Stamping Workshop This Weekend!

I will be at the Glitter Workshop (Mineral Point Rd)in Madison this Saturday from 10-1 hosting a hand stamped jewelry workshop. You can come in & make something for Mother's Day, a special graduation gift or a great gift for yourself. I will have TWO stamping stations going so it should be great. I also have a new set of letter stamps and new bracelets too.

It will be a drop by kind of day so stop in whenever works for you - no need to register.

See you then

Smile!

Ahhh...those silly girls....here they are just after dance class.

And this is what they are like at home. Almost always in dress-up clothes, but acting goofy. I love those crazy kids.

My new workspace

So....I finally took the plunge & decided to rearranged the house. I L-O-V-E it! My only regret is that I didn't do this a long time ago.

Now I have a sewing table AND a work table. And I am moving all of my crafting supplies from the side porch into the room as well. Here is a picture of my fabric. I "cut back" my fabric but it still doesn't all fit on this shelf so I have my flannel/fleece in a different cabinet. Also the kids have been using the table every day. They have been painting & coloring at it.

Wow

Where does the time go!? I have been a busy bee making bracelets for my groopdealz offer - which was a great success I am so happy they featured me! I plan on having them all out by tomorrow so I can crack down on getting ready for summer markets. They will be here before I know it.

I have made a new bracelet style and LOVE it. Other than that I am just waiting for spring - patiently. And I have been ordering lots of great new fabrics for purses & headbands!

I hope you are all having a great week.

New Goodies!

Yippee!! I have made a few new things lately that I will be "debuting" at the trunk show tomorrow.

I made wristlets - in all sorts of yummy fabrics. They are lined, have a pocket & a zipper - its like the perfect little purse.

There are new bracelet styles too. I will have them made from multiple strands of cotton cording or glass beads.

And I'm bringing back an oldie, but a goodie Since this show is called the LUCK of the craft & Saint Patty's day is just around the corner I have made a bunch of my LUCKY penny goodies. I'll have rings and necklaces too.

4 Cheese Pasta Florentine Recipe

This is one of the best new recipes I have tried in awhile. It was even a little bit more delish on day #2 for lunch!

3 c uncooked mostaccioli noodles

1 pkg (8 - 10 oz) frozen chopped spinach

4 oz cream cheese - cube it up

1 c Cottage Cheese

2 eggs

8 oz (1 small package) shredded mozzarella cheese

1/4 c Parmesan cheese

-cook pasta according to directions on package

-thaw/cook spinach according to the package as well. Once the spinach is ready & drained add it with the cream cheese in a medium/large bowl & mix until the cheese melts.

-Then add the cottage cheese and eggs - stir well.

-once the pasta has cooked drain it and add it to the spinach mix, stir in the mozzarella cheese.

-Put mixture in an 8" or 9" dish. Then sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese.

-Bake for about 25 Minutes at 375 - or until the center is set.

I paired this up with soft rolls and garlic green beans/carrots last night - it was really good & smelled great while it cooked!
