However, after dinner today my own father recommended i put this on here, so thanks dad!
I don't have many to do pictures, but I'm sure you can find some tutorials on the inter webs.

i don't know if you've noticed, but we love pinterest. while perusing the pins i kept coming upon this pin for homemade laundry detergent (both liquid and powder), so i thought, "hey self.... you should make this and try it so you can save a ton of money." so i did just that. i gathered my supplies, went to work and voila! my family hasn't looked back since.

They love sewing! I have 2 nieces that are really getting into it. I have been creating simple little project for these two to make for awhile now. Last year (or was it the year before?) we made little peeps and just some other little free form projects with felt and yarn.

I have been going nuts trying to decide what my little one should be for her first Halloween. I knew that I wanted to make her a costume that would be cute and comfy and hopefully easy because she probably won't wear it for very long. I had been looking online trying to decide and I was just running out of time. I finally asked my husband what she should be and we went out and christinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03461718796662028966noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009743847686545556.post-57588526471102161132011-10-13T07:51:00.000-04:002011-10-13T07:53:27.610-04:00sweet potato biscuits
My sister in law has got me slightly hooked on Gooseberry Patch books. I have nowhere near as many as she does, but I think I am creeping close to a dozen. Every once in a while I actually make something from one of them. They are fun to read, but like any other cook book, I think I read them more than I cook from them. I was looking through them recently looking for christinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03461718796662028966noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009743847686545556.post-49921953319079426992011-10-12T12:35:00.000-04:002011-10-12T12:35:27.867-04:00dobos torte
i love the look of many layered things. so when i happened across the dobos torte, i was ecstatic. i made it as a desert to take to christina's house when a-gator was about 20 weeks old. i only remember this, because i wanted to make as many layers as a-gator was old, but ran out of batter at 16.
i followed this recipe from allrecipes.com

Homemade potato soup
When I was young, my grandma used to make fresh vegetable
soup with goodies from her garden.
I always felt it was a special treat that she made just for my
visit. My mom, who can’t stand
canned soup unless it’s tomato, makes potato soup for our family all the
time. I’ve tweaked it just a bit
and she approves. So here, for
your stomachs’ pleasure,alexishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04340994135039805170noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009743847686545556.post-54260293141171822352011-10-03T17:00:00.000-04:002011-10-03T17:00:00.567-04:00Super Simple Initial Tiny Tote
One of my favorite things about sewing is creating something special for someone and their reaction when I give it too them. Even if I don’t I have a lot of time, I am still able to create a one of a kind gift and the recipient is usually very happy to receive it. My niece’s 6th birthday was coming up, and as usual, I was being wishy-washy about what I wanted to make. I had christinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03461718796662028966noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009743847686545556.post-7526517315821912242011-10-02T15:50:00.000-04:002011-10-02T15:56:11.168-04:00Pinterest Love
Alexis and I love pinning stuff on pinterest. The best way to descibe pinterest is that it is like a giant visual bookmark list. You can create different boards to organinze your bookmarks or “pins.” What make it even more fun is that you can browse other people’s boards and repin things you like.
We decided that one of the features of this new blog of ours will be christinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03461718796662028966noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009743847686545556.post-76315041056365198552011-10-01T17:10:00.000-04:002011-10-01T17:10:14.076-04:00CUTE!! CUDDLY!! SOFTIES!!
Since giving birth to my amazing little girl, I have gotten into sewing little plush toys, otherwise known as softies. Softies are great sewing projects because:
they can come together pretty quickly
they are highly customizable
they don’t take much fabric (perfect scrap buster!)
and they are just so cuddly!
I just love making these little guys for my christinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03461718796662028966noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009743847686545556.post-39910442899375735262011-10-01T16:25:00.000-04:002011-10-01T17:03:50.892-04:00bruffins the new breakfast revolution
there are few things i can eat anytime, anywhere, under any preparation. the first on this exclusive list are potatoes. i say this because, while i love most vegetables, potatoes have a very special place in my heart. when i was much much younger my grandma would peel and cut yams into wedges that my cousin and i would fight over until she put them in two piles(one for each of us). ever alexishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04340994135039805170noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009743847686545556.post-35316772487157098642011-09-29T20:42:00.000-04:002011-09-29T20:42:00.565-04:00The start of something really really awesome....watch this space for something exciting!
