Crafts to Remember: Hemming Pants GRRRR!!!

Friday, November 13th, 2009

Since, I am short, I usually either have to pay someone or nag my mother in law or my mom to do it.  I can do it, but I REALLY REALLY hate hemming pants.  I found a place online that made hemming very simple and in three easy steps.  You can go to Cardigan Empire to find the tutorial.

Here are my results!

Baking Trials: Banana Peanut Butter Bread

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

A few weeks ago, I found a recipe online for Banana Peanut Butter  Bread.  I LOVED the idea since I love bananas and peanut butter, but I don’t like nuts.  It was a fairly easy recipe to fix; however, it did make quite a mess!  It was well worth it!  I found the recipe at Lickable Spoon.   She has tons of other wonderful recipes, but this is the only one I have tried so far.

Here is how it turned out!

Sorry, it has been a while.  Getting a new dog with separation anxiety can really take a lot from you when you are off.  Then, I was called into to work tonight.  :(   They need me.  Hopefully soon, I will be able to show you guys all of the stuff I’ve been up to for the last several weeks!
