Got the Blues

Ok, this isn't really baking related, but I wanted to share this cool project that Christopher and I did. Inspired by the cool Idee Color thing, I took pictures of all things blue (C's choice) during a little walk we took to Compton's Market the other day. Put them all together and voila! A beautiful blue picture collage. At Gregory's suggestion I also took pictures of all things S, so here's our letter collage...


Christopher loved pointing out blue things, especially the bright blue soda at the market! And who knew there were so many blue cereal boxes? Maybe we'll make it into a continuous project and do a different color each week. This is a great little fun (and free!) project to play with your kids, especially if they're just starting to learn colors or letters!

If you haven't checked out the Idee Multicolor Search Lab you're missing out- it's so awesome! This links to my favorite color search: pink & purple. But you can do whatever color combination you want, up to 10 colors!

I will get back to the baking posts soon, I promise! Have a great weekend!

Girls 'n Bows

I was originally going to keep this blog for my baking endeavors, but since I don't bake every day I've decided to expand it to all things creative. My latest diy project has been making bow headbands for little girls. I recently bought one on etsy (for my non-existent daughter, of course) because don't you just love a huge bow on a little baby? Well after examining it I decided that I could make them myself! So after trips to Joann's Fabrics and Michael's craft store, here's the finished project: a cute little pink bow headband, perfect for Easter! And if you see something you'd like to buy or have customized on here, just shoot me a message! Here's my friend's little daughter, Katie, modeling the gorgeous blue grosgrain bow for us. That one's my favorite!
