Corners of my home - Watto

This is on top of a shelf in my office, my Watto collection, stocked by my husband. He loves Star Wars and likes to find Watto toys for me since I like that character.

Just in case your thinking... please no Watto gifts from anyone but Brian.

Another feature... how lovely!

Come take a peek here!

Handmade Hat

I saw this hat pattern on Martha's site and gave it a try. It was really easy to make and so cute on Amelia. I wanted to make one for myself but for some reason I look odd in hats without a brim. I think it might be that my big curly hair competes with the hat? Anyway... if you have an hour and some fabric, make yourself a hat.

Me featured.... blush!

I am very excited to be featured on the Bloomsbury Group blog,

they had lovely things to say about my etsy shop goodies! Visit them here!

Buttermilk Biscuits from Scratch

I never really made a lot of bread and such from scratch, it seems to take so long... all that rising and kneading. I don't like long recipes with lots of ingredients, but I saw recipe for biscuits on this food blog I had to give it a try.

I love this guy's blog because he makes these great how to cook videos. I am a very visual person and I like to see how things should look along the way.

The girls had a lot of fun helping me make these and they tasted pretty good, KFC still beats mine, but with a little practice who knows?

Love Bunny

I made this last night... This Love Bunny is made with 50% upcycled materials and comes with her own sweet heart ballon that can come out of her hand. She was made with no pattern... so she is wonderfully unique!

You can find her here in my etsy shop.

Christmas Card - 2009

For those of you who did not make our cut of 60+ cards, here is what you missed. I can't take credit for this one, it's all Brian's handy work, he did a great job capturing us all as elves.

I love how Amelia's teeth are missing and

Anna is dressed as Hermie the elf, she loves Hermie!

Booger

Brian is in the other room reading the girls their bedtime stories and I am at the computer.

I hear him stop reading and say...

Brian: Did you just wipe a booger on me?

Amelia: No

Brian: Then how did this booger get one me?

I didn't hear an answer and then he continues reading. I am giggling at the brief conversation, you know you have kids when mysterious boogers start appearing.

Valentine's Day Cards

I made these cards for the girls to give out for Valentine's day and I also listed them as my first printable etsy item. So easy... download the pdf, print and cut.

Here Kitty Kitty

I made this sweet little kitty ball for my friend who just had a baby boy (Congrats Julie!) I found this pattern for a fabric ball, then add some ears and a tail along with a simple face. This little kitty is a simple and cute baby friendly toy.
