Another Business

I just opened up my new business, the Busy Izzy Bakery!

I found a resturant that will let me use their kitchen and sell my items there as well!

I'm also putting my paper cutter to good use,

and have added super cute cupcake wrappers for sale!

Thomas and I are getting slightly bigger from all the bakery test runs :o)

Toys!

So I've gone a little toy crazy!

I bought the Quickutz Silhouette!

It arrives in just a few days - I can't wait. I've been wanting a professional vinyl cutter, but I tend to bite off more than I can chew..

I'm going to start with this and see if I really need to move up. It comes with a holiday disc that looks just too cute! Can't wait to put up some holiday cheer in our house!

And I bought a soap and candle melter. It's been awhile since I've done either, but I'm looking forward to jumping back into it.

There are a couple Christmas gifts that I will be doing with these fun toys!!

Look out for some bath crayons to hit my Etsy store this season :o)

Time Waster?

Children of the 80's do you remember "Speak & Spell"? I love, love, loved it!!

And there is an online version of it. Only 1 mode works - the one where you hear it and then spell it. But it looks JUST like it! I'm fascinated!! I was feeling so proud when I get the words right too :o)

Come on, you know you want to check it out!

Speak & Spell

Cooking Time

Since having the baby I haven't been big on cooking, but I'm getting my mojo back! I have a gizzilion cooking books ( love Cooking Light and Rachel Ray - Yum-o!) and have dragged them out to find inspiration. Pot roast has become a 4 letter word in this house..

apparently I make it a lot :o)

And now that Isabelle is chowing down real food, I'm all about making it for her. Nothing like knowing where all her nutrition is coming from. I've done the fruity and veggie purees, and I'm on to new ground. I found an awesome recipe for vanilla biscotti!! It's perfect for her - slightly sweet, super hard for those chompers and fit just right in her hand.

If you want the recipe, just email me!

** and yes it's yummy in our morning coffee too :o)

Return to Blogger

I've taken a break from blogging. Business was crazy these past months and our baby Isabelle is crawling all over!

In the meantime I've taken up crochet again. I have to give credit to "Chicks with Sticks - Guide to Crochet" This book is awesome! Great instructions and modern patterns! I'm currently working on a hoodie for me. I'll post pics soon..

And my dear husband outfitted with me a screen printing setup for my birthday.

I can't wait to get started!

Onesies, tees, and fabric watch out!!

I shall return soon with pics and a tutorial!
