Ava's Blankie

Miss Ava Jane turned one and I made this blankie especially for her!

I love the fun colors with the white background, and the gray minkee on the back makes it extra cuddly. When she opened this gift the first thing she did was cuddle it to her sweet little face!

Owl Tote Bag

I saw this owl fabric one day and had to get it! It is a heavier weight fabric and immediatly a tote bag came to mind. A dear friend of mine is an owl fan so I made this for her! I really love making things that are useful.

Custom Order

What I love about custom work is the anticipation of two visions taking shape. Maybe it is something in a different size, maybe different colors--either way I love the process and making something specifically for someone is especially rewarding.

This one is off to be loved, snuggled and dragged everywhere!

Peanut Butter Cup Mini Donuts

I have a coworker who might enjoy baking as much as I do. The only problem: he thinks he can do it better! This has resulted in two challenges so far--rice crispy treats and today's challenge--mini donuts.

I won the first challenge with Pumpkin Spice Rice Crispy treats. I found the recipe here: http://www.shugarysweets.com/2012/10/pumpkin-spice-rice-krispie-treats. The biggest challenge for this recipe is finding the seasonal pumpkin spice pudding mix!




Today's mini donut challenge brings his Red Velvet donuts and my Peanut Butter Cup Mini Donuts. I found the recipe here: http://www.thegunnysack.com/2013/10/baked-peanut-butter-cup-mini-donuts.html.

 
A couple tips: if you do add chopped peanut butter cups to the donut batter, it may clog the piping bag and become super annoying. Just sayin'.
