Just in time for BACK-TO-SCHOOL ... the most adorable Crayon Roll ever! I recently came across this idea and fell in love with it. I haven’t had the time to make one for my twins yet, but I will very soon.
In the meantime, here's a TUTORIAL, so you can get started on your Crayon Roll. Isn’t it perfect for school, church, in the car, or at Grandma’s house? I think so! A definite must-have for any mommy with kiddos that love to color!

For this project you will need:

1 – 5 X 16 1/2 inch piece of fabric for the outside1 – 5 X 16 1/2 inch piece of fabric the the inside
1 – 6 X 16 1/2 inch piece of fabric folded lenghtwise and pressed for the pocket
ric rac (if desired)1 – 5 X 16 1/2 piece of iron on vinyl1 Cord Stop

Iron on the vinyl to the right side of your lining piece following package directions.

Place pocket piece ontop of right side of lining. Starting 1 1/4 inches over from the edge, stitch from top of pocket (back stitch at top) to bottom. Then stitch every 1 inch. You should have 1 1/4 inches left on the other end.

If using ric rac pin it around the edges, overlap at bottom. I use fray check to keep ends from unraveling.

Place outside piece ontop of pocket and lining, right sides together. Place a 20″ piece of cord (folded in half) in the middle on the right side. Ends of cord go towards the center.

Sew all the way around 1/4 inch from the edge. Leave a 2-3 inch opening at the TOP.

Clip corners and turn. Press (don’t press vinyl with bare hot iron), making sure to press opening to the inside. Pin opening shut and then top stitch all the way around very close to the edge (making sure you sew all layers of the opening shut.)

Squeeze the Cord Stop and thread both ends of the cording through the center hole (have patience, thread ends one at a time). Tie the ends of the cording together into a knot. I placed a drop of glue in the knot to keep it secure and then put fray check on the ends.

VOILA ... now your finished!

Bathing "Moose" our Guinea Pig

Today is going to be a very eventful day, as our Guinea Pig "Moose" is getting his first bath ever! For some reason Moose started getting the itchies earlier this week, so I called a vet, only to find out that Guinea Pigs get mites and lice too. After a little neem extract, tea tree, and jajoba oil treatment, Lil' Moose is finally ready for his bath. The only problem is, Moose got a new cage last week, so he likes to hide in his new home comfort. Wish us luck trying to catch him:-)


On a different note, the kids and I are also having Homemade Macaroni & Cheese for lunch. So, I thought I'd share this delightful recipe. The actually recipe comes from a reliable source (not me), so it's edible and safe enough for BON APPETITE -- not to mention it's delicious! Try this recipe and let me know what you think.

Here’s What you Will Need:

1 lb. Macaroni or other pasta, cooked

1 lb. Cheddar Cheese, grated

1 lb. Cottage Cheese

8 oz Sour Cream

1 Egg, beaten

Salt and Pepper, to taste

Paprika, to taste and for sprinkling on top

Italian Bread Crumbs

I knew that I didn’t have a 1lb. box of macaroni or that much cottage cheese or sour cream so while there are measurements I just used what I had and guessed.

#1 - First thing is to cook the macaroni noodles according to the directions on your package.

#2- Beat the egg really well in it’s own bowl

#3- After cooking your pasta you’ll of course want to drain it and then grab a large bowl to mix all of the ingredients with the pasta into.

#4- After mixing everything together place in a greased 9x13 casserole dish and sprinkle paprika on top. I also added some Italian Bread Crumbs sprinkled on the top (this wasn’t in the original recipe).

#5- Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes

#6- EAT AND ENJOY!! (We made this today, we plan to eat it for lunch and dinner!)
