

  173. Your 'Puppy Chow' looks like it should have the international 'NO' sign on it -- but who cares! Thanks for sharing.

  176. Thank you for the opportunity to win Sweet Celebrations and the Moda Layer Cake collection!! No bad hair days here, I finally threw in the towel and just keep it very very short...30 seconds, a little pom, and I'm out the door.
    My grand daughter will love Puppy Chow!!

  179. Looks adorable - can't wait to read the new book! Always looking for fresh gift ideas. My friends always say my homemade gifts are special not only because they are homemade but because I usually personalize them somehow. But that means I'm always in need of fresh inspiration! Love your simple projects on your blog and glad there's another mom with young kids that makes sewing a priority.

  180. I totally love Puppy Chow, it's one of those things you just can't stop eating. Having a decent hair day, just need to color the roots:)

  183. We had two power outages while was posting to your blog yesterday -- and don't see my comment - please excuse me if this is a double. Yesterday I had the worst hair day - my mother told me "You've got to do something about THAT hair!" Today is a little better - at least it is clean and shiny.
