Cookies 'n Cream Trifle

An easy, impressive-looking, kinda healthy dessert? 
Yes, it's possible.  And so simple.
A trifle-no, not truffle- is really just a layered dessert. 
(I think.  Well, that's my definition anyway).

Burp Cloths

It's baby season! (not for me, but for everybody else it seems!)
So, I figured I'd try to make some burp cloths to give as gifts.  All you need is some cute fabric and cloth diapers. 

I found a great tutorial here.  http://www.kdbuggieboutique.com/2012/04/tutorial-cloth-diaper-burp-cloths.html

 I followed her directions pretty closely. Only other tip I would give is to put white thread in your bobbin.  That way, you won't see the thread on the backside of your cloth diaper.
Happy Sewing!

Fried Green Tomatoes

You've probably seen the movie. 
I've seen it,  but about 10 years ago. 
Honestly, I don't even remember why the movie is called "Fried Green Tomatoes". 

Regardless if you've seen it or not, if you've never tried an actual fried green tomato, you're missing out.

Crayon Caddy

My neice turns 2 this week, so I wanted to make her something fun for her birthday!  I saw this contraption (I'm calling it a Crayon Caddy) at a friend's house and thought, "I can make this!"

So, I've adapted my Mini Apron into this cute Crayon Caddy!
