Recipe: Pumpkin Spiced Bars
It’s that time of year again – fall. The leaves fall, the air gives you a chill, and everything pumpkin comes out to play. This is a bit of a mash-up of some recipes – the pretzel bottom is from my deadly brownies and my crumble topping is from September’s skillet apple crumble. So – here is what you’ll need: Ingredients Bottom 3 cups of crushed pretzels 1 cup of melted butter 1/2 cup of sugar Pumpkin Mix 2 cups of pumpkin puree 1/2 cup…

Holiday Napkins
Thanksgiving is this weekend – at least in Canada! What a better time to buy some fun fabric and decorate your holiday table. Yesterday I found a new discount fabric store in Edmonton – and it’s huge! Score!! That’s where I found this fun wild fowl print. Perfect for Thanksgiving! Holiday Napkins So – a good sized napkin measures around 20×20. I get 4 napkins out of one meter (if it measures 45 inches wide). Be sure you’ve washed your fabric first! Set your serger…

Fruity Juicy
This juice packs a punch – perfect for a fresh start morning. All fruit with a bit of parsley…and ginger – I don’t think ginger is a fruit! Fruity Juicy Juice it up! A great thing about this juicer, you don’t need to cut the veggies or fruit up very much…saves time! This one was so good. The green apple and the lemon add some sourness to it…mmm. Green goodness.

More Pillows
It’s pillow time, again! About two months ago I had a tutorial on pillow covers – it was a house warming gift for my brother. My husband saw them before I shipped them out east and he loved them. Now, we had pillows on our own couch that I made, but they weren’t that great. It was the first time I tried using a zipper and I sort of failed. They worked for a while – about 8 months. The less than par pillows were…

Tutorial: Infinity Scarf
Infinity Scarf Love Fall? A scarf? Love an infinity scarf? This is for you!! Quick and easy infinity scarf you can make in 25-30 minutes (that is, if you take your time…) I got some jersey fabric in the bargain section of Fabricland. Each Meter was about 3 dollars. The solid grey is from my trip to LA last year – great fabric finds in the fashion district! One meter (and a bit…you need 40 inches, a meter is 39.4) makes two scarfs – as…

Recipe: Morning Juice
Morning Juice Juice! Fresh Juice! About a week ago I watched a documentary on the food we eat – how most of it is ‘food like products’. That sounds so gross. Eating well is important for our bodies, our health and our overall well being. We purchased our Omega juicer about 2 weeks ago and have used it every day since! The Omega is great because it does hard root vegetables like beets and sweet potatoes, yet is also able to do leafy greens like…
