Merry Christmas!

Peppermint Bark

White chocolate and peppermint. Red and white. Creamy and crunchy. That's what this is!
For some of my Christmas presents, I made peppermint bark. The recipe couldn't be any easier!

I melted the chocolate, spread it in a pan, and then sprinkled peppermint bits on top. I also swirled it around a little to mix the red in with the white.

I will be giving this away, although I did sample some. :)

Super easy and super yummy!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Enjoy the day!

Pumpkin Scones

With all of the pumpkin that we have left over, we've been making lots of treats. Yesterday, we made scones and were they good!

We made a spice glaze to go over them, with pumpkin pie spice.

And we made doll-sized ones too, just because. :)

They enjoyed them!

Patched Jeans

What do you do when your favorite pair of jeans get holes in them?

Patch them up!

And that's just what I did.

I took an old t-shirt and cut out patches from them. I made two ovals over the knees, hems around the bottoms and a flower to go on the back pocket.

I hand-sewed the whole thing, going over my seams twice to make sure that they stay.

The edges of the flower are starting to curl up, but I think that I'll leave it that way.

I love the way that they turned out, and I know that I'm going to have fun patching up my next pair when they get holes in them!
