Brace Yourself!!!

Martha Stewart better watch out!! I have been quite the Suzy Homemaker these days :)



First, I started out by making a couple of recipes found on Pinterest. First, I tried a Crockpot Orange Chicken. It ended up down the disposal. GAG!! Next, was a Buffalo Chicken Taco recipe. SUPER YUMMY!!! This brownie recipe is "Okay"...a little gooey, alright, A LOT gooey, but the kids and I had fun.



Then, I wanted to "warm" up our TV room a little so I bought some curtains. Problem #1: They were WAY too short. Problem #2: 96" curtains are STINKIN' expensive! I had a certain look I wanted and I had found the perfect curtains. Traci gave me the idea to add a panel to the curtains. So, being the Suzy Homemaker I am ;) I sewed my own panels!! They are not super fancy, but they fit the bill. Also, you will never really see the panel unless you look behind my couch or you are in front of the fireplace.








Then, I have wanted to make a little blanket for my neighbor who had a baby. So I picked out some cute fabric and cut it, on my own, AND sewed it all by my self!!! "SHUT THE FRONT DOOR", you say! I know, what it this world coming to? Then I made a couple of burp cloths to match :)





Before all of this took place, Steve and I started a new project on our entry way from the garage. It is not quite finished, but here is a sneek peek :)




At this rate, you might just see me on the next DIY network series ;)

HOLY COW!!!!! You are on a roll! Very impressed - but even though it is darling I am still a little peeved that you purchased fabric at JoAnn's instead of a quality store, you should know better! Be careful cuz if you keep this up you may find yourself working at a fabulous local quilt store ;)
