Sewing: Pants to Shorts
About two years ago I need some black pants and it’s always difficult to find good ones that don’t fade for a good price. These Banana Republic ones were only 40$ each. I got two. Over the past year I’ve only worn them once (and one pair not at all). I don’t really wear them much anymore. So, why not turn one of them into shorts…easier and quicker than going shopping for some! Here we go – pants to shorts. What You Need pants scissors…

Sewing: Racerback Dress
So, about 2 weeks ago I was at a BBQ and this one girl had on this awesome racerback dress. I didn’t know her and she was busy with her two kids, so I didn’t want to intrude. Yes, lululemon. Drats.

Recipe: Banana Chocolate Chip Nut Muffins
Banana nut muffins are delicious – this time, I added in some chocolate chips. These banana chocolate chip nut muffins are so yummy. I started with my mom’s banana nut muffin recipe – it’s delicious all on it’s own. Oddly, though, here in Alberta I can’t get the tops as dark as she did in Ontario. Different oven, maybe. Different altitude or climate. Who knows. Either way, they taste just as good. Ingredients 1 cup of sugar stick of butter 2 large eggs 3 large…
