So... where ya been? Hmmmm?

Somehow I managed to grow some
beautiful hibiscus, despite my
perpetually black thumb.
Seriously, people. Why haven't you stopped by to read me in a while? I missed you! While you were all busy with soccer practice, birthday parties, Christmas shopping and picking up your dry cleaning, I've been sitting here, just waiting for you to return and read all about the craziness that has ensued since my last post.

Ok, really now. Sarcasm aside. I did miss you. I did miss posting in my little blog. I have no idea if anyone has stopped by since my last post which apparently was July of 2013. And was just a silly little gif image. I have no idea if anyone ever reads anything I post, but as I have said before, I really just post for me. And invite the world to take a brief glimpse into my thought process.

I'm not going to make excuses for being gone for 8 months. In reality, I know I haven't posted anything of real substance in much longer than that. The posts have been recipes, craft items and at best, little updates about what we've been up to - honestly all things that could be covered easily with Facebook and Twitter. Which I have done. And will continue to do.

But this blog is supposed to be me. Me getting my thoughts down on paper. Or the screen, or whatever. It's supposed to be me free-writing. And with very little editing. And that's when it was always its best.

So I'm coming back. And I'm going to make this blog something it hasn't been in a long time. So be warned.

Tutorial: Baby blanket and matching "tie" onesie

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.
