I did basically nothing all day but made some french bread pizza. I used the dollar french bread from Walmart. I only used half of it because it is huge. So just cut in half then cut it open. Put sauce and cheese on and put in oven until cheese is melted. It comes out crunchy and melted and so good.
No pictures of the pizza after I cooked it because it was so good. Me and my daughter smashed that.
I woke up and made some crepes. Really easy and doesn’t take that long I like mine just powdered sugar and butter. Sometimes I like jam and powdered sugar and butter. Don’t worry about trying to make them super thin it really doesn’t matter at all. I also don’t like them a little under cooked I just want them to set and flip.
I’m so glad was busy all day. And I did a lot of sewing yesterday and I got alot done. I made my niece two eye mask for her birthday.
I made my other niece some pants and tested a shirt pattern that I made out of a old shirt I had.
I made my daughter some pants as well and a pajama pants and jammy dress.
I also made a pair of jammy pants for myself. It was the first time I made anything for myself. I make lots of things but usually for other people. I sew for my daughter. Scrapbook and make jewelry for my mother in-law. Cook for my significant other. Paint things for my daughter’s room.
Im going to start shirt for my daughter with another old shirt of mine. Really got to get on makeup gift bags and placemats.
Today I wanted blueberry muffins but hate to deal with muffin cups and half the time when I peel off the muffin cup half of the muffin stays with the lining. So I made pretty much just blueberry muffins in a pan. So easy blueberry muffins.

Was going through some things in my closet and found a plate I was going to hang up. It’s an old plate that went to a tea set my mom had. My daughter found it and randomly asked if it was my marriage plate? My daughter is five and I’m just like what? Marriage plate she said you eat off of it when you get married. I thought that was the cutest thing so I said yes that’s exactly what it is. I just forgot to put in China cabinet. I have no idea where she got the idea but it was so cute and adorable and also sounds like it could be a tradition somewhere that I decided to make it ours. She likes to use it randomly excited that she gets to use the marriage plate. Shes so careful with it makes it even more adorable.
I love crafting, creating, making, and just doing things that made me happy. I enjoy most crafty creative things. Some of them include photography, scrapbooking,card making,sewing quilts and clothes, jewelry making, cooking,baking, organizing, and decorating. There are some things that don’t have a category to be grouped with best I guess crafting. Like last month I made my daughter a butterfly headband.
So I’m crafty and a little dorky and I’m going to try to share my crafty dorkiness.
I finally did it. I made my homemade gingerbread house. I made the dough recipe which I kinda hated but came out good. Here’s the recipe.
Ingredients
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup honey
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1 1/4 cups margarine
9 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon ground ginger
2 teaspoons ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions melt butter add sugar honey and corn syrup. In big bowl add flour spices and salt. Slowly add wet mixture while you mix. I used my rarely used KitchenAid mixer. My mixer had hard time because so much. Supposed to let sit for half hour but I didn’t and it was fine. Really didn’t need four to roll out either. Took me while to cook all the pieces so my oven was on a while. Made royal icing for the glue frosting. That recipe is just about a pound of powder sugar to two egg whites beat until stiff. If after five minutes still lose need more sugar.
I added the sides let sit for five minutes then added the roof. Then let sit for 20 minutes and amazingly it didn’t fall apart.
Unlike most people I got candy that looked good but my daughter wouldn’t eat. She eats candy with her daddy all the time. We decorated for fun not to eat candy. I also don’t have to worry about her picking at it cause she doesn’t like the candy so double win.
Loved making this with my daughter. I have never made gingerbread homemade. I always bought kits. Honestly probably cheaper to make kit but always wanted to make once. I also not really a fan of gingerbread spice smell. Idk if I’ll do again but was glad I did it. Planning on destroying when holiday is over.
Just discovered a old show new to me that I absolutely love. It’s called Victorian farm basically people living in Victorian farm and doing everything the way they did back then. I adore this show started off on second episode because I do me. Woman is hand sewing clothes men where making bricks by hand love it. They made flooring with blood in it. Loved every minute of it. It was like a show I used to love watching frontier house. Same idea different time. I loved that show.
Frontier house was more dramatic but loved it.

I am a huge procrastinator. I’m supposed to make eight bags for a wedding shower. I also have to make my mother in law placemats for Christmas. I also randomly volunteered to make my niece pajamas pants and some other pants. On top of that I randomly started making my daughter pajamas. And last thing I volunteered to make some face mask for friends. I am done buying fabric for while and plan on doing this all before end of year. I’m not a fan of new years resolutions but this is my end of year resolution. I am going to make everything I mentioned and yes more cause I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t have a rediculous amount of projects already planned. I’m going to take back my projects and get stuff done. Here come what will probably be a endlessly expanding list of my planned projects for my end of year finisher.
I know I’m forgetting so much but this is a start. So I’m going to start but like always i jump around on projects in haphazard way that makes little to no sense. But I’m determined to get things done. So wish me luck and I’ll show what I do.
