Lions and Tigers, and Rhinos! Oh My!

Now that it’s been gifted I can share this adorable jungle animal themed baby bedding set I made a while back. It’s a full set: quilt, fitted sheet, 2 pillowcases, and a top sheet, so it’ll grown with little Alexander from his crib to his toddler bed!

This was so much fun to do and I’m honored to be trusted with such a precious gift for my friends new grand baby!

Hey Houston friends! What did the "BE SOMEONE" grafitti mean to you?

I drove past it every morning when I worked downtown and it reminded me to be my own genuine self. To bring compassion, light, and positive energy to my day and to try to make a positive difference in someone else's life, in any small way I could. And at the same time it reminded me that while all the external happenings in the world are important, it's also incredibly important to care for myself. To take time to reflect, be thoughtful, and to do what I needed to do for myself so that I could be there for others when I needed to.

So, what does "BE SOMEONE" mean to you?

I know the grafitti's no longer there and won't be coming back, but I decided to make myself a patch for my bag so that I can still have that daily reminder. And then I made 3 more with different patterns in case you need one too. If you do, you can find them here and at the link in my profile. https://www.etsy.com/SDartsCO/listing/1054053690/

Take care of yourselves out there. Mask up, get vaccinated, keep washing those hands, and hold your loved ones close (even if you have to do that from a distance). Love you all! xoxo, K

I've gotta be honest here y'all, it's just too dang hot out there for this gal (and her baked goods) to be going to markets and sitting outside for hours at at time. I really want to be able to get y'all some tasty baked goods still, so there's only one thing to do! We're going to go back to the weekly order form and pick ups!

So…Who needs some cookies for the weekend?

This week we have:
Rainbow Lemon Crinkle Cookies
Peanut Butter Cookies
Brookies
Toffee Mini Scones
and breads!

Pickups will be at our house on Friday or Saturday, or at the Heights Target on Sawyer on Friday from 4-6pm and Saturday from 8-10am!

Order form: https://bit.ly/KK25June

I'd really love to hear from y'all about other times and areas of town you'd like us to do pickup spots! :)

An Etsy client asked me to digitize this for a mask, but then decided they didn’t want one. Well, I’m not one to let a fun design languish, so I’ve turned it into a patch that’s now listed in the Etsy shop.

I can see a whole line of tech theatre patches in my future and have lots of ideas, but what would YOU like to have on a patch or on a merit badge?

Come by the Curb Market Lower Heights today from noon until 5 to see Sarah and myself!!

Sarah with and I will be back at the Curb Market Lower Heights again tomorrow from noon - 5 and we hope to see you there!

In addition to some handmade jewelry and embroidered goods, I’ll have:
Garlic, Rosemary, and Parmesan bread
Lemon Crinkle Rainbow cookies
Chocolate chip Fudgy Brookies
And dad’s favorite Peanut Butter cookies.

Dad put me through the ringer coming up with this PB cookie recipe. He was quite the PB cookie connoisseur and must have sent me back to the cookie drawing board at least 10 times. His perfect cookie had to be soft in the middle, a little crunchy around the edges, not too flat, not too poofy, super peanut buttery, with a full coating of sugar on the outside (and a little extra sprinkled on top), and I couldn’t use any of that fancy “natural” peanut butter. It had to be good old Skippy Creamy. It took some doing, but he finally approved these and couldn’t get enough of them. I so wish I could bake him a batch today, but since I can’t, I’ll share them with you. The only difference between his cookies and these is that I used crunchy PB because I like those little chunks of peanut in there!

This weeks fun bake was these Odd Squad cupcakes for an awesome 4 year olds birthday! Bonus for being the best vanilla cake I’ve ever baked!
