A little princess that lives in my house has already claimed this has her own but I absolutely love what I won from Mushroom Villagers! I was lucky enough to win a giveaway for a fun wristlet! Be sure to check our her blog and read about her crafty adventures! Her last post was about screen printing! How fun is that?
My little hiatus was longer than expected! Soon after I posted my giveaway I ended up catching the bug that has been going around here. Everyone in the house seemed to catch a touch of it and then we all ended up with a cold so we are just coming out of our medicated states and feeling like ourselves again. I thought I would show you a little bit of what I have been up to since my last post!
Hubby celebrated a birthday and Alaina helped him blow out the candles. (Blow is a nice way of saying she essentially spit on his ice cream cake!)
I spent a day baking with a friend and testing out a new apple pie recipe:
8 peeled and cored granny smith apples
1/2 cup of sugar
1/2 cup of brown sugar
1/4 cup of unsalted butter
3 tablespoons of flour
1/2 cup of water
pie crust (use your fave recipe!)
Melt butter in a saucepan and add sugar and brown sugar and water. Have the apples sliced and in your pie crust. Work out your lattice over the apples. Pour your ooey gooey mixture over your lattice letting it soak into your pie and covering all of your lattice. Bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes and then reduce the temp to 350 degrees for 35-45 minutes. Yummy!
On Friday I had an appointment to get my hair cut. For the last few years my hair has been long and just getting longer. I just haven’t taken the time to get it styled in over a year! Here is the before:
and the after:
And lastly, what you all have been waiting for…..thanks to the random number generator the winner of the fabric giveaway is Lisa! Congrats and go take a peek at her blog as it is fabulous!
For another giveaway! I have used this fun and funky owl flannel for several projects for the little miss and I have an extra yard of it and decided it was time to do a little giveaway! Leave me a comment this week and tell me your favorite blog tutorial and you could win this fun fabric and another yard of a surprise fabric!
I am more than a tiny bit happy with my yard sale find today! I have collected miniatures my entire life and even though my tastes have changed throughout the years my love of all things “mini” never changes. I still have my little 2 inch smurfs and strawberry shortcake miniatures among other little child of the 80’s momentos. They have a new life as the princess thinks they are hers but it brings me joy to see something that I have loved and collected be played with by my daughter. Well, today I found these fabulous little miniature collection at a yard sale. They were packaged in 2 sets in a ziploc bag and each was marked $2 each. So for $4 I am reeling in tiny happiness!
I also think I have been reading a little too much of Miss Amelia’s blog since I am feeling a little compelled to give my new little mini’s a name. I want to begin with my favorite and my new muse! The little turtle! It has inspired a mini giveway! Leave your suggestions my tiny turtles name the and the winner will be sent one of my new little finds! Good luck!
Ok, well not everyone but I am feeling the love of Indie Babies and Quilt Baby! I won one of their giveaways and I am super excited! I don’t have a little baby to use it for yet but I have a the perfect little one in mind who deserves it! Thank you to indie babies and quilt baby! I really never win anything so I am extremely thankful!
There was also a great little door hanger from Droolz and sippy cup saver fromwhich will be an awesome lifesaver when we go to Disney World later this summer!
I had this grand idea that Alaina would draw the name I would capture it beautifully with my camera and you all could ooh and aww over my neat-o play by play photography…..however the princess decided right before she drew it that she wanted to keep it because the ticket was “Lainey’s pink ticket” The little booger even ripped it so I couldn’t have it! I am in so much trouble since she is already pulling these stunts at the early age of 3! But, I did wrestle her for the “ticket” and the winner of the 50% code is ANGELA S. I am thrilled for her! It must be good karma for her as she selflessly offers her sewing advice and tutorials to anyone who asks her! She is a peach and I am thrilled to be able to offer this up to her!
But, for the sake of how I really wanted to draw it I bribed her with a sweet tart and had her draw again for a consolation prize! This person with get a little something custom from me! I know it pales to the 50% off but hopefully you will enjoy it as well! That winner is CHRISSY!
Thanks so much for joining in my little contest! It was quite fun! Keep checking in as more giveways might come again in the not so far away future!
