watermelon cookie

Before the summer is totally gone, I have to post about these not-so-healthy watermelon slices. I found this cute sugar cookie idea from the decorated cookie and I had to try it. This is how they turned out:
The black seeds were my favorite part.

fleur-de-lis

Just another one my DI finds: this old boy-scout fleur-de-lis. Heinously awful in yellow and brown.
So I painted it white and stenciled it with a purple paint. Easy makeover.

for amanda: stuffed animals


Amanda, sorry this has taken me sooo long to post. I made these cute little guys last Christmas. I found this tutorial for the elephant and this tutorial the giraffe on makeitandloveit. I then made a whale and seahorse pattern (printed off a silhouette, traced it onto fabric, etc.), and put them together the same way as the elephant and giraffe. The seahorse was a little more tricky because that skinny little tail is hard to get batting into. Make sure if you do it, you make it big enough to stuff. Have fun!

I'm back.. after a long absence. I've missed you, blogging world! Sorry about my lack of posting, summertime takes over. I can't argue with nice weather, family in town, vacations, etc.

So... here is my latest creation in the kitchen.

Sweet Suspenders

Photobucket

I've done it. Officially found an appropriate accessory for my little boys.
Once again Ashley has given us another fabulous idea. They are easy and wonderful and I'm in love with these little suspenders.
3 pairs later and we're going strong.

Caprese Sandwich


Here's another delich-dish that has made me happy at several lunch hours.

Here's how:

Layer tomatoes, fresh mozza, fresh basil leaves and italian dressing atop a fresh Ciabatta loaf.

What a pretty little sandwich. Photobucket
