you asked fot it...vegan spinach dip

so we went over to joe and colleen's for food and drinks and christmas. so much fun. george. yeah. he's crazy. and totally awesome. seriously such a cutie. maddie played shy as usual, but i think she really enjpyed the whole day. i totally forgot my camera cartrige so sadly i have no pictures. i do however have videos! but...i have no idea how to get them on here. haha. hopefully my mom or someone will send me some pctures??

anyways, we brought food with us of course. matthew made hummas and i made spinach dip. i had a few inquiries about the vegan spinach dip so here ya go,

1 cup veganaise
2 cups (so one tub) tofutti sour cream
1 pkg. frozen spinach
1 pkg. knorr's veg. soup mix
3 cloves of garlic
1/4 cup chopped green onion

i can't remember where i got that recipe, but i made it for my baby shower too and so i had it saved on my computer from 2 years ago. the lasy 2 ingredients i just added 'cause i like them, so i guess they would be optional.

enjoy!

christmas eve morning...

santa came a day early, i think he heard that we were givin' out banana bread instead of cookies this year. of course we got no good pictures because there is no natural light at this time in the morning, but here's one funny shot for ya anyways...

look at that hair!!!

a gift for joe

so, we decided this year to try and give gifts that were mainly either re-used, re-cycled, or handmade. i drew my Uncle in the secret santa and i decided to make him some reusable grocery bags for part of his gift. in total there will be 1 big one and 2 smaller ones that fit inside (for those smaller grocery stops).

i just finished the bigger one. i still have to sew the handles on to the smaller ones, but they should be finished tonight.

a bit about them...they are different shades of blue. they are all made of cotton canvas and are fully lined. the little bicycle patch is from Earth's General Store on Whyte Ave. and is on all 3 of the bags.

i really wanted to make something for him that was a bit more personal and more stylish than the ones you can buy for a dollar at the store. i hope he likes them...

christmas mail!

so, weird....i got post on a Sunday! in fact, me and matthew combined got 3 christmas parcels today!! i imagine they must be working around the clock trying to get everything out before christmas. in amongst the parcels, i got a gift from Aera Cura! Turns out she got my name in the swap, which funny becuase i got hers!

there is chocolate (gone), chocolate coffee (can not wait to try this), gummy bracelets, a snowflake ornament, a gnome ornament (at least i think it's a gnome...), a candle, and....get this, homemade soap! it smells really good AND it has Sunlight's symbol in it! how cool is that!?! I am so excited to try it!
and of course, PONIES!

I love them all, but I am especially so ecstatic about Wiggles. I have wanted her for so long and she has always been such a pain to hunt down. and...this one is the best pony of them all....

CUSTOM PONYVILLE SUNLIGHT!!!!!! So awesome that she gets a picture all on her own. So sweet of AC to make her for me.

isn't everything fantastic! i can't wait to try out this soap.

the etsy shop!

i opened a shop today on etsy! i definitely won't have anything to list until the new year, but it's exciting just knowing that it's there. the store will have a healthy dose of both vintage and handmade items. it won't be long! keep checking in!

a couple dress commisions for sunnyb...

the bird dress.

the polka dot dress.

i just ordered the best fabric eva!

i am in LOVE with this fabric. i have so many plans for it. it will work perfectly for a secret project i want to do for a friend...it's doubtful, but i hope it gets here before christmas...

the rozen maiden's

for Aera Cura...

i got AC as my holiday swap partner and made her a few things to go in her gift. i figured i better take some pictures of these before i send her gift out.
