Mmmmm...Mango!

I just made this Mango and Blueberry smoothie and it's delicious! Thank the Lord for wonderful fruit! I bought a package of frozen mango chunks/cubes at Aldi's and they work perfectly! I found the recipe on Epicurious ...lots of interesting recipes...take a look for yourself!

Hand-bound notebooks!



I've been enjoying the challenge of new crafts lately in the form of hand bound books. So far I'm going small so as not to overwhelm myself with frustration (not because of difficulty, but just because I have a tendency to get too far ahead of myself without reading directions and I end up having to redo what I thought I did correctly!)

Anyways, I hand-bound these cute little note card booklets. I think they would be a neat idea for gifts - either blank, or you could fill them with your favorite recipes to pass on to a friend...or of course whatever else you want to fill them with! We'll see where this takes me!

* Please excuse the terrible lighting...I took these early in the morning without any natural light!

Upon request, I'm designing a baby headband and have very much enjoyed the cuteness of it all :)

Crocheted in hot pink, it measures 1 3/4" wide and 15" long, has 4 buttons to make the headband adjustable, and a lovely light pink flower accent.

I may be making more of these (in other colors, etc) to sell on etsy. (I have posted a few more items for sale, so make sure to stop by!)
