Do You Like Things Handmade?

I do! I miss handmade products!

There is a giveaway going on at Life in the Lost World. One winner will get a handmade table cloth from Dolma Fair Trade.

I happen to like this one:

Do You Like Scarves?

I do, especially handmade ones! My sister made me one years ago, and I wear it often!

New Age Mama is giving one away from Dolma - Fair Trade * Handmade.

Homemade Pudding Pops!

My mom gave me Popsicle molds that she used when I was a wee one. I'm sure they aren't BPA free, but I've been using them anyhow. If you do not have Popsicle molds, an alternative is Dixie Cups and wooden Popsicle sticks (found at any craft store). Pour in the molds, freeze most of the way and insert sticks before they are all the way frozen. Leave room for expansion.

Homemade Pudding Pops! 

Here's the recipe I found:

1 box of pudding (any flavor)
2 cups of skim milk

Here's the recipe I created:

1 box of pudding (any flavor, I used vanilla)
1 cup of skim milk
1 cup of soft tofu

Guess what? My boy's along with their two cousins did not complain about the tofu! They hate dislike tofu in cooked Asian dishes. I love that they are getting extra protein for their snack!

Here's another recipe I created:

1 box of pudding (Use any flavor. I used chocolate.)
1 1/2 cups of skim milk
1/2 cup mushed banana (You can microwave your banana's to make them ripe.)

They liked this version too. I imagine you can use any fruit.

I made extra juice this morning when we used our juicer. I poured it in the molds too! ;)

A Long Line of Artists

My Dad is an artist, my husband is an artist and I am an artist. I teach art, I design my blogs and I make what I call cookie art. Now our oldest son seems to be following along the path of being an art lover.

I love things that are handmade! It's the artist in me. I have memories of refinishing old furniture with my dad.

One store that has all kinds of handmade things is Novica. I'm totally in love with this site, and what it has to offer. Their drums, masks and furniture is so cool!
