Satin Bows and Silver



Today's fun was making satin bows and attaching them to this metalic silver flip flop.  The embellishment in the center of the bow has a single rhinestone and adds a little extra charm. ( no pun intended :)

Key Lime Pie


My Key Lime Pie


I found a new recipe that my whole family LOVES! It comes from the back of this bottle:

Nellie & Joe's Famous Lime Juice


Nellie & Joe's Key Lime Pie
  • 9" graham cracker pie crust
  • 14 oz. can of sweetened condensed milk
  • 3 egg yolks (whites not used)
  • ½ cup Nellie & Joe's Key West Lime Juice
Combine milk, egg yolks and lime juice. Blend until smooth. Pour filling into pie crust and bake at 350ยบ for 15 minutes. Allow to stand 10 minutes before refrigerating. Just before serving, top with freshly whipped cream, or meringue, and garnish with lime slices.

I like to add about a 1 teaspoon of lime zest because I like the extra zing.

So simple!


 









Korker Hair Bow


Today I am digging out all of my unfinished projects - well some of them, not all of them.  I found a pile of ribbons I had prepared for korkers last winter but had never completed.  I picked these colors to match one of my daughter's outfits.  Korker bows are surprisingly easy to make and look quite festive!

Here is a simple, but extremely comfortable flip flop that I embellished today for a friend of mine.  The flip flop is bronze and the crystals are Capri Blue
It looks really nice together - good choice!

Frills and Fluff

My daughter is such a GIRLY girl! She loves anything frilly, fluffy and furry. So of course, she wanted a tutu.   After all, it makes twirling and dancing so much more fun!


So last night was the night to create her tutu with the colors she picked out - pink, purple and green. I gave it lots of delicate ribbons and attached lots of little roses on it since she loves her middle name soo much. ROSE.


This tutu is not made with elastic, but with a long 1 1/2 inch wide ribbon that I can just tie around her.  This makes it much easier for me to help her to get it on rather than fighting with the frills while pulling the elastic up to her waist.


(You can see her shorts in the back - her tie needed to be tightened.  It does cover all of her :)
