Crocodile Crochet Goodness

I made this crochet crocodile from the great kanlayanee on etsy during our trip. I love him so much! Although his teeth are rather large... he must be the dentist's best friend. I also made this flower from an old vogue knitting magazine.

Vintage Treasures

I was lucky enough to find this sweet little vintage doll while on vacation. She is so wonderful!
I also found this old millinery rose which I plan on making into a pin. Both great finds!

Lovely Vacation

This is the dock where we fished.

Beautiful Texas wildflowers that we saw along the road.

We had a wonderful time cooking out and making s'mores!! Such fun...

Cows grazing along the road.

The trip was a smash! We spent our time fishing, swimming, and sightseeing. The weather was scorching hot as it usually is in Texas, but it was bearable thanks to the cool water and air conditioner. I got to spend quality time with my family which was great. The afternoons were spent lazily reading or crocheting. All in all it was great fun!!

Bon Voyage and Thanks!!

My family and I are taking a little vacation for a few days... from June 19th through the 24th. I will be unable to access a computer during that time, so I cannot make any new posts. I am looking forward to the vacation though!! Also I would like to send a big shout out to the lovely Tracy of little t jane!! Thank you for featuring me on your blog! Very sweet of you! And bon voyage! :)

PS: The picture is of my cat Sheila! She's helping me pack before we go...

My Yellow Room

These are some pictures of my room in all its yellow glory. I love the color! It has a tendency to glow in the sun which makes me very happy. Our two cats Sheila and Leonardo, like my window and bed a bit too much...

Cooking in the Kitchen

Yesterday, I baked yummy cookies called Melt Aways with my sister! They are sooo good... and really easy to make and they literally melt away in your mouth. See the recipe at the bottom!

Melt Aways Recipe

3/4 cup cornstarch

1/3 cup powdered sugar

Beat butter. Add cornstarch, flour, sugar, and beat until creamy. Put wax paper on cookie sheet and drop cookies onto it (cookies are best when made bite sized). Bake 12 min. in 350 degrees oven. When cookies are cool, frost with icing.

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup powdered sugar

food coloring

Mix together creamcheese, vanilla, powdered sugar, and food coloring until creamy. Frost cookies, and serve.

My Agenda

Throughout high school I always drew in and collaged all of my agendas. This is the one I liked the most and did the most in. It was so boring before I started decorating it. Up top is the front cover.

Here are some pages I doodled on!

P.S. If you click on the pictures you can see it bigger!

Werner the Dachshund

One of our sweet dogs Werner (pronouced Verner), decided to help me out with my photo shoot of my dolls...

Bananas

My sister and I were bored at the table one day and out of a crazy idea, started doodling on bananas.

Some Favorite Things

There is something about glitter, yarn, and old books that I just love! They give me insiration for new artwork!
