I'm back at it again!

triple rosette/ribbon bracelet

So I'm back at the craft thing. A friend asked me to show her how to make a rosette... so when I sat down to do so... I ran away with it again! This is the bracelet I decided to make to go with the outfit I have pictured in my head to wear to church tomorrow! (Can you say run-on sentence?)

AND, I've been looking for a runner (rug) to go behind my couch in a high-traffic area. The ones I find that I like are more than I want to spend. Soooooo, I decided to make one! I am making larger size rosettes out of multiple materials to match my motif! It's going to take me some time... but I'm so excited to get it done and show it off! I will post pics when I'm done!!

My latest new find...... Pinterest! OMG..... it's a DIY heaven!!! More projects to come, I'm sure!

Later Gator!

Tall? Grande? Viente? You pick!

step one: take a pound of ground coffee (i used 8 o'clock bean).
dump it into a huge container. big enough to hold two gallons of water and then a bit.
add two gallons of water. mix it around to get all the grounds wet. cover.
walk away until the next day.

the next day (at least 8-10 hours later) strain the coffee mixture through a strainer and paper towels or cheesecloth. (look Q i bought paper towels!!! only because they didn't have cheesecloth).
this will get out all the grounds.
if you used the same container to steep and store...wash it good before putting the coffee concentrate back in there.

put in the fridge.
leave it alone until it is frosty cold and you are sweating buckets.

Then fill cup with ice to the top green line and then coffee concentrate to that line too.
then added a fun creamer selection...this one was caramel macciato.
delish. perfect. wonderful. awesome. did not need to add sugar or anything else.
it went down WAYYYYYY too easy.

iced VIA from starbucks costs $6 for six servings.
this cost me about around the same amount for ten times the servings.
and i love it more than the VIA. and you know how much i love my starbucks.

Thank you pioneer woman  via
   little bit funky!!

Will you take $10?

Had my first garage sale....EVER.  Man, they're a lot of work! A lot of time, a lot of sore muscles from all the moving around of tubs/organizing, a lot of reminiscing while going through my boys baby clothes (ok that took the most time), and a lot of people trying to get an even better deal on what you're already giving! But mostly.... every one was pretty cool and pretty fair! So, not a bad experience... just a busy one! So.... we're doing it again in 2 weeks! :)
