I have been craving a BLT sandwich.  A well made one.  I think I'll start here.  Dinner is planned Kam!

The cutest prints.  I want to order some of this fabric so bad.  Love this shop!

I think this is awesome.

I might eat jello like this!

If I had a baby, I would totally buy this.  Or learn to make one.

I love these socks!

Kam and I are going on a date here soon.  Can't wait to try it.

Love these watercolor tattoos!

The State of the Union Address reminded me of this I watched a while back ago.  (good find Jo!)

I love these shoes.  Why does everything have to cost so much?  Time to save for spring accessories.

Let's add a little design to this Monday...

So I thought I would share what's been occupying my time and my brain lately.  This is the logo I created for the upcoming Museum of Arts and Culture's auction.  Along with the ad that is being run in both local and national magazines.  Pretty exciting for little old me.

Snow Boots and a Golden Retriever

In honor of my snow day today, I thought I would share my second skirt.  And maybe a few pictures of my happy pup too.  It is basically the same skirt as the polka dot one only I made it about 2 inches longer and added pockets to the front.  I love it.  No fortune today.  Happy Friday Friends!

French Dip Pizza

Ok, I got a little creative.  It was a good thing.
What you'll need:
1 24 hour pizza crust (split the dough in half for small, or use the whole thing for a medium-large size pizza.  This will be a half size.)
1/2 cup mozzarella (grated or sliced, your choice)
1/4 cup gouda  (grated or sliced, your choice)
1/2 cup caramelized onions and mushrooms
1 - 2 cups left over roast beef sherds and pieces
2 cups au juice 
7 or 8 fresh basil leaves

Prepare pizza crust to these instructions and preheat pizza stone to 450 to 500 depending on how hot your oven gets.  Saute about 1/4 of an onion and 3 or 4 sliced button mushrooms in a little butter.  In a small pan, make up au juice and place roast beef pieces into juice.  Bring to a boil and reduce heat, let simmer until ready to use.  

Once dough is stretched, make sure it still slides easily on the board.  If not, add a little more flour. Brush the outer rim with olive oil.  Layer onions and mushrooms, roast beef straight from the au juice (don't shake it, get some of the juice on there), cheeses and basil leaves onto curst.  You can do what you wish with the left over au juice.  Slide pizza off cookie sheet or cutting board onto pizza stone.  Bake for 6-7 minutes.  Be sure to remove pizza from stone once done or it will continue to burn the crust.  Let rest for 3 minutes before slicing.
This was so good, and we had just enough roast beef left over that we had this for dinner the next night too.  Its kind of a make it when you can type of pizza.  It's not everyday that you have roast beef laying around.  But, next time you do, keep this in mind!  You will be happy with yourself if you do.  Enjoy!

No more monkeys jumping on the bed!

Well here it is.  My first made by me skirt.  I only have one complaint.  I followed the pattern perfectly to size and all that jazz, but it could have been about 2 inches longer.  For a pattern, it's pretty short, which kind of surprised me.  So I will not be wearing my newly created polka dot skirt in the summer sans tights.  This baby is tights only.  But it was fun to wear.  The polka dot fabric is a taffeta and the black dots are a soft velvet feel.  Then I added a liner (which the pattern did not call for) and thats made from a super soft t-shirt material.  Waist band is elastic.  So, what do you think?

Best t-shirt ever.

I love this idea!

The name of this blog made me lol!

This ikea commercial is kinda old, but I still laugh everytime.

A most excellent give-a-way.

Really?

You've seen the typestache poster right?

Some of these animal photos are crazy awesome.

Does anyone else remember these cute little toys from when they were little.  I remember loving them so much!

I have done my fair share of business card design research, but I've never seen once quite like this!

Ok, thats all this time.
