For Thanksgiving festivities this year, I made/created a Chocolate Kahlua Pecan Pie. I know some pecan pie lovers are purists and against adding other ingredients to their traditional pecan pie, but I am not. And I love chocolate…and liquor! There’s nothing better to add to a pecan pie to make it even better!
For my 30th Birthday, my best friend made me a very cool bird mobile from Spool. However, we took it apart for the ride home from Savannah, and when I tried to re-assemble, I couldn’t get the mobile to balance.
Our master bathroom is huge. It’s enormous. And i know this is a unique problem (probably not to be pitied), but it’s really got a lot of wasted space.
Here’s a picture of our jack-o-lantern’s and overall Halloween diorama that sits outside our apartment door.
I don’t like to do much cooking in the summer that doesn’t involve a grill. However, this pot roast uses a slow cooker and is easy to make. If you don’t think of it as the perfect summer food, let this be a prelude to the autumn that lies before us.
As some of you may know, I’m getting married on April 19th. Well, I’m really excited right now. Some of our wedding gifts have started rolling in, and I would like to rave about my china–Taika by iitala. I just picked it out because I really liked the graphics, but I hadn’t seen it in person. Mom and Dad have […]
It’s cold outside; Texas & Trixie say go back to bed!
Inspired by the sundry Sputnik-style tree toppers on Ebay, Erin and I decided to hold a sputnik tree topper competition.
I’ve put up my first ever full-size Christmas tree. It’s a retro aluminum tree with a color wheel light. It’s so pretty (even if I do say so myself)! Look for the sputnik tree topper competition later on Julepstyle.
I made a stereo cabinet that I got from the Habitat Resale Shop into a bar. All I did was rearrange the shelves a bit, put mirrors on each shelf, and update my stemware/liquor collection. This was a pretty cool project; I’m very happy with the results! Cocktail hour at my place tonight.
The perfect hors d’oeuvre for any Champagne Thursday is Fat Cracker. I don’t know the original names for these divine little appetizers, but they really should just be called Fat Crackers. Bacon fat baked into club crackers with melted, bubbly Parmesan cheese. Yummy. I’m lucky–because my metabolism is so high, I can eat a million Fat Crackers and still not […]
We have another great recipe called Pecan Pilaf. My mom made this for Thanksgiving; it tastes very, very yummy.
Now that the post-Thanksgiving Rush has settled down, and I’m looking at the home stretch for my exam studying (12/5 & 12/6), It’s time to post some new recipes.
It’s about time to post this neck warmer I made. It’s a great pattern by Shara at Craftster (Pattern Link Here.) I worked on this lovely piece at the meeting of crafty/stitchin’ ladies here in Myrtle Beach that happens every other Sunday evening.
I made these owl notecards last night. I just love googly eyes; they’re so useful.
