Brown Sugar Pound Cupcakes with Brown butter frosting

I got a Martha Steward Living magazine to enjoy while in San Francisco. One of the articles was about cupcakes. Decadent cupcakes. Not one of the recipes calls for less than 2 sticks of butter in the cupcake alone, not to mention more for the frosing.

I could not resist making these, though I gave them away as fast as I could so I wouldn't consume them all. They were as delicious and evil as you would suspect.

Mine did not turn out cute, though they were tasty. So I stole Martha's picture.

Fishy valentines

The girls both made these fish for their valentines this year. They turned out so cute. We found the idea on familyfun.com

Baby shower invitation

This in one of the baby shower invites I made for a recent shower.

simple valentines

I *love* Valentines Day! I love pink and hearts, etc. I love to make valentines and always have. Here are some I made this year.

silk screened grocery bags (not my creation)

My friends, the Searcy's sent us these bags for Christmas. They are so cool and super handy. They have already been used for many things, and will continue to be very useful. I just thought they were so great (and had told some people about them) so wanted to show them off here.

crocheted robots

I found this pattern from a Etsy site that Jen sent me. Liam loves robots and I couldn't resist this little guy. Liam named him David, which is the funniest robot name ever! The girls loved David so much that they begged me to make them one.

This is Lydia's robot, Belle. Lydia chose the colors. I think it is funny that it turned out looking like she is wearing bikini bottoms, and she has the faint outline of a chest (not intentional).
