S'mores Galore!

Since we have been camping a lot this summer I've been in search of good/different/interesting/unique s'more recipes. I know it sounds strange, what can you do differently with graham crackers, chocolate and marshmallows, but I am determined!

Beer Marshmallow S'mores via How Sweet It Is

Campfire Cookies via Keep It Simple Foods

So I thought I found a pretty good list of options and then I stumbled across Gotta Have S'more -- seriously a bakery dedicated to s'more muffins?! If only I lived closer ...

mason jars ... who knew?!

Who knew Mason jars could be so versatile? I've been seeing more and more people using them for everyday or special occasions. I recently used one for A's birthday as a fairy wand holder and thought it turned out cute. Then I came across 10 Things to Do with Mason Jars. There are some super cute ideas! Below are a couple of my favorite ideas.

Some additional cute ideas were found at the ediTORIal website. And a few more practical ideas are available on the Budget Wise Home blog. Enjoy!

Bathroom Redesign

Ok so it's more like designing for the first time. We have lived in our current home for almost a year and a half, but we have yet to decorate the downstairs bathroom. (Hey, I've been busy!) While coming home from our trip to North Carolina my DH and I discussed what we wanted to do. So now I'm ready, I know what I want ... the only problem is I need time and money to get it done! Here's some of the inspiration I've found.

This is the color of blue we want with white accents [source]

I like the base of this vanity, but not the counter portion [source]

I like these lights, maybe one on each side of the mirror [source]

I like the scroll work mirror, not sure if I could actually DIY-it [source]

Top Finished!

I got my quilt top finished last week. I started my strip quilt a few weeks ago and was happy to finish up the top. Now the question is ... when will I have a finished quilt? I have a feeling it is going to be awhile, but if I finish by Christmas I'd be happy!

I'm standing on the bed trying to get the whole thing in the picture -- at this point A walks in and asks "Mommy why are you jumping on the bed?"

Standing at the end of the quilt trying to get a good shot -- you can really tell it needs some ironing!

Linking up to Thirty Handmade Days 

Jealous ... very jealous!

I wish I was a good photographer. I wish I could take awesome pictures and then use some fancy computer program to make them look even better. I came across S.S.C Photography and some of their photos are simply amazing. Here are some of my favorites.

 

HOT, HOT, HOT

Today is the 5th day in a row that temperatures have surpassed 90* and it's not looking any better for awhile. I'm looking forward to Monday because it will be 89*. Wahoo! Ok, I obviously need to find something else to amuse myself with, but it is just too hot.
