What I'm eating for dinner summer series

Tonight's dinner main is my favorite staple to use over and over with little subtle tweaks to it here and there.

I use the zucchini and squash from my garden, hopefully will have ripe tomatoes too in a few days! Try to use veggies from your garden or farmers market for ultimate freshness!!

Ingredients:

2 zucchini
2 yellow squash
1/2 large garden tomato
1 tsp minced garlic (ready to use jar)
Sea salt to taste
Ground pepper to taste
Small sliver of butter



Spray pan, sauté Medium Heat

Add all ingredients except tomato, when squash starts to soften add tomato and cook a few more minutes till done

Enjoy your healthy meal!

Patriotic Nails!

This was a spur of the moment thing tonight when my 3 year old wanted a mani & pedi! Trying to get a 3 year old to sit still for @ 15 mins while they dried was quite the task! I also did my nails too.

I can post colors if anyone needs them.

Happy 4th of July!

Welcome Summer Wreath

I just love this wreath that I made on a rainy afternoon the other day!

I used a hay wrapped wreath with plastic overlay then raided my summer fabric stash that included Lilly Pulitzer fabric, mermaids and other fun prints! Next I made some ribbon, felt, and fabric scrap flowers, added some starfish, made a cute bunting out of felt and there ya have it!

If interested I am taking orders for wreaths with same or similar summer fun fabrics, they are priced at $50.00.

I have another cute wreath in the works with beach toys I will be debuting soon too!

I have been meaning to post some samples of sewing, embroidery, and appliqué project pictures for awhile now. So here are some things I have made for others and for my kids!

Mermaid is not lost at sea!!

I have been very sporadic about posting lately and this pic will explain it!!

My new toy, Singer Futura xl400 sewing & embroidery machine has sucked all of my time from me! I just love this thing! I have made 2 dresses, a necklace, and tons of embroidery monograms.

I will do some more posting tonight of some pics of all my latest projects!

Ice coffee ice cubes!!


As everyone knows I am a self confessed Starbucks addict!! So I am attempting to curb  my everyday (and sometimes two a day..gasp!)visits.  So I am making coffee ice cubes and I'm gonna use my k cups of Green Mountain coffee to pour over, add skim milk, and maybe even the Starbucks Carmel Drizzle on top as a dupe for my Iced Skinny Carmel Macchiato. Save me some calories too!

I promise I wont be absent again for so long again!  I have been on a crafting spree and I'll post some pics of that soon!  I'm also hoping to launch a etsy store too sometime in the future.

Stay tuned!
