Hello! This morning I had an email from a friend asking me if I had seen a particular template she had been looking for “a slipcovered brownie mix” or something like that… I did a little searching and found nothing but I remembered that some mixes we bought from Lehi Roller Mills last year had “slipcovers” on them. So this morning I set out to create my own template. This is a simple tutorial. I shot from the hip and…

I had a jewelry making class at my home on Friday night. We had 3 girls get sick, but the 6 who made it and, aside from some wire gone wild, had a BLAST! We did crocheted necklaces and laughed into the wee hours of the night. Here are the girls and their necklaces. Everyone did long necklaces this time. Totally fun! (There are only 5 who finished because Sierra’s wire was literally hopelessly tangled and she has to start…
On Wednesday I had brunch with a friend of mine who flew in to town to meet her first grandbaby and see her son and daughter in law. Thankfully we were able to find some time to meet up for brunch at Mimi’s Cafe. I hadn’t seen Aura Lee in nearly 20 years. I can’t remember how long it’s actually been. She was one of my Young Women leaders (female youth group @ church) when we lived in Berlin, Germany. …
Hey friends! Back with the promised shabby chic feather birdie tutorial just for you! I hope you all had a marvelous Thanksgiving and are recovering from the crazy Black Friday sales! Brent and I skipped them this year and slept in in our nice cozy bed. 🙂 When I made the Christmas tree for my studio I wanted something fluffy and white for it to fill in some gaps and thought feather birdies would be perfect but I wasn’t able…
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here! We got our first real teeny bit of sticking snow this past weekend and while parts of Utah more north than us got hit hard last night we got only maybe 3”more… YAY! I guess it is FINALLY time to put away the flip flops and capris and pull out the warm fuzzy slippers and polar bear jammies. I am SO excited for Christmas this year. I have no clue…
So I have been working on a little project and needed a base for it. When Stacey was here we wandered the aisles of WalMart one afternoon and found some fabulous deals on fall clearance items. In fact, the store workers were marking them down as we were approaching the aisles. AWESOME! I found a couple of these fabulous (yet ugly in their current state) urn/vases filled with scraggly sad looking fall foliage. I picked this one up for $5.00. …
I’ve been a crazy busy girl around here the past couple of weeks. Stacey Flores came to visit for a week had sooo mcuh fun! (I have some fun pics and maybe a video or two to share, too.) I worked like crazy last week and had a lot of other things going on, too. Basically my sporadic posting on this blog boils down to one thing, my health. For the last couple of years I have had really bad…
