Pretty Flowers

A friend of mine brought Kennedy over a little treat last night, these darling flower head bands and clips. Kennedy was so excited that she was trying to wear two at a time. My friends says they are so simple to make and I can't wait to try making them myself.

We got 4 different headbands and 1 clip

Kennedy in her favorite.

She loves pink!

First Day of School

Well Kennedy and Colin were off today on their first day of school. Actually in about 10 mins I need to go meet Colin at the bus to see how his first day of 1st grade went. The kids had their clothes all picked out the night before and Colin was so excited that he wanted to wait for the bus almost an hour early.

Finally

Finally made a decision on which fabrics I'm going to use. Decided on two Robert Kauffman items.

Monaluna Metro Cafe

Caleb Gray Groove Dot - Licorice Fabric

Apron Ideas

So I think I may have found the fabric for my Apron for the Back to the Future Apron Swap. I'm excited as my selected partner wants a 50's style full bib apron. Looking at her blog I can see that she herself has a hip 50's style, just laid back and really cool looking, so with that I fell upon this new line called Metro Cafe from Robert Kaufman. I LOVE IT!!! I really have fallen in love with the Mixers in Creme, but since her favorite color is Red and this apron is for her, I guess I better go with the Red, or maybe I'll go with the creme and do Red Polka Dots as she says she also loves Polka Dots...Hmmm, the decisions.

I'm back!

Yep, you heard me right, I am back to blogging. I know that I have been missing for over a year, but figure why wait any longer and what a perfect time to start blogging again as I've joined another Flirty Apron Swap. This time the theme is Back to the Future, how fun will that be.

Oreo Truffles

While I was looking at my long list of favorite blogs I came upon this recipe for Oreo Truffles by Becky Higgins. I have been a fan of Becky ever since I got into scrapbooking, so I thought I would give her family recipe a try. The recipe is so simple, but with a little chocolate and a few sprinkles this can become a lovely holiday treat.

You can't catch me I'm the Gingerbread House??

Almost 2 years ago I purchased a Gingerbread house that had everthing included and for one reason or another we never got around to doing it until tonight. Colin had so much fun and as you can see from below Kennedy did as well.

Kennedy decided to take this time to play with Daddy.

But would take a quick candy break...

over and....

over again.

Colin was so into every part of it. So careful to put just the right piece of candy.
