Damask Designs

I have been making boat loads of new yummy soaps for my etsy shop! So that means I have lots of new labels to design for each scent. So this is what I have been doing all day. Its a perfect day to sit inside and design and not have to work outside in the heat! (I put off the task of planting the next round of sunflower seeds in the field for tomorrow.)


Even though I have so many new soaps coming out I still manage to get my hands on over 40 new scents that I just had to have! Electrician man says I need to be stopped but when I use the excuse "Be happy I didn't buy more shoes" the complaints go away.  : ) 

oh btw I really need one of these. ♥ 

Have a Lovely Day!

Hair Inspiration

I'm doing a quick re-dying of my hair this morning just to hide the blonde steaks that have appeared due to working away planting flowers in the sun. I always forget to wear a hat! So I thought I would put up some hair inspiration.

 The purple I come up with today will probably be a pastel. It's only for the weekend because I will be on my mini getaway to Niagara Falls with the electrician dude. He is taking me there for the first time! ♥ 

Next week when I have more time I will properly bleach my roots and get back to that deep purple that I am so very smitten with! This week has just been crazy. 

Also here was my first seasons harvest of Black Eyed Susans. Took these beauties to the market this week and I sold every stem! : ) 

Have a lovely day! ♥

Cream Cheese Pinwheels

So I will admit, I am not Julia Child. (Small sad Violin plays) I have a handful of awesome recipes and then after that comes instant rice and homestyle mac & cheese. : ) When I make something amazing I just have to share it! 
Now I will warn you now this recipe is def not going to help you if your trying to achieve the figure of a tooth pick, if that is what you want then stick to your lettuce and water. But if your happy with maintaining a nice tuckuss and thick & lovely thighs then enjoy! ♥ 


Things you will need 
1 Block of Cream Cheese ( I used Philadelphia ) 
1 Sweet Red Pepper
1 Cup of Sprinkle Parmesan Cheese  
1 Can of Pillsbury Crescent Rolls 


1.Soften up the Cheese Cheese so that it's mixable. 
2.Dice up the Sweet Red Pepper. For mine, I just cut all the sides off and cut it into strips and then used my little dicey push thingy to make the cute little squares. 
3.Once the Cream cheese is soft, put it in a mixing bowl and add the cheese and the diced red pepper. Mix it all together till its like a paste. 
4.Unroll the crescent roll dough on tin foil that is on a cookie pan. Leave the dough in a big flat sheet. 
5.Spread the Cream Cheese mix evenly onto the dough. 
6.Once you have it all spread on, take a pizza cutter and cut it into strips. 
7. Roll the strips into little spirals and space them out so they don't bump into each other while baking. 
8.Bake in the oven at 375 degrees for 10 -15 minutes. Not to long. You want them to be done in the middle and be golden brown but don't leave them so long that they burn on the bottom. 
9.Enjoy!!!! : ) 
PS. - After you have spread on the cream cheese DON'T roll the dough into a big spiral log then try and cut them into little pinwheels. Its ruins the shape of them. This is how I messed up the first time I tried to make these. 


Made them for our Fourth of July BBQ, 4 Batches were gone in an hour and a half. : ) 

While we are on the subject of food. I tried the Oreo Vanilla Bean Coolata from Dunkin Donuts, it's pure bliss! Sooooo Yummy! I don't really like their regular coolatas or the frozen hot chocolate because to me they have a funny after taste but this tastes nothing like that. Cookie-Goodness! Also the Oreo Cream Donut is amazing but to get one you have to be up super early because around here they have been selling out, Luckily I have an electrician man who works an opposite shift some nights/early mornings and picks one up for me right as DD is opening and he is on the way home. ♥ 

(Pardon the unpolished nail. My Sally Hansen Nail Stickers were no match for paint thinner! Nail beauty must be sacrificed to remodel the mini house! ) 

Have a Lovely Day!

Starry Eyed Bowtique

I have fallen in love with a big cartel store I came across today called Starry Eyed Bowtique! I found three bows that I must have right away! ( of course they are all purple : D ) The store is amazing. Not only are the bows fun to look at but the models are awesome, all with crazy hair like mine and detailed make up. The prices of the bows are also reasonable. They have all different sizes. The ones I have my current sights on are all small bows  but they do have a very huge purple one I wouldn't mind owning. hehehe 





Have a lovely day! ♥
