Brief Bits

Here's a quick round-up of what I've found on the web recently that got my creative juices flowin':

1.  From The Adventures of One Crazy Lady - Buttoned Monogram Pillow
When Connor's a little older and I don't have to worry about him wanting to pop off one of these buttons to eat it, I'd love to make one of these - such a CUTE idea!

2.  From Tidy Mom - Homemade Pizza Rolls
One of Brian's food groups is pizza, and we already know that Connor loves it too.  These little rolls look pretty tasty - I'm going to have to give them a try.

3.  From 33 Shades of Green - Tissue Paper Flower
LOVE this idea!  Such a pretty alternative to those boring bows from a bag.

4.  From Kevin and Amanda - Cookies 'N Cream Oreo Fudge Brownies
She had me at OREO!  These look divine.

5.  From Under the Table and Dreaming - DIY Drawer Organizers
The plastic utensil organizers you buy at the store are not always one-size-fits-all.  This tutorial shows you how you can subdivide your drawers on your own, depending on your needs... and makes it look easy!

6.  From Just Cook Already - Strawberry Bread
My mother instilled in me a love of quick breads.  This little number is made with frozen strawberries, so you can enjoy it any time of the year.  Definitely will be trying out this yummy-looking recipe!

7.  From Prudent Baby - DIY Tissue Garland
This is a fun little idea to dress up your next party, instead of using tired-old crepe paper streamers.  So cute!

8.  From Ohdeedoh - Make your own clouds
LOVE this idea to make hanging clouds out of quilt batting.  So simple and sweet - they'd be perfect in a nursery.

9.  From Just Another Day in Paradise - Best Ever Red Potatoes
Sadly, potatoes could be one of my food groups.  :)  So yes, I will be trying these out.  I really like that you prepare and begin baking them whole (little prep work) 2 hours prior to done time.  Being able to spread out my preparations means that dinner comes together on time and a little more smoothly.

10.  From Oops! I Craft My Pants - Caramel Popcorn
This recipe calls for just 4 ingredients, a microwave and corn popper, and a few minutes of time.  Looks delicious!  Caramel popcorn just tastes like fall to me.

11.  From Tasty Kitchen - Butter Chicken
I'm not a huge connoisseur of Indian food, but this recipe looks yummy enough to try.  I'll have to go spice shopping, but that's never stopped me before from trying something new.

12.  From The KID Collective - Free Playlists
I love new music, especially by indie bands.  I discovered the free, downloadable playlists offered on this blog a few months ago, and they're some of the most played tracks on my iTunes.  Check it out!

13.  From I Am Momma, Hear Me Roar! - The What's Up Weekly Board
Such a cute idea to help your little one understand when something is coming up.  She even offers the little icons to make your own activity magnets as a free download.  So clever!

So, there you have it... 13 great finds. I hope something here inspires you, too!
