Another Buttercup Bag

I like the way this one came out even more! This time I used a home dec weight fabric for the base of the bag and corduroy for the sides and handles. The stiffness is much more to my liking. I also stitched the lining to the outside beneath the snaps to make it stronger…

Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

Strawberry rhubarb pie is by far my favorite. Hubby and I had friends over for a BBQ for Memorial Day and I made pie because they had rhubarb at the store and lots of strawberries. It came out wonderfully delicious. Mmm  . . . and I liked the star cutouts too 🙂 The pre-oven picture…

Sofia Blanc de Blancs

How cute is this? A little mini can of wine. It came with the matching straw. I wanted to try out this wine and they had these little cans which meant I didn’t need to buy a whole bottle. Plus it’s so cute. It looks like the perfect drink to take on a picnic if…

Emmeline Apron

Cookie Dough Cupcake

A while back I had jury duty. To cheer myself up after lunch, I stopped by Citizen Cake and got a cupcake. I selected the lovely cookie dough cupcake you see above. It was quite delicious and worth every calorie. They did an amazing job capturing the flavor of cookie dough in the frosting. Yum,…

Chocolate Caramels

Old photo from back in March. Remember the bake sale from last year? Where I made marshmallows, toffee and cupcakes? Well, same bake sale this year except this year I had to be out of town. Yeah, I know. It killed me too not to be able to make tons of cupcakes again. Especially since…

Farmer’s Market Bag

Another successful bag. The design for this bag went through several iterations, but finally turned out. It’s rather simple and easy to make. Here’s just a picture for now. I might post the pattern later. It holds a surprisingly large amount and it has a very wide shoulder strap so it’s actually quite comfortable even…
