Baby Shoe Madness

I've always loved baby shoes, something about their itty bitty size. Here are a bunch from Etsy that I love.

Bijou Market

This looks like it could be a good boutique with lots of cute stuff. I'm planning on checking it out this weekend. Anyone want to join me? Click here to link to the website and check out some of the sellers. Pin It

Lunch Bag

Here's an insulated lunch bag I started months ago and finally finished. I love the fabric but the size is a tad small for me, since I pack a lunch big enough to feed an army most days. Probably the perfect size for most people though. The outside is vinyl for easy clean up, strap is long enough to carry on your arm (even with a coat on), inside is foil insulation (also easy cleaning).

Custom Car Seat Covers

More baby stuff.
I am happy with the car seat I bought, but if you aren't happy with how yours looks, check this out. This is such a fabulous solution! Your Car Seat Cover at Etsy makes custom covers for you. You pick your fabrics (I believe you buy them yourself) and she does the rest. Her shop is temporarily closed but will open again on June 30. Look through the Sold items (right column, half way down) to see some of what she's made.
For an extra review check out Dingbat Press. Pin It

Baby Dress

Here's a little dress I made for my baby girl. I actually used a real pattern, something kind of new to me. I am trying to educate myself more in sewing, so this was a step in that direction. Pin It

Another Bib

I know, I know, this has turned into a baby blog already! Hope you like baby stuff. Here's a bib I made for my sister's baby. On this one I used terrycloth on the back side and it was very easy to sew, not too bulky. If you'd like a bib for your little one, let me know! $10 per bib. You can even pick your own fabric if you want. Pin It

Weekly Recipe: Chicken Lime Chili

You may want to half the recipe, it makes a lot. I got this one from my friend E.G. years ago. It's a keeper in my book, obviously.photo via Eat Better America


Chicken Lime Chili

6 chicken breasts, cooked in 3-4 cans chicken broth (reserve broth after cooking). Cut into bite-sized pieces and add:
2 cloves garlic, diced
1 chopped onion
2 small cans green chilies
4 t cumin
2 12oz cans Shoepeg corn (sometimes a little hard to find, but use this kind if you can-it's smaller and sweeter)
4 cans Northwestern white beans (I think Great Northern beans can also be used)
2 limes, juiced (or more, according to taste)
5 c of the broth from the first step (or more if desired)

Easy and delicious.
