Puppies

I found some little cute puppies at the toy store yesterday. I couldn't resist 59 cents each. I needed a little miniature time today. We've had a busy weekend. I am enjoying some quite time while my husband takes the kids thrifting. Ahhh. Deep breath. Quiet... Now to enjoy further quiet....

"Get Rich Or Die Mayan" Moped Rally

And Coconut Bars! A Martha Stewart recipe that you won't regret. They are really like little candy bars. Make them!

Thankful

Thankfulness... 1. For the little shoes, that every year, are getting bigger
2. Wool and Hoop for their great customer service and wonderful crewel embroidery thread. 3. The generosity of Carol from "MitchyMooMiniatures", for a wonderful giveaway I was fortunate enough to win. 4. Playing fun games (Snapshots Across America - a fun game for teaching the fifty states) for "school".

What I've Been Up To:
Looking for cute sandals- I settled on the red Saltwater Sandals.

Working on some of my embroidery for Wholly Craft in Columbus.

Looking forward to seeing some awesome mopeds at the big rally this weekend/ Thunder Over Louisville.

Eating way too much Taziki sauce. Fave recipe by Ina Garten. Even the kids were gobbling it.

Looking forward to making these coconut bars from Martha Stewart.

Have a great day!

What's Been Happening?

I got the Re-ment systems kitchen. I was starting to get worried I may regret not getting it. I love the cooking and kitchen aspects of Re-ment. The amount of gadgets, counter space, and sheer genius in the design on a miniature scale blew me away! Love it!

I received a wonderful package from one of my Flickr friends Snikey! She is so dear to pay attention to a comment I had left about how much I love the miniature "Le Creuset" magnets. And she sent one! Amongst other miniature goodies. The gals I have met through collecting Re-ment is just awesome!














The kids and I made a Leprachaun trap for St. Patrick's Day. He outsmarted us, but he did leave us a bit of a rainbow, Skittles!






We have been enjoying the unseasonable weather. So fire up the grill. I made some garlic naan bread, tzaziki sauce, grilled tomatoes and onions, and marinated chicken in a marsala mix. It was delish!
Things have been quite busy in these parts. We are looking forward to taking a break here at the beginning of April. I am planning on working on some embroidery again for my etsy shop. I've taken a bit of a break this winter, but have been asked to make some more pieces. I do love it and can't wait to make some new pieces.
Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Hello!

Wow, can't believe how long its been since I've blogged. It has been one crazy busy, sick season. As Feburary is heart month, come to find out, I have high blood pressure. Good part is, is that it is not diet related. Apparently it is "in the genes." I was feeling quite strange ( dizzy, flushed, fatigued, crazy headaches). Nutso. So good news I'm on meds. Then my little guy has been under the weather, and then on top of it has an allergy to the meds, which has covered him head to toe in red bumps.
Needless to say I have been one crazy lady.
I have medicated myself by buying some miniatures. So nice to self-medicated by shopping, right?
I have been going through trying to slowly buy re-ment sets that I had formerly missed. The other day I received the re-ment decorative cakes.


I had a wonderful valentines day! Sushi, followed by dessert, and wonderful gifts. We recently started watching "Adventure Time." I had mentioned I would love to have the characters.

Lo and behold, my husband got me Finn and Jake. Yay!
He also had heard me talking non-stop how the library needed to have "Bossy-pant," by Tina Fey. I just finished it the other day, and it was quite hilarious!

We made plans for a family day last Friday and went to see "Arrietty." Wow, if you enjoyed "Totoro" "Kiki's Delivery Service" or any of Hayao Myazaki, you will not be disappointed. It was really beautiful drawn. The story line is wonderful too, based on the book "The Borrowers." My kids loved it!

I hope to get to work on my room boxes again. I am always inspired by other's dollhouse creations! The entries for the "I'm A Giant" contest were simply amazing.

We had fun making goodies this month for valentines day. As a chocolate nut, I made some delicious chocolate heart brownies. Love love this recipe!
Then I made some cookies for a valentine party for the kids. I have been wanting to make a cookie with jam inside forever. So I made some hearts with rasberry and apricot preserves. They were delicious. They are a Martha Stewart recipe I found. They tasted amazing with coffee.

So good, you should make them.
I hope to be here again sometime soon. I love reading other's blogs, and thank you to those who stop by for a visit and leave wonderful comments. They brighten my day!
