Hey, Over Here

My many obsessions.

I made Messy Bun Hats for my nieces. The hole at the top allows you to pull a ponytail through and put it in a bun while still keeping warm. #crochet #yarn #hat #beanie #handmade

I made these baby booties for my neighbor. I always love making baby booties because they are so adorable and because babies!! #crochet #baby #booties #handmade

So y'all know I'm working with a budget, so most of the books I read are from the library. I am way down the wait list for The Curse of Tenth Grave, the newest in the Charley Davidson series by Darynda Jones, so I am re-reading some books from earlier in the series. Right now I'm reading this one, and all I can say is Reyes! #CharleyDavidson #Reyes

Homemade pizza baked in an iron skillet is awesome! It is in no way healthy, but in every way delicious. I made the dough in my breadmaker, which has been one of the best birthday presents I've received. #pizza #baking #homemade #breadmachine #delicious

Homemade blueberry cobbler with vanilla bean ice cream. It is like heaven in my mouth. I used the peach cobbler recipe I used earlier and just replaced the can of peaches with 2 cups of blueberries simmered with a cup of sugar and a cup of water. It is delicious and I definitely want to make it again. #homemade #baking #blueberry #icecream

So I have arthritis, and my wrists have been hurting a lot lately. A heating pad usually helps with my pain in other joints, but it's hard to wrap a heating pad around your wrist and use your hands, so I made these wrist warmers. They are open around the palm, so my palm isn't all sweaty, but my wrists are warm thus helping with the pain. The pattern I used is called Dashwood Wrist Warmers and is inspired by Jane Austen.

So I tried my hand at biscuits. They are drop biscuits instead of the kind you roll out and cut out, so they were pretty easy. They are more golden on top than they appear in the pic. They are very soft on the inside. My Mom would be proud because she always used canned biscuits because her homemade ones could be used as baseballs. Lol. #biscuits #baking #jam #homemade #ImTrying

This is my first attempt at peach cobbler. The recipe was really simple so I thought I could pull it off. It is delicious and I plan on making it again. #baking #cobbler #peaches #homemade

I found a recipe for homemade vanilla wafers in a pie cookbook and decided to make some. They don't look like the store bought wafers, but they taste like them. Delicious! I really want to make some banana pudding using these now. #cookies #baking #homemade #vanilla

It's Taco Tuesday! My sister gave me these taco plates that have slots in them so the tacos will stand up. It makes eating tacos even more fun. #tacos #tacotuesday

Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms!! A big hug to my Mama in heaven. Also, tomorrow is her birthday, so Happy Birthday to her, as well. This is a picture of my Mama and me in our senior portraits. Mama's is the black and white one on the left and I'm on the right, for those that can't tell us apart. Lol. I love and miss her so much. #mothersday #seniorpictures #mama

This little fella was a gift from my Mama to me when I was 8 years old. She bought him from a dollar store in downtown Troy, AL. He was hanging on a necklace and I just had to have him. I have kept him all these years because I love him so much. It is my plan to have him tattooed on the front of my shoulder above my heart someday. I just wanted to share one of the many things my Mama gave me that I treasure. #bee #childhood #mothersday

Happy Siblings Day to my big sister, @paulamomtahan . This pic is known in my family as "the mad as hell" picture. I was screaming mad because I wanted to take the pic by myself, but Mama only had enough money for one pic. Paula is doing what she has done since the day I was born, endure. I love you, Paula!

So I made cinnamon rolls yesterday. I made the dough with my breadmaker. Cinnamon rolls are hard work, but so delicious. They aren't perfect, but they are very tasty. I plan on making them again. #baking #cinnamonrolls #cinnamon #homemade #sugarhigh #breadmachine

I made garlic cheesy bread with my breadmaker, and it is delicious. It's perfect with pasta. I will definitely make it again. #garlic #bread #cheese #breadmachine
