My first time

I am new to blogging. But I am certainly not new to crafting. Creativity has always been natural to me as long as I know. But, I live in the real world and the real world requires a stable paying job that does not always include creativity. Or at least my idea of creativity.

I have always been the hobby crafter. Few things here and there. But it has been recently when surfing an online craft store that I was like "That is too cute!" and " I can make that!" Off I was, creating away so i could dress my daughter up super cute! I found my creative self again that had been lost to a "normal way of life".

Of course I have to show the girls at work. Then one day I was asked if i have pinned or posted?????

Well, here I am. What can it hurt? I am thinking of this as my trial run and a documentation of what I have done. Who knows, maybe I will find creativity in this as well.

This is one of my latest for my daughter. Its great that she loves everything I make her. The orange fabric was made from a table cloth I picked up at a rummage sale. I am always looking for items that I transform.

Harvest Season - Purple Hull Peas

 How time flies! Life has been super busy and it has been a while since I have updated this blog.  I just re-read the last blog I posted and a bit disappointed. I had high hopes that my daughter would be interested in gardening. Sadly, she isn't the gardening type. But she loves house plants! So maybe not a total failure. I recently harvested Purple Hull Peas from the garden. For those of you unfamiliar, Purple Hull Peas are from the cow pea family and are delicious. We were introduced to them in Mississippi where they are pretty much a staple. I tried to grow them in Maine with not much luck. They love the heat! Not only are these peas yummy but their pods make an wonderful jelly! I found this recipe on " Just another Day on the Farm "  This jelly is so good! Head over to the website to get your copy. Purple Pea Pod Jelly 4 C pea hull infusion (see below) 5 C sugar 1 package Sure Jell (or other powdered pectin) … 2 T lemon juice For pea hull infusion: I got 4 cups o...

Slow Cooker Taco Chili

My church had a Chili Cook Off last night to kick off this year’s family night. It was a runner up for most popular vote. I would have won if Zoey wouldn’t have mysteriously come up with 3 extra votes when it came to announce the winner. Ha Ha! All the chili was very yummy last night and I had to taste all 8 entries. Needless to say, I was soooo uncomfortable afterwards. It was fun! All my co-workers appreciated it too as I took what was left over to feed them the next day. I put together all the ingredients the night before and put it in the crock pot over night. In the morning before leaving to work I took it out of the fridge and put the crock pot on low for the day. Super easy and it is nice to get home from work to already have supper done. Slow Cooker Taco Chili Ingredients 1 pound ground beef (or ground venison) 1 pound bulk pork sausage 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes 1 (15.25 ounce) can whole kernel corn with red and green bell peppers ...
