Just a little pick me up for summer!

Here is a fun treat to kick those hot summer days up a notch.  Low effort and the yummy flavor  will keep calling you to drink some more.  We all need to drink lots of fluids and stay away from soda ( this is particularly difficult for me!  I am a diet coke addict!  Lol) to keep our bodies hydrated.  I started with country time lemonade made from concentrate.  I just followed the standard directions.  You can use your usual lemonade.  I usually use crystal light and that is very low calorie and I think it's my favorite flavor!  Then cut some fresh mint from my yard muddled it in the lemonade and poured a smudge of sugar free coconut syrup into each glass to taste.  Then added one more sprig of mint to my glass just for decoration.  It turned out so good.  I have also done muddled strawberries in my lemonade too!  The sky's the limit.  Try all the syrup favors they are a easy delightful addition to any fruity drink!  Hope you enjoy this summer time cool down as much as I do!  Leave some comments and let me know how yours turn out and what variations you try!  Thanks for stopping by my blog!  

I knew I'd need some energy for finishing up my studio so I made a yummy pie for an energy boost!

Easy as 1,2,3 

1.) Add 1 pkg whip topping , 1 can eagles brand condensed milk , and 1 can of minute made lime aid concentrate.  

2.) stir together

3.) put it in a graham cracker crust.

And it's ready to go!  So delicious!  Now you can just eat it as is. however, I chose to refrigerate mine and eat it later after it sets up a bit.  Leave me a note and let me know how you liked it of some fun differently tricks and variations you use.  

Tip..  You Can use light cool whip and light condensed milk as well for a lower calorie treat

Still working on my studio..

It's the 4th if July,  And my family  went camping to black foot Reservoir. My daughter is getting ready to move back to Logan so  I decided to stay back and help to move this weekend.. I thought what better way to take this time to  finish up my craft room - re do and get the house cleaned with no one here to be responsible for.  So here's a pic of my room this far..  I'll hopefully have some after pictures in the next few days..  

Moving right along! Re-do

My new cutting area...what do you think so far? So my craft room re- do has taken a step or two in the right direction!  So excited to see it coming together..  Here's one more quick pic of my progress

Working on the re-do

So I'm afraid this is moving pretty dang slow!  I'd love to spend day and night on it however,  my darling husband would not be so patient with me and we have lots of irons in the fire. We are headed out To country jam  in colorado this next week do i am trying to get all my clients in and taken care of .  and i need to her the trailor packed and ready! So here are a few a sneek peeks To hold you over! 

Craft room re-do

So I'm really excited. since I had to move my salon to my home, and that left all my crafts displaced, I decided to re-do a bedroom to my craft room.  My sis in law Terri came and visited and we threw together a make shift place in a spare room and oh what a mess!  We had crafts everywhere!  Things were constantly misplaced and we spent more time looking for project pieces more than we crafted!  So I'll post the befores and then stay tuned.. I'll post my afters.  

Sew much fun!

I had To share the adorable little bibs I made my grand children!   I am not a great pattern reader so I usually only sew when someone is here to talk me through a pattern step by step or I make my own.  My darling sister from Missouri , Terri wood came To visit with her daughters Nicole and Jami,  

we had a 4 day sewing marathon!  We had sew much fun!  They helped me through the first bib then I made a second and then figured I better do one for my baby grandson baby Graeson.  I decided to work my obsession for mustaches I have at the moment into a bib!  I couldn't be happier with the turn out!
