vintage sheet/pillow case

the pillow case dress was actually made from a vintage

pillow case i found at a thrift store. i just love it, so pretty

and sweet. the dress with bloomers was made from a sheet

i found at a thrift store. i made two sets for the girls and have

plenty left over for the back of a baby quilt i think.

you can find vintage sheets now in abundance. i have two more

waiting to be turned into something fun....

My new "vintage" perfume tray. I've been searching for one just like this for a little while now. The antique stores sell them for loads of money, I scored one at a thrift store for way cheap!  I moved it from this spot to my bedroom where it makes things more pretty! I love being a girl!

Chicken Alfredo Pizza

Per Laura's request, a picture of our dinner. I apologize for the por quality of the photo, It really doesn't look yummy at all. But, it was. You'll just have to try it and find out!
Chicken Alfredo Pizza

Crust:
Combine and let dissolve 10 minutes:

 

1 C. warm water

1 tbs. yeast

 

 Add and let rise 10-15 minutes:

 

2 C. flour

1 tsp. salt

2 tbs. vegetable oil

 

 *Roll out dough & top with favorite toppings. Cook 15-20 minutes @ 425 degrees.

Toppings:

Jarred Alfredo sauce 3-4 table spoons spread evenly on dough

1 medium vine tomato chopped

1 Large handful of fresh spinach torn into bite size pieces

1 cup cubed chicken ( I used the tyson "frozen" grilled and seasoned chicken strips) I heated them in the microwave until warm.

Top with:

1 cup shredded Mozzerella cheese

1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

It was super quick and easy, my 4 yr old made the dough, we went outside for a quick post Easter- Egg hunt, came back in and topped our dough with deliciousness, and through it in the oven to bake. The crust was crispy but soft and the kids asked for seconds. I call that a successful dinner.

Cuddle Up

I finally finished this first quilt - from - wait, you're not going to believe this, October 2010! Talk about procrastination...pathetic. Anyway, it took 5 minutes to finish and made me feel really lame for not having done it much sooner.  The fabric is Bliss from Moda.

I finished the pink quilt in the middle of making this airplane one to finish off my little boy's room.  His only took a week, because I wasn't completely prepared, but could have taken just a day or two.  I love how it turned out:

I made the stripes different widths to add something fun to the design.  All the fabrics are from Wal-Mart, and the green is a sheet.  We tied this one with embroidery floss using the international stitch to hide it.  Anyway this is the reaction I got from little man when I showed it to him on his bed:

Worth it!
