I found this recipe on pinterest a few weeks ago and have tried everything to make them "look right", but nothing has worked. They are hideous, but delicious.

Comfort in a dish
This is my mother-in-law's ham and scalloped potatoes. Quite possibly one of the most comforting, rich, creamy meals to eat when it's cold outside or you need some cheering from the inside out. If I could eat this and my mom's chicken Kiev with mushroom sauce every night without gaining 100lbs I would...

Party Hat Cat
This is a rough prototype for my fabric party hats for bug's birthday party modeled by the lovely moe. the cat.
So far this is a cheap dollar store party hat wrapped in fabric (secured with hot glue) with ribbon ties. The Mickey head was cut with my Cricut machine. These will also have tulle pom poms when complete.

Snuggle time
Ignore the poor quality of the photo due to low lighting. What this photo shows is a moment that is becoming more and more rare as the days go by - a peaceful toddler and a mommy taking the time to enjoy it.

Ribbon topiary
These are still a work in progress as I haven't finished the bases they will be "planted" in yet, but they are fun enough to share.
These were a very cheap, but time consuming project:
2 styrofoam cones - $2.00 (dollar tree)
Assorted ribbon - $8.00 (various craft stores)
Pins - $1.00 (dollar tree)
Each took about 5 hours total to make, but it wasn't tedious as I worked about 1-2 hours at a time while watching tv or movies after the bug went to bed.

One a Day for March
I tried the blogger "one a day" post project last year and was (kinda) close to successful. As I have about a million projects I am working on right now (and finally have an i-phone which makes picture taking and uploading so much easier) I've decided to do one photo a day for March. Some photos will come with recipes or tutorials and others might just be for fun.
Enjoy!
