I'm In A Rush To Be Bloggy

It's hard to believe, but at the end of this month my blog will turn 1 year old. Since my blog is high maintenance, it has requested a certain kind of cake and ice cream, I will comply.
But in the meantime I've realized that I haven't done very many bloggy things. I haven't shared a recipe (essential for a proper blog), I haven't made a tutorial and I haven't had a give away.
More about the give away in the next post, but for right now I thought I would take care of the recipe thing.

This is a copy of my Mom's recipe for granola. It is SO wonderful. It tastes delicious and it will keep you full! If you eat this in the morning, you will barely be hungry for lunch. (A good thing) It is also super easy to make.
For the past couple of years she would always give me a little baggy full of granola when I left her house but then it occured to me, I could make this myself! Now I have as much granola as I like. I even Pimped the recipe to my taste using dried cherries instead of apricots. Yummmmmmm.......
Oh, and the best part is the smell while the granola is toasting. It is absolutely heavenly. Try it.
More about the give away in the next post. First you must make your granola.

Baby In A Bag

When I sell a purse, and it goes out into the world, I never know what its destiny will be. Unless of course I sell a purse to my sister in law's best friend, who then gives it as a Christmas gift to some friends of hers in New Zealand (because it is summer there) and then sends me pictures!
So now I know that in New Zealand, there is the cutest baby being toted around in a purse I made. Can I tell you how happy this makes me?
Love those cheeks!
And the little red fuzz on the top of the head.
It's OK my bag has been upstaged by a cute baby in New Zealand.

New Styles Coming Soon

Need a Smile?

My Mom with bears.
I didn't know bears made her so happy, but now I do.
I thought you might need a smile on a Thursday, so here you go.

A Lily's Eye View

More Lily's Eye View

I borrowed my niece to use as a model for a project I am working on and afterwards she commandeered the camera. This was what she saw around my parents house.
