Mrs. Bigglesworth

One of the fun things about making plush animals is the inventive things that some people come of up.  I was recently asked to created a white cat, with a brown tail and collar....and spectacles.  I was sent a picture of what the customer had in mind.  Here are the results:

I'll be shipping "Mrs Bigglesworth" off today to her new owner.  I hope she brings a smile to her face. 

The Season of Pumpkin Spice

It is that wonderful time of year between "back to school" and Halloween know by some as "Pumpkin Spice" season.  It seems like everywhere you look you now get it in "pumpkin spice".  Your lattes, coffees, muffins etc.  Don't get me wrong, I love the pumpkin spice as much as the next person. So, in honour of Pumpkin Spice Season I am going to share with you my own pumpkin muffin recipe.
I got this recipe several years ago when my first born was in kindergarten.  It is the favourite muffin recipe in my house and amongst my friends.  I've altered the recipe slightly to make it easier - you can just dump in one whole can of pumpkin pure instead of using 2/3 of the can.  The recipe yields a lot of muffins!  I generally get about 30 regular sized muffins and 24 mini muffins.  Fear not, as they freeze wonderfully.
So, here you go, I hope you enjoy!  (I won't be posting a lot of recipes, cooking is not my forte).


Pumpkin Muffins
- 3 cups of white sugar
- 1 1/2 cups of oil
- 3 cups of pumpkin pure (one 796ml can is perfect!)
- 4 eggs
- 4 1/2 cups of flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 tsp of baking powder
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 2-4 tsp cinnamon
Optional: 2 cups of chocolate chips (I always add these :)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

Blend oil, sugar and eggs
Stir in pumpkin
Mix dry ingredients in a second bowl
Add dry ingredients to wet, mix well
Bake for 20-25 min

Enjoy!

Welcome!

So, here I go, starting a blog...To be honest, I'm not quite sure what I'm getting myself into.  I'm hoping that as the days and weeks go by my blogging voice will become more clear.  For now, I'm hoping to share with you updates from my Etsy shop (www.warmfuzziesbygen.etsy.com), things that are happening with my Warm Fuzzies outside of Etsy, and hopefully and little humour and insight into life in general.

I'm currently working on making some super cool needle felted ornaments for Christmas.  I'm hoping to share those with you in the next few days.  For now, I leave you with this:

You will soon discover, I'm sure, my love for bulldogs.  I just couldn't resist this guy, after all, what good is a blog with no pictures! ;)
