My Little Crafty Corner

Archive for February, 2010

Thanks to my friend Jennifer, she has finally got me into sewing again! I have had this baby blanket kit for quite a few years now. I had it tucked away, as I thought it was too complicated to do. How wrong I was! It was so easy! Now granted, I am not a sewer at all, so my lines are less than perfect, but I finished it and am happy with it. I have to wash it yet, and hoping that the cut edges fray like it says it will!

So I made this dessert tonight. It wasn’t bad, but not something I probably will make again, we shall see if my hubby likes it once he gets home.

I have a cake in the oven for tomorrow’s birthday of my oldest. I am going to need some sort of diet supplements for sure. All these sweets in the house! Not to mention its that time of the month, and my main craving right now is salty things. As soon as it cools, I will wrap it, so it doesn’t dry out until I can decorate it tomorrow.

Thankfully the next birthday isn’t until April!

I am still kicking around in the back of my head about a home business I could do to bring in some extra home income. Photography seems like a fun thing to do, but more and more people are getting into taking photos, so I think it will be over saturated. Knitting might be the way to go, but being injured right now isn’t helping.

If I had the money I would love to open up a little bakery/cafe. Baking has been a passion of mine for such a long time! I loved working in the bakery years ago. All those yummy smells! Being able to create some fun desserts and different kinds of breads was so much fun!

One day my dream will come true!

Doesn’t this sound yummy!?!

1/2 cup flour
14 cup sugar
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/3 cup milk
1 tbs vegetable oil
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup sugar
3 tbs unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup boiling water

In a bowl combing the flour, 1/4 cup sugar, and baking powder. Add the milk, oil, and vanilla; stir until smooth. Mix in the peanut butter. Pour the mixture into the crock pot. In the same bowl, stir together the 1/2 cup sugar and cocoa powder. Gradually stir in the boiling water. Pour the mixture over the batter, do not stir.

Cover; cook on high for 2 to 3 hours.

All I have been doing is browsing the internet, trying to find some sort of craft to do, that isn’t to strenuous for my arm. I have read so many reviews on different things, that my mind is starting to go in overload mode. So much so, that I was checking out phosphacore reviews and have no idea how I came across it?

I need to be able to knit again, so I can relax! I am going stir crazy! Its been 6 weeks and I am so itching to get back into my needles and yarn!
