A Tiny Card...

I made this little card for a friend of mine at church.
It is not a traditional Birthday type card but I loved the sentiment so I had to use it!
The little dough-nut was made with sculpty clay and topped off with glass glitter.

Another Birthday Card!

I made this card for the student leader that helps in my Sunday school class. I used a picture of Wednesday that I took in our backyard.
For the all over blue-hue I used a wash of pearl-ex and glazing medium. The white just looked to.....well..white!

Happy Easter

Here is another Easter card I made. The glitter is glass...I love the way it looks like sugar.
Keely found these little chicks with the hats on and just had to have them. I must say they do make great subjects:)!
Happy Easter!

Happy Spring Y'all!

Here is a card I made...I was having fun taking pictures of some little chicks I bought. I am a sucker for cute little things. Keely is too. We named the chick in this photo Bernard. What a sweet little guy, he posed for his pictures without complaining.

Another Tasty Dish!

Another Poblano recipe! I love a casserole type dish that can be eaten more then once.
This is a little different then previous dishes because the cornmeal adds a whole new flavor!
Enjoy!

Stuffed Poblanos

1 28oz can whole tomatoes in puree
1 jalapeno chile minced (optional)
2 small onions chopped
3 garlic cloves (I used the minced ones in a jar)
salt and pepper
1 19oz can black beans rinsed and drained (I used 2)
½ cup yellow cornmeal
1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
1 tsp ground cumin
4 large poblano chiles, halved lengthwise, stems intact, ribs and seeds removed


Preheat oven to 425. In a blender combine tomatoes, jalapeno, half the onions, and 2 whole garlic cloves/ Puree. Season with salt. Pour sauce in 9x13 baking dish. Set aside.
***You could probably use enchilada sauce and that would be just fine.

In a medium bowl, combine beans, cornmeal, ½ cup cheese, remaining onion, minced garlic, cumin, and ¾ cup of water. Season with salt and pepper.

Dividing evenly, stuff poblano halves with bean mixture; place in top of sauce in baking dish. Sprinkle poblanos with remaining ½ cup of cheese:
Cover baking dish tightly with foil.

Bake until poblanos are tender, about 45 min. uncover and cook 10-15 minutes more until sauce has thickened and cheese has melted.
Let cool a few minutes before you scoop it out.

Head-Band!!!

This was a little project...A headband for Wednesday! thought this would be easy, but I think my tools suck. By the time I hacked away at the wire it was a bit small..Oh well, pretty good for a first try!
I got this idea from this tutorial.
Thanks willynillywaterlily!

Dress Making....

I made this dress for Wednesday, so I thought I would post it! I wish I could say I sewed this but I used fabric tac and velcro!!! I am happy with how it turned out. I had just enough scrap fabric to complete it. The straps are ribbon, but you can't see it that well.

In the second photo, you can see she is wearing a sweater...We borrowed this from Gabriella, Keely's Highschool Musical Barbie!!

Enjoy!!
