I had plans to post this later, after going to see Meet the Robinsons...well, I'm home now. Wanna know why? My lovely child threw a fit screaming he wanted to go home and cried for the first 20 minutes! So I dragged him out of the theater. He was fine at first! He was excited to see the movie, loved watching the previews, then he went nuts-o and cried that he wanted to go home and he wanted me to cover his eyes and ears?? I just wasted $25!! If anyone sees it, let me know what's it's like for the remaining hour and 10 minutes...grr!
Ok, so the reason for this post! Here's what I sent my What's Cookin swap partner. Mind you the deadline was April 6th but she had it in her hands at the end of February because I didn't know how long I'd stay in Texas (plus I'm always REALLY early to send anyway). I was so excited to create for E and her momma! I love making things for little girls! Jerrett and I picked out the fabric an he suggested what we s hould make for them! Here's a bunch of pictures of what we sent!
The recipes:
doughnuts made from canned biscuit dough (my mom used to make these for me)
"dog food" (chocolate/peanut butter covered Chex cereal)
chewy chocolate chip cookies (a la alton brown)
chicken and rice-a-roni casserole
silly goo (found at DIY network)
All these recipes, plus a few blank cards, were put into a recipe "book" that I created from leftover fabric, ribbon, and binder rings...that way when E gets a little older she can write her own recipes down in her own book.
Placemat roll. You roll it up with the silverware inside.
Drawing paper, crayons, and a little matching tote to carry it all in.
Fleece bluebird softie that I made to match the little birdie in the fabric.
E sized headband from this pattern.
What it looked like all wrapped up and rady to mail! The paper was freezer paper...I forgot to mention to Crystal that it was freezer paper; when I did remember it was already in the recycle bin! Oops!
AND the most important part of this swap is the apron! I used this pattern using the striped fabric for the inside and the tree/bird print on the front. For some reason I can't find the picture I have of it...it's on my other computer and I'm too lazy to go get it...you can view the apron and the goodies here.
