How is everyone doing on this first Friday of March? After a few glorious warm days, the weather is chilly once again, which is to be expected. I am so glad we were able to get outside and enjoy the sun on those days. Now onto our favorites of the week!
Baked goods
I did a lot of baking this week! To start off with I made this chocolate peanut butter cake that was so good! I combined a few different recipes and was so happy with the results. It was very tasty as well.
I cut the dome part of the cake to make it flat, and couldn’t let it go to waste, so I made some cake pops. So tasty!
Then I had some brown bananas on the counter and decided to make a new recipe!
Crafting
I finally printed up some more stickers for my planner. I am using them for meal planning and recording my screen time. The pink banner stickers are dinner, and the the little dots are to record my total screen time, along with time on FB and on IG. Doing this has also made me want to create my own planner. While I love the one I have, there are different things I wish it had. I’m going to start recording my ideas, to see if what I have in my mind is feasible for next year. Basically I want a quasi bullet journal, that has some pre-determined pages in it.
I also started on the cowl I’ve been meaning to make. I am using the celtic weave stitch, which is a bit tricky at first, but once you get the hang of it, it goes pretty smoothly.
Finally, as part of Annabelle’s First Communion she has to decorate an alter square. I used infusible ink and my easy press to get the design (that Annabelle did, with some help from me) onto the square. She is then going to paint it. Everyone’s will be sewed together and then the whole cloth will be placed on the altar. I’m pretty excited, as I did one for my First Communion too (see it below.. obviously I had some help from my mom too…).
Another book down!
I finished Kiss my Cupcake and loved it. It is perhaps what inspired my chocolate peanut butter cake.
Visiting with my parents
On one of the nice days my parents came over to visit since we could be outside. It had been a while since I’ve seen them so it was nice to get together.
Overall it was a half way decent week. Although I’ve been doing this post in my office/craft room and all I see is the ginormous mess that I have to take care of. If only it could clean itself! Have a wonderful weekend friends! Catch you on Monday. 🙂
