Chocolate Roll



This is our family's favorite desert. It's light and fluffy, but oh so bad for you. Tastes delicious and gluten free!

Candy Corn Cupcakes

Another day, another request from coworkers on what to bake. I'm not sure what it is about taking requests for baking that screws me up, but I always have some sort of error. This time around it happened to be the amount of batter I was putting into my cups causing them to flow up and out of the liners. I was doing a thin layer of the yellow and having a hard time getting the orange to layer in properly. I think they rose out of the liners a little differently than normal due to the extra moisture from the gel coloring.






They taste delicious aside from the actual candy corn on top. I can't believe people eat that stuff!

Brownie Cookie pie

At work we have what we call treat day Friday. A few weeks ago I was asked to make brownie cookie cups for my assigned day and I sure did try. I got everything together in my cupcake tins as per normal and put them in to bake. When I pulled them out of the oven the brownie top was burnt and all of the oil from the brownies had sunk to the bottom of the tin. No bueno... I thought I would give it one more shot and try it in pie form.




The pie turned out great, but I had to try a piece before bringing it in to work for my coworkers. Ghetto I know to have a slice out of a pie you're feeding to people, but seriously the first try was such a flop that I wasn't taking any chances. One thing I should mention is that I added Reeses peanut butter cups between the cookie and brownie layers and it was delicious!

Annabelle Fairy Princess Shirt

Annabelle is having a fairy birthday party this year so I've made her a fairy princess shirt. I didn't end up adding the number to the shirt, but will send an iron on to mindy that she can use on something else if she wants. I thought I would leave this one open so it might last beyond her birthday next year since I bought it a size bigger.




This project took a while, but I think it turned out really well.  I'm sorry that I started with a black shirt for Audrey.


Naked baby shirt!


Added details, but pending wings.


Face detail.


Added wings.


Wanted to personalize it with her name since it's the little Annabelle fairy princess.


Added sparkle for a finishing touch. I hope she likes it!

Graduation Necklace 2013

Graduation gift. Used red for the University color on the 2013 plate, but hard to see in the photo.








I also got her a Momiji doll which I love...

Graduating college in 2013... Freaks me out that it has now been 10 years since I graduated college myself. Getting old ahhhhhhhhh!!!

1st Birthday T-dress

I made this tshirt dress for my niece's first birthday. I wanted to try out the ink printing on black cloth. It turned out alright, but not what I really would have wanted for a birthday shirt.

Sparkly Crown Wall Art

My niece loves all things princess. When I visited for Thanksgiving we played princess at least 5 times each day. I have had this chip board crown since I got back from their house and just got around to finishing it up.




The sparklies say they shouldn't be eaten by anyone under 12. I guess those of us over 12 can chow down. Mindy don't let her gnaw on it.

Count Your Blessings

Second necklace which might end up as a charm anklet or bracelet. I'm not so sure on this one due to the size of the charms, but I think each piece is really cute.


Ignore the fact that I strung them backwards on the chain for English readers.

Nana Necklace

My sister asked me to make some necklaces for grandmothers for Mother's day. My own mom won't wear jewelry or I'd make her all kinds of stuff!
