Handmade Spotlight: Dramatique Designs

Today’s spotlight on the lovely Dramatique Designs. I love her use of Indian print fabrics (a particular favorite of mine!). When you’re not using your Curry Kay Designs Tote you couldn’t definitely put one of these handbags to use! When did you start selling? In April of this year What’s the story behind your company’s [...]

I have lot of facebook friends from high school that went on to be teachers and each year when I [...]

Gifts for Giving (Or Keeping): Back to School Supplies

I’ve resisted long enough. It’s time I admit that it’s BACK TO SCHOOL TIME! I officially got stuck behind not 1, but 2 school buses the other day. Then I stopped at Staples to make a copy and found it was packed. Like 20 people at the checkout packed. I should have run the other [...]

Handmade Spotlight: Alyssabeths

When I was younger I had a love of all things victorian-vintage. I was pretty sure that was the era I was supposed to live in (I have now switched that to mid-20th century, but that’s neither here nor there). I loved the romance, the fashion, and pretty much every book I read that took [...]

We Actually Made It…Fish + Rice Jello

When I was visiting my family last weekend I mentioned this post on different kinds of gelatin. My 10 year old and 13 year old brothers were of course enamored with the idea of fish and rice in Jell-O. They were coming back with me for a few days and so I thought “Why not? [...]

It’s Mojito Cheesecake Time!

The time has come for me to start trying out new cheesecake flavors for my Christmas gifting. Inspired by all the booze themed baking books that are out this year I thought I’d try my hand at some cocktail inspired cheesecakes. For reasons inexplicable to me, I started with the mojito. I’m not actually a [...]
