Pinterest Picks of the Week 9/22

It has been another great week on Pinterest.  I am amazed at all the wonderful things I can find on there.  I used to follow over 100 blogs, but I just don't have the time to keep up with them.  Pinterest helps me find the best of the best!
Love this jacket, I think my sweet Anna would look precious in this for the winter!  I need to get the pattern.

Banana Bread

The smell of Banana Bread baking in the oven is a childhood favorite of mine.  Now, I am bringing that same love of Banana Bread to my kids.  If you have notice from my Sourdough Bread and Zucchini Bread recipes, I like bread, especially if it is melt in your mouth goodness.

My Mom has made this recipe for as long as I can remember.  She makes it anytime our whole family is together.  The recipes makes two loaves and both will disappear as quickly as you make it.  My poor mother didn't have a chance to let the loaves fully cool before us kids took a piece or two.

Jack O Lanterns in a Jar... A Brilliant Idea

The drop in temperature has gotten me all excited about Fall.  I need inspiration for new Fall projects.  As I was cruising different blogs, looking for great ideas, I came across something absolutely adorable. Ashleigh, from Bee In Our Bonnet guest posted on eighteen25. This is what she made:

It's a Jack-o-Lantern in a jar.
She used various cookie cutters to create these great shapes.
She got Halloween inspired icing colors.
She decorated the cookies amazingly well.
She used orange paper plates to create the most amazing Jack-o-lanterns!
Don't you think these make the greatest gifts?  Ashleigh's label is printable from her blog.

I don't know if I'm patient or talented enough to decorate as well as Ashleigh, but I'm pretty sure my girls will think this is a great project.  I'm so glad they shared it with us!

Stay tuned, we plan to share many more of our favorite finds with you!

Elmo & Cookie Monster Hats

Back in the spring, I worked up an Elmo hat for Ryan and Evan.  They love their hats.  My sister saw the hat and knew that my nephew would like one.  He loves Elmo!

After  a few months now, my sister has proven to be great advertising as she sent me an order for an Elmo hat and now a Cookie Monster hat.  I am always up for trying new things so I tried out the Cookie Monster hat for this order.

I love these cute hats.  I guess I need to try out some of the other Sesame Street characters as well.  These hats will be in our etsy store very soon!  Shannon and I have a goal to get our etsy store open as soon as possible, October 1 at the latest!  (If I put it in writing, I have to do it, right?)

Pinterest Picks of the Week 9/15

Enjoy my favorite pins from Pinterest this week!  Click on the picture for more details.

This is pure genius!  I wouldn't use this for scrapbooking but for my recipes or my crochet patterns.  Who knew a paper towel holder could be so versatile!
Yum Yum Yum!  Peanut Butter Cheese ball.  I must try this soon!

I love Dear Lillie's pillows and this is one I think I will need to make.  What a simple pillow that is just beautiful!

Y'all know I love Candy Corn of any kind!


Make Dave Ramsey proud and make your own cash envelope system!

Cheesy Bacon Pull Aparts.  Oh my goodness!

I love all the great quotes that you can find on Pinterest.  Many are very encouraging and some are just downright hilarious!

A scarf that I love.  I can't wait to make it and the pattern is free!

I love it when blogs share their favorite fonts.  I don't think my 580 fonts is enough yet!




I still have lots of invitations to Pinterest if you are interested!  Just email me  oursevendwarfs@gmail.com

Happy Pinning!

Banana, Pineapple, Coconut, Whole Wheat Muffins


Once again, I had a challenge.  My daughter's Assistant Teacher's birthday was less than a week after my daughter's birthday.  I had to come up with another healthy treat to celebrate her birthday.  I came up with a delicious recipe!  It was made with no added sugar too! Here's the recipe I created:

Pray Picture Frame Tutorial

The other day while browsing Pinterest, I found a great metal board that had "Pray" on it.  I loved the idea so I decided to come up with something similar that used up some of my on hand items.  Here is what I made.
