Banana Pudding



Rainy days call for some southern style banana pudding. Makes the house smell like visiting Grandma <3

Becky's Beanie



My friend Becky asked me to make her a beanie a few weeks ago and I found this super soft wool blend yarn that's perfect so here it is! Should keep her nice and warm while she's in Germany. Can also be seen on my Etsy Shop and if you'd like one I take requests!

Mr. Lego Cupcake


Last weekend I sent my best friend a baby gift package for her newborn little girl. In that package was the cupcake mobile I made some weeks ago and her two year old son fell in love with it! Well, I can't have him being jealous of his little sister so I decided to make a big cupcake plush that a two year old can kick around with. Will try and mail this out on Saturday with a little UNbirthday card! I hope he loves it :D




Here's a closeup of the strawberry and one with Clover for size reference...haha! mr. Lego Cupcake is the largest plush I've made thus far but I'm happy he came out so well for working pattern-free. I even free handed the strawberry!

Mango!



First mango of the year and it was soooooooooooooo good! Excited that all the yummy fruit is coming back into season. Can't wait for huge blueberries, strawberries, melons, cherries, peaches and nectarines! Our neighborhood farmer's market has their grand opening this Thursday and I can't wait. Seattle is great in that almost every neighborhood has their own farmer's market. Plus there are some excellent seafood markets as well. We're definitely food-spoiled here!

Bow Accessories



After making a few crochet bows last week I fell in love with how sweet they are! Some people caught a glimpse of them and said they liked them, so this week I made new bow accessories for people to buy if they so choose.

You may either click on the Etsy link located on my blog or simply click here!

I also take requests if you'd like anything in particular.

Stuffed Peppers and Sweet Potatoes



Had a boring day of laundry and tidying up. For dinner I was getting tired of our regular weekly menu so I made something new tonight! Mediterranean Stuffed Peppers and Honey/Cayenne Glazed Sweet Potatoes. To my surprise it was really easy and only took about 15 minutes prep and an hour cook time. And now I'm SO full and ready to veg out with my two favorites for the evening!
