Mystery Materials Craft Challenge – Challenge Accepted! AGAIN! | Short Pockets Number Two
https://shortpocketsnumbertwo.wordpress.com/2015/02/16/mystery-materials-craft-challenge-challenge-accepted-again
Short Pockets Number Two. Mystery Materials Craft Challenge – Challenge Accepted! February 16, 2015. As you know, I recently participated in a Valentine-themed craft challenge. Where we were given mystery materials and a theme and challenged to create something with them. I used the opportunity to transform an old cookie sheet into a serving tray. But since I spent the morning of the party pulling that craft together, I knew there was a chance I would show up empty-handed if I didn’t have the time. You a...

Short Pockets Number Two. Blueberries for Al – blueberry picking and blueberry muffins. July 30, 2013. Having already given us the book, Suzanne surprised us again a couple of months after Alister was born. She stopped by to drop off fresh blueberries right out of the patch. They were the best blueberries I had ever tasted and I was determined to figure out the secret. Turns out, it wasn’t much of a secret at all – she hand-picked them from a pick-your-own orchard in the area. The temperature dropped abo...

Short Pockets Number Two. Well it’s been about five years since I was a regular to the blogosphere, and the focus of this blog versus my last attempt is representative of all that has taken place over those years. Anyway, I do not see this search for projects going away anytime soon (Justin, just think of all the cookies you get to try along the way! For whatever reason, maybe it was something about being the middle child, but mine was the only one that really stuck. Now that I have a short pockets o...

Short Pockets Number Two. A BaByQ – A Barbecue-style Couples Baby Shower. October 7, 2013. This past weekend, we had the honor of celebrating one of my very best friends, Kelli. I love how you can take a simple theme, add a few little touches to pull it all together, and suddenly you have yourself a special affair rather than your ordinary party. A barbecue turned BabyQ was the perfect opportunity to spruce up your typical barbecue. Here is a look at some of my favorite details from the party:. Here is a...

Short Pockets Number Two. A Farewell to Summer – Peach Blackberry Pie. October 9, 2013. If you read the title of this post, it’s pretty clear that I’m a few weeks late in sharing a season-appropriate recipe. But it was so delicious, it was worth ignoring the pumpkin and apple inspired desserts of Fall. I found this amazing recipe. Makes one 9-inch pie. 2 1/2 cup all-purpose flour. 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cold, cut into cubes. 5 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons ice cold water. 1 In a medium bowl, wh...

Short Pockets Number Two. Carrotapalooza, Part 3: Baked and Wired Carrot Cake Cupcakes. January 3, 2013. After successfully using carrots to make both soup. I have reached the moment you’ve been waiting for (and by “you” I mean “mom”). The third and final installment of Carrotapalooza! Also known as the time I finally use carrots in the most obvious baked form and put them in a cake! Or little cup-sized cakes as was the case here. And as I was considering making another one, I opened the fridge to see th...

https://shortpocketsnumbertwo.wordpress.com/2012/11/07/as-american-as-apple-pie
Short Pockets Number Two. As American as Apple Pie. November 7, 2012. Feeling extra patriotic this week, I decided to participate in my American duty and vote. Well, that and bake an apple pie. I have been wanting to practice making a homemade pie before taking the plunge for Thanksgiving, and my husband has been committed to giving me the opportunity to “practice” before the big day. Well played, Justin. With forty pounds of apples, a gallon of fresh apple cider, and an Alister-sized pumpkin packed up i...

Short Pockets Number Two. A Berry Tasty Summer Treat – Berry-Lemonade Cupcakes. August 5, 2013. It has been a week since our blueberry and blackberry adventure. And we continue to work our way through the stash in the fridge. I had hoped to bake with the berries at some point, other than the impromptu muffins I made for the new neighbors, but I haven’t had a good enough excuse to use my time baking rather than tackling one of the more pressing home projects. Until this past Sunday. 1 cup cake flour.

Short Pockets Number Two. Mystery Materials Craft Challenge – Challenge Accepted! February 16, 2015. After a very long vacation from blogging, I’m baaackkk. And I have my great friend, Kelli, to thank for the inspiration. She hosted a party with a craft challenge theme, appropriately titled the “Mystery Materials Craft Challenge.” You can read more about it here. Now what could I do with these supplies? I quickly scrubbed off any remaining particles that remained and wiped it off with a couple of Clorox ...
