Round and around and around and around
and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around …………………………………….
Dizzy yet?
I was… well kind of.
I spent several hours going around and around to make this fabulous infant afghan
Its made with homespun yarn and is super soft.
This was a perfect project to work on while I was out of commission this past week. I’m still quite tired, it takes a while for me to bounce back after any illness now… so I’m working on another afghan while I work on getting back to “normal”
Happy Monday!

No Bake Cheesecake!
I have a “thing” for really simple recipes. And if there is not actual baking involved, even better! A friend of mine made this for a party a while ago and when it was my turn to bring the dessert to the ladies meeting at my church I knew exactly what I wanted to make!
Ingredients:
1 1/2 blocks of cream cheese
3/4 cups of sugar
1 container of whip cream (I used cool whip)
Graham crackers
1 can of pie topping (flavor of your choice. I went with strawberry)
In a large bowl whip together the cream cheese, sugar and whip cream until completely smooth.
In the bottom of a 9x13 inch pan, place graham crackers as the crust.
Spoon in the Cream Cheese mixture and smooth over the graham cracker crust.
Add your topping.
Refrigerate for 2+ hours and you’re good to go!
You can sort of see the layers in this picture.
Mmmmm Yum! It was a big hit at the ladies meeting too :)

Happy Monday!

Managing Monday’s
Monday’s are not my friend. In fact I kind of despise them… Monday’s mean the weekend is over, Mule has to go back to work (if it was his weekend off), there is laundry to get caught up on and the house is usually a mess. I’ve found the best way for me to manage Monday’s is to plan my day in advance.
Sunday night, before bed, I spend around 30 minutes planning my Monday and the rest of my week. This is the second week I’ve been using my planner, and I am so happy with it. Each day has assigned “chores” for me to take care of in order to get (keep? lol) the house clean and tidy.
This week I’ve got some projects I need to work on…
(click on the photo to be taken to the original post)
Super Cute bag… like I need another purse… but I really want one :)
These are brilliant! And I need them… gonna whip some of these beauties up right away!
I think that this is one of the cutest aprons I’ve seen yet. Comes with a fabulous tutorial too!
If I find the time, I totally need one of these! I’m bring part of the snack for the ladies meeting at church this week! And this would be ideal :)
What’s on your “to do” list this week?
