Baking and Crochet...Nesting Much?

Lately I've been busy busy busy crocheting blankets. I spent such a long time stuffing up granny squares, that I decided to try this pattern at Ucreate. It looks great, but I forgot to take photos before gifting it to my 4mo nephew.

Here's my next project...a large granny blanket just for me. I think I've finally got it down pat...no skewing like I used to get. I have so many more crochet projects I want to try and I've pinned them into my pinterest account...now to find enough time to finish them all!

I also got the baking bug again and am totally in love with my new breadmaker! I late christmas present to myself :)

 Raspberry and chocolate low-fat muffins from my favourite muffin cookbook - 500 Cupcakes

German grain bread...my favourite for sandwiches. I've only used the Laucke brand of flours so far, but they're a hit.

Yummy raisin bread...I'll add some more cinnamon next time. Find the recipe here to make this yummy loaf completely in the breadmaker.

Newbies and Newsies

Howdy hey everyone. Yup, it's been a long long time, but with good reason. I have some news - a new little crafty baby is on the way! Wee!

What a cutie, huh! This is little "Button" at 12 weeks.

Everything's going well so far, except for the constant nausea and lack of an immune system...yuck. But the holidays gave me some time to create some gorgeous new pieces.

All these cuties are available in store right now. Fingers crossed I get some of my old energy back and have some brand new pieces for you very soon.
