It's a girl!

My cousin found out today that she's having a baby girl! Now I have to get the dust off of my sewing machine because I have some serious baby-gift-making to do! So stick with me and I swear that I'll post some things, for real this time!

Birthday Goodies!

My birthday was on Sunday and I got some sewing goodies from the ladies I work with!

Here's the whole lot:

Everything laid out:
The three different fabrics (we have an inside frog joke):

My cousin is having a baby early next year and she finds out the sex at the end of the month, I'm so excited to make some baby gifts out of these froggy prints!

Tumblr has taken over my life!

My crafting time has been drastically cut because of the hours and hours I sit glued to my computer blogging on Tumblr. I'm trying to cut down on that so I can get back into the crafting groove. I swear I haven't forgotten about you!

Sorry I haven't been around!

I'm in a little bit of a crafting slump right now. Don't worry though, I have birthdays coming up that I need to craft for so stay tuned!

My Little Ghosbusters Guy!

I found this site via Howaboutorange on paper crafting. So I needed to make this little Ghostbuster's character (he's not really a cannon character, but whatever.) Here he is!

Homemade Mac and Cheese!

I decided I needed to make some homemade macaroni and cheese today. Since I'm still pretty much a kitchen novice I needed an easy recipe. I found a recipe on Rachael Ray's website for Stove top Cheddar Mac and Cheese here. I halved the recipe since it was only going to be me eating it I also used mild cheddar instead of the listed extra-sharp (I've made this one other time and the extra-sharp was a little too 'sharp' for me). Here are some pictures of my adventure:

All of the ingredients:

The cheese sauce:Ta-Da! Finished Mac:
For a newbie cooker I would recommend having someone around to act as an extra pair of hands since noodles have a way of flying everywhere when you're stirring them in one-handed (trust me.) Other than that this is a really easy and great recipe. I would definitely recommend this to a friend.

Harry Potter = All Sorts Of Awesome!

Well, I just got back from the movie and overall I loved it! They left some things out that I would have loved to see but it was really funny! Much more than the book. I totally recommend this movie. Just keep an open mind and you have to realize that the movie and book are two separate things, so don't freak out because not everything that happens in the book is in the movie.

Dumbledore is one BAMF in this movie and there are some super special effects too!
