meet.make.wreaths.

Last Christmas, Cindy and I decided we would create the "oh so simple ornament wreath" seen all over the Pinterest boards. For us, it turned out to be a little bit of a Craft Fail, and landed in the trash after the holidays.

Please, don't be fooled by my photo editing techniques.
We shaped a metal coat hanger into a wreath/circle shape, then fastened ornaments along it. Note for future makers: 1. get more ball ornaments than you think you will need  2. shape your hanger wreath into a nice circle with pliers, not a flat pancake oval shape 3. patience.
While creating this post, Cindy informed me that she did not want to be affilated with her wreath, hence, no pictures.

This year I decided to tempt fate again and create the Yarn Wrapped Wreath, which again is seen all over the Pinterest boards and DIY blogs. The wreath is a classic necessary Christmas decoration that I really looking forward to making.

meet.make.salted caramel shortbread.

One of our new recipes for our annual baking weekend this year was inspired by this recipe for salted caramel shortbread. We were all really excited to try this out, because who doesn't love the combo of caramel and sea salt? 

meet.make.music: Christmas Edition

Getting ready in the a.m. - you bet we are jamming! Driving to and from work - the tunes are cranked. Sitting at work writing emails - the headphones are likely on.

Simply put - we LOVE music and are constantly sharing artists and songs with each other. So we decided to start a weekly music sharing series!

Every week, each of us will pick a song to share with all of you. Sometimes there will be a theme, and sometimes not.

Share our love of music with us and tell us your favorite song each week!

We wanted to kick off our baking weekend in style this year... what better way to do it then a Christmas-y cocktail?

Christmas is the perfect time to get your creative mind dancing. So many potential projects to make! Holiday goodies for yourself, friends, and family are always wonderful to create, but we decided this holiday season we wanted to do something for those who maybe needed a little extra cheer this year.

meet.make.crochet-along: granny square pillows.

 A month ago, the two of us decided to join in with The Curious Pug for her November crochet-a-long. The pattern for the month was a granny square pillow, and we were excited to tackle the project! 

Hayley's Granny Stripe Blanket

As Steph and I attempt to get through our Crochet-a-long November project, I've become inspired by Alycia of The Curious Pug to document one of my biggest projects to date!
While I have successfully crocheted a few baby blankets for dear friends, I haven't been brave enough to try the ominous task of a Queen sized blanket for my home. 

meet.make.white cranberry mimosa.

During Baking Weekend 2012, one of the things that kept us going throughout the day was a tasty, refreshing treat.... white cranberry mimosas! 

Happy Birthday Stephanie!!!

Happy Monday... but more importantly - HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO STEPHANIE!!!

We want to wish our wonderful friend a fabulous day full of sweet treats and surprises, and to take comfort in the fact that we are all getting old together :) We just got ID'ed the other day so we must be doing something right! 

Cheers to Stephanie for a fun and exciting year ahead! How about some DQ ice cream cake?!
