MMM. I got this recipe from Semi-homemade with Sandra Lee. It is a Kit Kat bar (4 sections) with caramel corn on top and milk and white chocolate as the glue to hold it all together. It was very good but too sweet. Next time I’ll try a variation with something salty like pretzels or peanuts or maybe semi-sweet chocolate. Definitely many possibilities with this concept… Continue reading Caramel Popcorn Candy Bars
My most daring project yet! (I put one ear on backwards that’s why I call him funny bunny!) Also my first use of embroidery for the face.
Plush baby block. Felt block with ribbon, fringe, and needle felted shapes. The bottom picture is a reverse side of a needle felted square so it is fuzzy.I am having so much fun. All these were done with no pattern and in less than an hour!… Continue reading She's Crafty
I know I can’t call myself a marriage expert. I’ve only been married 10 years. However, we are really happy and we’ve survived infertility a known major stressor on couples.

Then I saw the Felt Play Food… Continue reading Felt Play Food – I like to sew after all!
Since I moved my blog from wordpress the old wordpress blog still gets frequent comments regarding my post on Erin Brokovich and Gardasil. They are all from mothers whose daughters have been injured by this horrible vaccine. Even though I don’t vaccinate at all, even if you do vaccinate, DO NOT get this vaccine! It is just not proven safe and is increasingly looking horribly unsafe. Here is a most recent comment from the old blog. She provided links so you… Continue reading More Gardasil Woes

Of course, by arms I do not mean weapons, I mean actual appendages. I limit Aellyn’s access to them. Oh yes. Aellyn is a swaddled baby.
