Monday Munchies

Duh duh duh duh! (Imagine trumpets flaring, and royal, rich looking people standing around.)

it's Peanut butter play dough time!

I (yes, I) love to make and play with Peanut Butter Play dough. Seriously, it's peanut butter and play dough combined! Edible Play dough!

So before I babble on for too long, here's the recipe:

1 C. Creamy Peanut Butter

2 C. Powdered sugar (some recipes use dry milk, but this tastes SO much better!)

1/2 C. Honey

Then: Mix, mix, mix, mix, mix some more, make your children mix, and finally mix the mixture. (Have you ever said a word so many times it loses it's meaning? Well, that's what just happened to me!) Or you can use an electric mixer (like a kitchen aid thinger...)

Last: ENJOY!

Time to Share the Wealth

I thought sharing with you guys all the really cute bag patterns I've found will get me back into the crafting spirit... but maybe not.

First up...

And there's the Pleated Purse Pattern from My Spare Time

And some more:

A cute tote bag from J Caroline Creative
The Diana Hobo from Elizabeth Carrol

Well, good luck sorting through these patterns and I would love to know which of these are your favorite!

Wow... It's been awhile!

Hello all you! I'm back! Well, technically I was back on Saturday but haven't had any computer time since! That also means I haven't had any time to upload any photos, so I guess you don't get any pictures either... :)

And now, Introducing:

MONDAY MUNCHIES!!!

Disclaimer: This picture isn't todays recipe. I'm sorry, and yes I DO know that they look delicious.


A new part of the Pattern Impossible blog family. Every Monday I'll have a new recipe, from the web, or a family tradition, or somewhere. Maybe I'll even make it up on the spot. BUT! Let me warn you now... it will not taste good unless a miracle is involved. So we'll stick to pre-made recipes. :)

Well, todays is over at The Thrifty Chick blog. This recipe looks delicious. (Notice how I say looks not is... I haven't tried it yet.) But maybe I will. Tonight looks pretty free.

I'm not feeling very crafty lately though, as I bet you can tell. When you feel that way, how do you get back into the mood? I really need help. My sewing machine hasn't been touched in weeks. Pathetic, I know. :(

Well, I will see you tomorrow or next week or whenever I feel like it, so until then, Enjoy your LIfe!

Is it just me...

or does anyone else wish they lived in the time of barn-raising, greased pig wrangling, small town living, Little House on the Prairie time period?

WARNING: In case you haven't guessed by now, this isn't a craft related post

Maybe it's just Reading too many Marcia Lynn McClure romances (oh gosh, how I love those books!) or watching too many reruns of Little House while sewing, or even visiting the Bar J Wranglers (I'm talking laugh your head off funny) but oh how I wish I lived then!

And those cowboys! Stop me now!


(Yeah, I know that's John Wayne, but boy does he make one good cowboy!)



Now, I'll go back to dreaming, and you can surf some more blogs, but hey! I got you thinking about it, huh?
