One of my favorite things to do is share a Dutch baby with my husband on Sunday morning. They are quite delicious. However I often get asked, what is a dutch baby? A Dutch baby, also called a German pancake, is like a very egg-y pancake. It’s baked in a skillet in the oven where…
DetailsThis is one of the bridges that I tried making through Ponoko. I thought they would make cute escort card holders but unfortunately they were too cost prohibitive in the end. We found another cute option that my mom made that I’ll post pictures of at some point. This was also a test of taking…
DetailsSo you know how all the cupcake recipes you read always tell you to let the cupcakes cool before you frost them? They’re not kidding. I was in a rush to go to a party on Friday and had promised the hostess that I would bake cupcakes. Well, since I was in a rush, I…
DetailsGone for a while getting married but now that that’s done I’ll (hopefully) be doing more. So stay posted–more should be coming soon. (This post is also a test to see how posting from my phone works. As a teaser–and another test–here’s a pic of the burger my man made for me. It was good.)

My new needle plate has inches, not millimeters which is so much more useful since almost all the patterns I have here are in inches. The machine (Husqvarna Viking Platinum 950e) was made in Europe though so…
DetailsAnd so we continue with our sewing of the Sophia Bag. I think if I recall, I was on step 4.
A while back I got a pattern for the Sophia Carry All by Amy Butler from Sew, Mama, Sew (a really super cool fabric store online). Well, I’ve finally gotten around to at least cutting out the fabric. I’m going to try to take pictures as I go through it, but I’m only so good…
DetailsToday was awesome. I came home to find a shipment from Sew, Mama, Sew of some fabric and a pattern I ordered. I got a couple prints from the Ginger Blossom collection by Sandi Henderson for Michael Miller. So pretty. The only problem being that they are sold out now of the ones I like.…
DetailsSo, I really wanted to enter Cupcake Hero and this month’s ingredient is marshmallow. I love marshmallow which should be obvious. I sat and thought long and hard about something fun to make and came up with a few ideas but a lot of them just didn’t sit with me (or I had done them…
