...but I sure love to make stuff!

Looks like I took a blogging hiatus.  I thought of what to blog about often, but just never put a pen to paper (or finger to a keyboard?).  But I sure to love to make stuff!  Here's what I've been up to.

Two tiered circle skirt from Made.  I followed her directions, but don't measure too well so it came out super short, so instead of ripping out the first skirt I made, I added another longer tier underneath.  


Jello pops made from a packet of gelatin.  I 1/4th-ed the recipe since the one on the box asks for 4 packets of gelatin, and froze them.  Super great because I used 100% juice instead of a pack of jello (which makes me feel all fuzzy inside even though juice is all sugar) and jello pops are awesome because they don't drip NEARLY as much as popsicles!  


We started our garden.


The super baby shower gift for my sister in law to give.  Ava loved that monkey (the only ami she's really cared for) so I've made another on of those.


Here's a shot of that hat.


Cheezy bread bombs is what we're calling these!  I got the basic idea from Picky Palate's Mini Spinach Dip Bread Bowls.  I used the same dough, cut the rounds in half (because I had a mini muffin pan), sprayed the pan with EVOO, pressed the dough in, sprinkled some fresh minced garlic, a dash of Tony Chachere's, and about a tablespoon of cheddar cheese over each.  Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until they look golden.  Hello ooey gooey goodness.  I'm mad I ever made these, because I think of them often and eat too many!


Lasagna to go with our bombs, and this was Eddie's 30th Birthday dinner.  Yum!


Easter Eggs!


All of what we dyed this year.






Poseys in real life have sprouted!









New Bible cover for myself!


I took apart this tricycle that I got for $10 on craigslist and painted it purple and white for Ava's 2nd birthday.


And Blue's Clues cupcakes for her!


I think she liked it.
