Sair's Place: August 2011

http://sairsplace.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html

Tuesday, August 23, 2011. I have not abandoned my quilt making plans. I have come to realize that it will not be completed by the end of the summer. Maybe it's not the best summer project - standing in a hot room cutting and ironing fabrics was not always my idea of a good time. But now that it is getting cooler I am sure I will be visiting this project more often. Here's some of what I have so far:. With lots more squares to cut out and assemble! You can find it here. This was very tasty! All items exce...

Sair's Place: June 2012

http://sairsplace.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html

Sunday, June 17, 2012. Every year, my friend Rebecca and I put on a recital to showcase our students. We typically give the kids a small gift - goodie bags, certificates, things like that. Rebecca really wanted to get away from giving out candy and had the idea of tote bags. I thought it would be nice to personalize them for each student and here's how I did it. I got the plain tote bags from BlankApparel.com. I used Tulip Soft Fabric Paint (matte). In total, I decorated 18 of these! It's something the k...

Sair's Place: December 2012

http://sairsplace.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html

Thursday, December 27, 2012. A couple of Christmas crafty things. I got these scalloped, flat cards, and coordinating envelopes at Staples on clearance. I dressed them up with a couple of stamps and they made great thank you notes. I like the slightly vintage feel of the font and the candy cane! I wrapped a gift for little Alex with plain craft paper, and decorated with washi tape. My mom and I created this wreath for her to give as a gift to her pink-loving friend. Not my taste, but fun!

Sair's Place: My Yarn Wreath

http://sairsplace.blogspot.com/2012/10/my-yarn-wreath.html

Wednesday, October 31, 2012. I recently hosted a craft weekend, and Amanda had the idea to create a yarn wreath. Kristi joined in on the fun, and I bought all the supplies but didn't jump right in. I wanted to. Amanda ran into some difficulties with her crappy yarn. Kristi had a much smoother time. Here is Kristi with her finished project! After much tying and untangling, Amanda got her whole wreath covered. Here's her final project:. Finally, this past weekend I was ready! I also added these rosettes.

Sair's Place: Bridal Shower Cupcakes

http://sairsplace.blogspot.com/2012/08/bridal-shower-cupcakes.html

Wednesday, August 29, 2012. I made the cupcakes for Kaitlin's bridal shower. I had so much fun trying out recipes and making the accompanying decorations. I decided on two flavors: Pistachio and Snickerdoodle. They were both cake mix based, which made my life easier! The recipe for the pistachio cupcakes with chococlate buttercream can be found here at Your Cup of Cake. And here is the recipe for the Snickerdoodle cupcakes with cinnamon buttercream (these were my favorites):. Stamps in "Love Birds".

Sair's Place: April 2011

http://sairsplace.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html

Sunday, April 10, 2011. Finally, a meal worth blogging about. We had steak, homemade mac n cheese, and broccoli. I have never prepared steak before and I decided on an easy rub found here. I didn't have any ancho chili powder on hand, or salt free seasoning blend. I threw in some Old Bay seasoning to make up for it. The steak came out really well. It was quite zippy and flavorful. My mac n cheese is pretty awesome, if I do say so myself. I used a combo of cheddar and pepper jack cheese. 1 Heat oven to 350.

Sunday, July 15, 2012. I think it's safe to say that recipes found on Pinterest are hit or miss. I found two winners this past week and I will share them now. 1 Chocolate Chip Salted Caramel Cookie Bars. 2 Twix Caramel Brownies. In closing, I think it's safe to say that the folks at 'two peas and their pod'. Know what they are doing! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Tiger Lily Girl Knits.

Sair's Place: September 2011

http://sairsplace.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html

Sunday, September 11, 2011. My mom and I hit a couple yard sales on Saturday in the Valatie/Kinderhook area. I found some pretty good deals! A yellow vase for a buck. It will work nicely with my Fiestaware. That's a cool black pyrex with snowflakes - 50 cents! And a Joyce Carol Oates novel for a quarter. I have the kindle now but I'll always be on the lookout for good cheap books! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Tiger Lily Girl Knits. Simple template. Powered by Blogger.

Sair's Place: May 2012

http://sairsplace.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html

Tuesday, May 15, 2012. This past Sunday was not only Mother's Day, but it was also my brother's 28th birthday. He was also born on a Mother's Day and it's always fun when the two events fall on the same day. I created this wrapping paper using my stamper and tied it with the baker's twine. I picked up this plain brown paper at Dollar Tree and you really can't beat the price. It's so versatile! Saturday, May 12, 2012. I have a blog! Here are a few cards I created for Mother's Day:. This stuff is great!
