Meet Me On Monday 3/14/11

It's been a while since I've done one of these!

1. Do you have a fireplace in your home?
No, but I wish I did. We'd probably only use it one or two times a year, but it would be great to have! I also kind of like the idea of putting seasonal decorations up on a mantel. This one is simple but just lovely...


2. Can you drive a stick shift?
Nope. Terry tried to teach me once but it didn't work out so well.

3. How many computers are in your home?
Five. Yikes - that's a lot. We each have one plus my work computer is here too.


4. Are your taxes done yet? Do you do them yourself?
No and yes - I'm about halfway done, and I use H&R Block online which is great!

5. What is your favorite meal of the day?
Dinner because that's when I put in a little extra effort to make things special. Plus it's when we enjoy family time.

    I cannot wait to show this post to my daughter, she will love the cartoon picture following question 3. Would you mind if I printed it off for her? I won't do unless you say it's okay.

    Thanks for a great post.

Tutorial: Baby blanket and matching "tie" onesie

Image
Hello bloggy friends! 2011 is off and running and as usual, so am I. I was hoping to get more recipes posted but just been too busy! With what, you ask? Here's a start... Onesie and blanket sets I went to a post-partum baby shower for two of my friends and wanted to stick with my goal for this year of making gifts - but what to do? Since the babies were already born in November, and also were the second child in each family, I knew the gals would already have all the basics covered. I did some crafty blog searching and found this tutorial from Sew Dang Cute for wide binding and mitred corners on a sweet little minky-backed baby blanket. Unfortunately I got lost along the way on the binding part, but figured out how to do it my own way and they both turned out terrific! Again, this is not my original idea  - all the credit goes to Tam at  Sew Dang Cute . If you like to sew I highly recommend giving this project a try - the blanket was easy to do, though I now wish I...

Penguin cookies

Made these little cuties this weekend for my friend Leslie's 50th birthday party. As you could probably guess she collects penguins. It was my first experience using black icing - interesting. I had to remind myself that the color would darken after some time. At first it was an unappetizing gray-purple but as you can see it turned out black (as did our tongues after eating them). People say the black tint changes the flavor of the royal icing but I couldn't tell. Maybe because most if it was covered with white. It did take quite a lot if gel though. I used Americolor gel colors, in case you were wondering.
