Well Happy Monday to you!! It is hard to believe that it is already April. There is still snow on the ground over here – how about you? Although I did get some bulbs planted, and our garden seedlings are sprouting on the guest room windowsill. But that isn’t all I’ve been up to! DidRead more

And who doesn’t like those?Read more

Let’s face it. Egg dying can be a momma’s worst nightmare. I remember my mom setting up an area that Dexter would be proud of before she even let that liquid near the eggs. In constant fear of stained floors, tables, linens and walls; egg dying was a special treat that came with a lotRead more
Well Happy St. Patrick’s Day!! I hope you remembered to wear green today, or you’ll be hearing about it all day long. I spent my weekend working, hubby spent it spring-cleaning (bless him) and somewhere in there I found time to make a rainbow of DIY colored sugar. You know, for St. Patrick’s Day. (AndRead more
There are a lot of edibles that can be taken up a notch with some beautiful, colored sugars. These sugars are readily available in a lot of baking supply stores but can be up to $1 an ounce! Of SUGAR!? So for years, I’ve been making my own colored sugars. You can see them atRead more

I recently heard that the Monday after spring daylight savings time is the worst Monday of the year. What do you think? I have to admit I am not a fan of waking up in darkness. :/ I spent my weekend making mysterious potions and testing new crafts. Some worked, some didn’t, and some areRead more
