Here are monster portraits embroidered into wall art for my friend’s nursery.  Three monsters, Ma, Da and baby me.

The friend I was knitting for agreed that Rebecca Danger’s monster swings were really cute, so  I made 3 for the baby’s room.

Do you remember when I found these place mats?  Four of them make a great tote bag, and use belts for the handles and you have an upcycled bag made of 99% reused materials.  Save the belt findings to make great bag closures.

Total cost for the two bags: $4.30

Today is my beloved’s birthday.  He loves brownies so this year I made a round white cake (2 layers) and then made brownies in a round cake pan.  I put a thin layer of frosting between the layers and the brownie became the middle layer.  I did not frost the sides, because I wanted to go light on the frosting.  It was not an even cake, but it is tasty!

Do you remember this fabric?   It was a table cloth that I got for .90 at a thrift store.  Now they are two mors shopping bags.  http://www.morsbags.com/

This chest of drawers is one of my all time fav thrift store find.  It has dove tail drawers, real wood back, solid construction, cherry stain and dust shelves.  For $83.00 and only a three block trip on the top of the car it was a steal.

I took these pictures when it was the first signs of spring.  And even though it has only been a couple of weeks spring is here in full force.  Still these are beautiful.
