{random goodness}

This is going to be probably the most random post I've ever posted, so get ready for this....

here's some random goodness that's been going on in my house:

{Frankfurter Twisties}

What is that you ask?

Well, last week, I rediscovered my cookbook from cooking class from when I was...hmmm, a 6th grader?

And wow! did it bring back memories of actually following recipes, making tea sandwiches, and walking with the knife down and walking so slowly it's a shock we ever made it anywhere.

So, back to the twisties...I remembered making these in class and thought they were sooo good.

Just take your frank, cut a slit in it, fill that slit with pickle relish and wrap with a crescent roll.

Bake for like 15 minutes and enjoy!

My kids liked them, my brother devoured them, my husband smiled with his mouth closed, full of twistie...

Also...I served these delightful little treats with this NEW ketchup!

Finally, a ketchup without high fructose corn syrup that doesn't cost $5/ bottle.

Oh, you think it's silly that a woman that serves the occasional hot dog to her children should

give a crap about HFCS?

Well, ya...maybe it's silly.  I try :)

{Spies}

Oh, and we're planning a spy party...it's tomorrow.  I'm not ready...dun, dun, dunnnn.

{Little Bit of Sunshine}

Outside?
He**, no!  But inside....

My cousin, the botanist, gave me this sweet little lime plant last summer.

I was so nervous, I was certain it was a goner the second it entered my property.  I'm not the best with houseplants.

But a few days ago, I discovered these gorgeous little beauties....blossoms!

Will I get some limes??  I so hope so!!

{Product Development}

I'm working on a few  new things for my shop.

I realized that most of what I make is very neutral, so I'm going for a little different direction...

I'm working on some accessories and a few little cutesie things that no one can live without :)

These are some of the fabrics I'm using...

{What the heck are you doing?}

My husband has become possessed my the Nerf Demon and will not leave us alone!

Last night, I literally ripped his last dart in half because he wouldn't quit shooting us!

Sorry, Nerf Demon, but we want our man back!!

Oh...and I have the most exciting news ever!! But I don't feel like I can share it for a little while...

sorry.  I hate it when people say stuff like that to me...but I just did.

Till next time,
