DPP :: The Ninjas are deadly and silentPosted by Alli on December 13, 2010
Today I made the Ninjabread Men for Damon’s office party. I also made some regular gingerbread men, but the Ninjabread Men were a bit cooler to make. However, I will note that making Ninja shaped cookies didn’t really put me in the Christmas spirit, as it would most of the time. Instead, I couldn’t get [...]
DPP :: GingerbreadPosted by Alli on December 7, 2010
First, I can’t believe I forgot to post this yesterday. I took the picture, uploaded it to flickr, and then got distracted. As has been mentioned in the past, making Christmas cookies is not high on my list of fun Holiday activities. But my husband asked me to make some for his office party and [...]
StripesPosted by Alli on July 12, 2010
I painted stripes in my new bedroom. I really thought it would lend an elegance to the room, especially since they are only on one wall, the wall I see when I wake up in the morning. I’m not a professional designer or painter, but I like them. I like them a lot. Our old [...]
DPP :: December 9Posted by Alli on December 9, 2009
I spent a lot of time making cookies today. Last year I ate my words and started making Christmas cookies with Fuller. Today I was making them so I could get out of the house this evening! There was a cookie exchange with women in our church and it was a lot of fun. We [...]
DPP :: December 6Posted by Alli on December 6, 2009
Fuller made this wreath today. I had leftover stars from the Advent pocket project, so I thought a wreath of stars would look nice. Tomorrow we will hang it in Fuller’s window. (P.S. There are no pictures of him making it because I gave him the materials then went to take a nap. I overheard [...]
DPP :: December 1Posted by Alli on December 1, 2009
In keeping with tradition, I am participating in this year’s December Photo Project. I’m getting this picture in just under the wire, but I promise, I’ll be back to update some more tomorrow. The picture above is a pile of Advent Pockets. I made them to hang on the mantel. They are not all done, [...]
Getting crafty: baking and sewingPosted by Alli on June 3, 2009
I have no idea how this happens, but sometimes I will just get bit with a crafty bug that will not let up until I do something about it. Which is why, last Friday night, I was cursing my lack of kitchen space and patience while trying to make these: They are called cakepops and [...]
Coffee on my mindPosted by Alli on May 17, 2009
We went camping on Friday and prior to the trip, I had only one real worry: how would I get my morning coffee on Saturday morning. I could have worried about how Tebow would behave, the weather, or if Fuller would fall into a poison ivy patch. Instead, I was obsessing over how to get [...]
I ate sixPosted by Alli on February 4, 2009
The official title of these muffins are “Bill’s Bran Muffins.” I have a vague idea who Bill is, but the recipe passed from my mom and I really, really like them. I haven’t made them myself before, I usually let my mom make them. But I figured I should have something easy to grab in [...]
Waffle-iciousPosted by Alli on February 3, 2009
On Saturday I made a list of meals and foods I would make this week. Some of them were one night only meals, and others were bulk items to be enjoyed everyday. Or almost everyday. Since we have taught Fuller how to toast his own waffles in the morning, I decided we needed to make [...]
