Plain turned Boutique!

2011-05-16T12:41:00.000-07:00

I bought this plain 18 month size shirt from Wal-Mart the other day and I have been trying to figure out how to spruce it up! Well, today I came up with a great idea and it is so adorable.


This is the plain shirt!

This is after I spruced it up!

Mommy and Ava at Old Navy! She is so funny.

Only on Mother's Day French Toast! YUMM

2011-05-08T07:41:00.000-07:00

This is the BEST French Toast I have ever had! Oh my goodness, YUMM doesn't even describe it.

So here it is, hope you are ready for some yuminess.

Here are the ingredients

Texas toast (or some other thick bread, I prefer the sour dough from Cracker Barrel)
Whipped cream cheese

Fresh strawberries

1/2 tsp nutmeg (optional)

1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)

French Vanilla creamer (I got this idea from my fiance's mom!)

2-3 eggs (depending on how much french toast you are making)

First you want to cut the strawberries into slices. (always wash the strawberries before cutting) I prefer thin sliced because I don't really care for thick chunks, which ever you prefer will be fine. Then you want to lay out each piece of the bread and spread about 1-2 tbs of the whipped cream cheese on each slice of bread. Next, put the strawberries on half of the bread slices and then put the other piece of bread on top (make a sandwich). Now you will want to heat up your skillet to about medium heat. Take a bowl (one that will fit the sandwich in.) Simply whisk 3/4 cup of the french vanilla creamer, eggs, cinnamon, and nutmeg in the bowl. Once your skillet is heated then you dip both sides of the sandwich in the egg mixture and cook for about 5-7 minutes each side.

This is the creamer that I used! So good.

Look at those delicious strawberries

Here is the finished product! (I have got to get a better camera!)

Later in the day you can enjoy a delicious champagne!
All you do is take about 3 strawberries and muddle them with 1 tbs of sugar
(See below)

	Now poor the champagne in to fill the glass. That is is! Enjoy.

A true Southern Fairy Tale picnic!

2011-05-07T16:26:00.000-07:00

If you want a really amazing and magical feeling picnic use your regular dishes from home! Don't buy those paper plates and all of that throw away stuff, it is bad for the environment and not nearly as much fun... Just look at our gorgeous view and table. We had a wonderful day.

See the picnic basket! Even Yogi Bear would like a grab at that adorable thing.

This was the view looking up from our table!

Once we were finished eating we cleaned up everything and finger painted! Ava was ~~caught red handed~~ having a great time... :)


See her beautiful picture she made for me! I love it.

Lovely Crochet Scarf!

2011-05-06T13:19:00.000-07:00

I haven't had much time lately for my crochet projects but, I made time to finish this cozy thing! I just love scarves in the winter they are so nice especially when they are handmade. Crocheting is a fantastic hobby and easy to learn. Thanks to Dr. Rebecca Block and Jenna Kranz at the Daytona State College Writing Center for teaching me the basics.

Easy Crochet Flower!

2011-05-06T11:52:00.000-07:00

I am starting to make my own cards! It is so boring buying one from the store when I love doing creative things. THIS IS NOT THE CARD! I wanted to show you the crochet flower that I am going to put on a card LATER! I haven't crocheted anything in a while so this flower isn't really the best but I wanted to show you anyways. *If you would like to make your own, I got the tutorial from littlebirdiesecrets.com*

*Like always please forgive me for the horrible picture quality, I am hoping Santa will bring a new camera this year...*

Whoo Whoo has a boo boo?

2011-05-01T14:30:00.000-07:00

Looking for a pet? Look no more!

This adorable owl is the pet for every house. He is perfect because he comes in many colors, sleeps in the freezer, doesn't eat and doesn't make any messes. Best of all this owl has magical healing powers! Yes, you heard me right he can heal those little boo boo's for those of the youngest and oldest of age

Just letting you see his cute back side!

If you would like to purchase one of these guys click HERE!
You can pick out different colors just let me know in an email.

Please forgive me for the horrible photo quality. I am hoping that sweet Santa brings me a new camera for Christmas this year... <3

*Just in case you don't understand this owl is meant to be used as an ice pack for minor injuries. I am not a doctor and don't claim to be one, this owl really can't heal he can only make you feel better in the same way that nay other ice pack would, only this one will bring a smile to a hurt ones face a lot quicker.*

A dash of fun!

I just loved these measuring spoons when I found them at World Market. Sure you can measure things with the plain plastic measuring spoons. Or you can make things a little more fun in the kitchen by using cool ones like these!

I would like to apologize for my horrible picture quality. I am hoping that sweet Santa will bring me a new camera for Christmas this year. <3

The ugly Owl!

2011-04-30T15:10:00.000-07:00

This is a distant cousin to the ugly duckling. This poor guy was made today in an attempt to make my version of this adorable owl! I was far off.

My little Ava loves him though, she has named him Animal. I will try this again with different felt and I won't use the buttons for eyes next time. I normally wouldn't post this on my blog but, I am a new blogger and wanted to get a post up.

2011-04-30T11:48:00.000-07:00

This is Ava Grace! She is wearing her Plumb Adorable shirt. This was one of the first shirts that I sewed. Luckily, it has been washed and with held the washing machine without coming apart! yay for me.

This is the beginning...

Hi, Thanks for stopping in. This is the first day of my blog. I want to go ahead and give a heads up that I am extremely new to blogging. I also would like to apologize in advance for any errors and typos. I have a two year old that does a lot of toddler things and it makes for very little concentration in our house. I hope that everyone enjoys the blog and I will do my best to keep it fun and entertaining.
