Fabric!

I love finding new and fun fabric!  Check out this print I found in a bargain bin - super cute!


It's an Alexander Henry fabric called "Beach Boys", naturally.

I couldn't resist giving this adorable vintage looking fabric a pattern it deserved.


My new apron (oops, need to cut the thread at the bottom)

Easy Fix

Winter is upon us and it's pretty easy for our front halls to start looking like an unorganized mess!
One of my biggest pet peeves is when a boot falls over creating a domino effect.  Soon enough not one boot is left standing and my foyer looks like a disaster.

Here's a cheap fix I came up with last year to keep my boots looking more orderly and neat.




You will need:

-unbroken (still intact) chopsticks 
-some paint (I use acrylic)

Everything Is Better With Nutella


Being the product of a mother that has a great affection for chocolate and a father that loves hazelnuts, it's probably no surprise I inherited the "Nutella" gene.
FACT:   The amount of Nutella jars sold annually if lined up, would wrap around the moon four times!  Obviously, I'm not alone....

Here's a tasty recipe for all you Nutella Freaks out there.  
I discovered this recipe from another blog and had to make it!    
A combination of  Nutella and bananas = the perfect marriage.

Neat As A Button



Look how cute these little guys are!  My fridge is covered with these buttons and I have to say that they are a great addition!   Not only are they small and cute, they can be quite strong depending on the magnets you use.   This is a very easy project so let's get started!
