I just finished up these 5 clutch bags for bride to be Cate to give to her bridesmaids as gifts ( and one for her self too)! All the fabrics are Amy Butler, have a small pocket inside and where embroidered with he recipients initials inside ( I did not do the embroidery)



We got FIOs today so Im back on the interweb!! I was only able to check my email twice in 4 days...ugh does anyone ever catch up on their emails?? I swear i have read it,it just might take me a few days to get back to you!!

New services

No Internet for a few days, bummer, but we will be getting a better, faster service with more channels, Martha, DIY Channel, but what I'm most excited about it is the Military History Channel and... National Geographic Channel!! Im a total history geek. So in the mean time you can find me twice a day at Crossroads on the the South Side!! Brix also has tonsillitis, so work has been pushed aside til he is feeling better, plus Im workin on something really amazing that I will give you sneak peak at when the time is ready.......ahhhhh

Its nice to be home alone....

After dropping Brix at school, stopping at the Vita course to walk 2 laps and listen to some Michael Jackson. I came home to a quiet house and made some zucchini muffins half with walnuts and half without ( so Brix can take them to school)

I used this great pumpkin tin that I got for Brix 1st birthday party, it was a halloween costume party! The recipe is vegan of course! from my favorite cook book! Here's a great tip when your baking, I always have a great big bowl of cut up fruit out that I can munch on instead of eating the raw dough! But the good/bad/good thing about baking vegan is that there is never any raw egg so its totally safe to eat the raw dough!
