Baker's Dozen Yeast Rolls

Anyone who knows me, knows that I love to make rolls. I am so much better at rolls than I am bread. Here are a few new recipes that I have stumbled accross that have been added to my collection.

Divide into 13 pieces. Shape each into a ball. Place in a greased 9-in. round baking pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.

Cookie Clay Dough

I have a little guy that struggles sometimes in spelling. He actually does OK we just have to work really hard. I found this recipe on Everyday Food Storage. I modified it a bit by using real eggs. The original used 2 Tbs. Dry Egg Powder. At the beginning of the week, I quized him on his spelling words. With the words that he missed, I had him spell them using the cookie clay dough. We baked them and he ate his hard work. He really enjoyed this. It made spelling homework turn into fun (something that every 7 year old boy loves).

Another Wreath

I was checking out crafty blogs a few weeks ago and I stumbled on this wreath that looked fun to make. It was on Redberrybarn.blogspot. com. It is made mostly out of burlap. The cost was under 5 dollars. I took an old frame and sprayed it with flat black spray paint. If you type in Urban Corsage on the Internet, it teaches you how to make these cute little fabric roses.

P.S. Here is your evidence that I have little kidos running around our house. There are finger prints all ove my piano :)

Valentine's Day Wreath

This is just a quick little project that I made. I don't have many valentine's day decorations. I just picked the Love hanging up from Michael's and tied it to a grapevine wreath with some scrap fabric.

Tissue Pom Pom's

This is a little projust that I made for my 2 year old's room. It was cheap - like $2.00 cheap. They added a cute little touch to her room. The idea came from Martha Stewart. Follow this short cut: http://www.marthastewartweddings.com/article/pom-poms-and-luminarias
