Dee Makes Jewelry (110:365)

Dee is apparently quite dextrous.

She is able to string beads onto a thin elastic string all by herself!
I have a little creative girl.

Bling Bling Binky Clip (45:365)

I saw some of these online here and here (surprise, surprise, I'm a blog stalker) and decided to make one for myself. Well, not myself, but, well, you know... my baby needs it, sort of.

Anyway, here it is. 

It's waaaay cute, but kind of heavy, so we'll see how functional it really is.

Flower Earrings (42:365)

Made some cute little earrings today using this tutorial.
They were kind of really annoying to do, so tiny and hard for me to see, but I think I'll make some more anyway because they are so cute and Jane keeps begging for me to make her some clip-ons.

Patacones and a Chiffon Rosette (34:365)

Tonight I made patacones for the first time. They are a love of mine that I discovered half my life ago in Costa Rica. I got the recipe here. That blogger also had some good tips. Fried plantains. Yum. I like to use them to scoop up refried black beans.

Jane actually tried a bite and enjoyed them enough for 2 bites, then ate her first taco! (She is a typical picky toddler.)

Scott, my ever sceptical palate, ate them right up!
Here is his happy face.

Lucy is struggling with solids and did not like me trying to get her to eat some before her bottle. Instead, she just played in it for a while.

I also started a project I've been meaning to do for 2 months now. I am making a rosette necklace out of hot pink chiffon with a chain wrapped throughout. This is a TERRIBLE picture because I was feeling lazy, but it will not the be last. Once it's totally done I'll take another and post it.

Earings (23:365)

We drove down to Cedar City today. During the drive I made myself 2 pairs of way cute dangly earings. I'm going to be brave now and wear them. I don't wear earings...I'm feeling cute with them though.

Rosette Ring (1:365)

A couple of weeks ago I started making rosettes of different sizes after my friend Jessicah showed me how flippin' easy it was. I'm totally addicted to it now and just love how cute and dainty they look. Today I decided to make a ring out of one of my tiny rosettes. Isn't it cute?! I feel proud.
