Mint Hot Chocolate - Yum!

I made several jars of the Mint Hot Chocolate from the old Girl Scout recipe and it is to-die-for!

There is a slight change to the original recipe though, so here is the updated version:

22 1/2 oz. (box) Carnation Powdered Milk
16 oz. CoffeeMate Powdered Creamer
22 oz. (big container)  Nesquick (a.k.a. Nestle's Quick) Chocolate Milk Drink


Mix according to the size of your mug. For my bigger mugs it takes about 4 tablespoons. But you'll figure it out. :)

Babies on my Mind

I've had babies on my mind lately. First, my cousin had a set of preemie twins that are rocking everyone's expectations and doing really well. Second, a very sweet friend of mine is pregnant after much trying, and is due soon.  She's a lot like me, not "typical" and works in IT, so I've been working on a special diaper bag for her. One that's not the typical flowery, girly type.

I've modified a messenger bag pattern to be a diaper bag. I'm really liking it and will post pictures when it's all done. It's a Detroit Tigers theme bag and would make a really good bag for dad's to carry. one that can double later on as a laptop bag if they really want.

Princess fabric has moved into my house too. I swear, it followed me home, really! I made a couple of purses for a friend's twin girls who love-love-love! the Disney Princesses. They love them! As one of a kind purses, they'll be worn out soon I'm certain, but they did serve a good purpose as I made the pattern as I went along. Now I have a pattern I can use to make more little girl purses for my etsy shop.

Much sewing to get done this week, so come back after the weekend. I hope to have pictures up of a few items that are being added to the store. Hopefully some aprons will get finished up too.

Hope your Holidays were bright!
