Photos cannot do this scrumptious bar justice. It’s like a Snickers candy bar meets oatmeal cookie bar, with the goodness of sweet and salty flavors, and the combination of chewy and crunchy textures. The best part is that this is one of the easiest to make and easiest to please bars one can make.Continue reading “The Best Bars Ever”

Happy Cat Bed

The problem: We were tired of our constantly cold kitty sleeping on our (usually) clean wool clothing in an effort to warm up. Solution: Here’s how I made a quick cat bed from an old felted wool sweater. I started with a 100% wool sweater. Washed in hot water and then dried on hot. Next,Continue reading “Happy Cat Bed”

Baby artwork

I have been busy as a bee creating things for my little one. However, it is no longer as easy to remember to photograph them and get them onto the blog. Here is a pair of paintings for her room. Mama & Me, watercolor & ink on paper, 2011. Night Owl, watercolor on paper, 2011.

A late installment…

I finally finished Lauren’s second Day of the Dead collage…a little late for her birthday though. Actress, collage and pen on paper, 2011.

They are a little lumpy, but not too bad for the first attempt at fabric foods. Breakfast platter complete with two slices of toast, felted jam, two slices of bacon, and twoContinue reading “upcycled fabric food”

Table cloth

I finally finished the table cloth that goes along with the couch pillow I made earlier this fall. I could not sleep this morning, so I got up and fed the animals and had this done before 8 am. Eric had a nice surprise of bicycles with his breakfast this morning.

Save the Date cards

I haven’t made much as of lately. I did get the chance to cook up some ideas for my sister’s wedding save the date cards. I made and was not too thrilled about it and decided to go ahead and make two more and just let her decide on the favorite(s). She ended up usingContinue reading “Save the Date cards”
