Petite Flower Bracelet - Ready to Order!


Wow what a dreary day it is here in Charm City! I don't know about you but for me these cloudy rainy days make working so much easier. I got up this morning, heard the rain, and just got right to work. Armed with my camera, light boxes, and hot mug of spiced apple cider, I felt pretty unstoppable :)

This weekend was the conclusion of one of my favorite show venues: Ridgley Middle Craft Fair. This was my 3rd year in a row showing there and as such I've built up a bit of a following. It was not only great to sell in such a warm and friendly environment, it was also a joy to see so many familiar faces.  Thanks Ridgley for another great year! My next show is on the 3rd of December at Roland Park Country School's Holiday Fair.


Before I get back to my photo session I just wanted to share the link to my brand new bracelet design that is ready for Christmas giving up in the shop! Go check it out HERE.

Just a Few Photos





Things have gotten so busy this last week! I've barely come down from my studio (at least that's how it feels). I just wanted to share a few photos of some of my new work including these adorable Little Bird Pins and a brand new bracelet design.

My next show will be at Ridgley Middle School on the 12th from 10 am - 3pm. This is such a fun show to make it to if you can! The turn out is amazing for such a small venue and the people are so lovely to be around :)

Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe



Made chicken soup from scratch for the second time this year! Kirk was sick last week when I first attempted making it and it came out pretty darn good. (at least thats what he told me since I'm a vegetarian) This second time around I have mended my mistakes and hopefully tonight it will be really darn good :) Thought I'd share the recipe I've been toying around with:


Ingredients

  • 4 cups chopped, cooked chicken meat
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1/4 cup chopped carrots
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 8 ounces egg noodles
  • 12 cups water
  • 9 cubes chicken bouillon
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley

Directions

  1. In a large stock pot, saute celery and onion in butter or margarine.
  2. Add chicken, carrots, water, bouillon cubes, marjoram, black pepper, bay leaf, and parsley. Simmer for 30 minutes.
  3. Add noodles, and simmer for 10 more minutes.
