Texas Crunch.


If there's one thing I learned from living with Roomie for three years, its how to bake. She used to make this dessert that we would literally sit on the couch and eat a tray of called Texas Crunch. Seemed like an appropriate thing to make to break in the new oven. 

Basically it's made of 5 ingredients.

1 Pack of Saltine Crackers
1 Cup Brown Sugar
1 Stick of Butter
1 Cup of Chocolate Chips (or 2 if you're me)
1 Cup of Butterscotch Chips 

I actually used up all of Mummy's old bags of Chocolate chips so there's dark, milk, white, and butterscotch in there... extra yummy.

1. Melt the butter and sugar in a bowl in the microwave until butter is melted and hot.
2. Lay Saltine crackers on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper.
3. Pour the hot butter and sugar combo over the crackers. 
4. Heat oven to 350 degrees and put the Saltine crackers in for 10 minutes.
5. This step has to be done straight away. Right when the crackers come out of the oven, pour the chips over the crackers and let them sit and melt.
6. Now walk away and give them about ten minutes to sit and melt.
7. Spread the melted chips over the crackers and put the whole tray in the fridge to cool.
8. After cooling a couple hours you can take the tray out and break the crackers up into small pieces to eat... my favorite part.








You won't regret making this, trust me.

Deep Diamond Tufting.

I'm not sure why I wanted to make a tufted headboard. Maybe I saw one in a film or something but before too long I was combing through every tutorial or YouTube video I could find about it. That was a year ago. So this weekend I put my big girl panties on and summoned the courage to finally build my headboard. My favorite tutorials found  here , and here . Mine certainly won't be as good as theirs so I'll keep it brief. I think my total for all materials came to around $85 but then again my math is horrible so...  Make sure you take advantage of JoAnn's incredible sales. I think I saved $60 dollars when I went. I scored on my fabric too, only $9 a yard.  The most annoying part of this process, as all blogs stated, was the buttons. And I'd have to agree with them. They were so small. The fabric was so thick. The little tool that pushes the button together sucks so... with Mummy's help, my solution was pliers. Just use pliers. It will save your finger...

The Paint'n Place.

During my recent trip to Bowling Green, KY I was fortunate enough to stop in on The Paint'n Place.  (<<check out their website) During my three years at WKU I spent almost all three working at this lovely pottery painting studio. It's one of a kind in BG and the staff here really became family to me when mine were so far away. It's such a cute happy studio with so many amazing pieces to paint. I was honored to see a lot of my samples still up on the shelves, and it brought back many fond memories. They do birthday parties, ladies nights, canvas painting parties, custom painted pieces, and new glass fusion! It's all seriously cool. My favorite thing about The Paint'n Place is the fact that everything you paint is so personal to you and makes something like a mug or a plate so special and unique. Of course I couldn't go in and not paint something, but I can't show you since its a gift for a special bride to be. Mrs. Linda Henry has put so muc...

Little Bit Of Everything

[Heads up: This post is long. I thought I'd cram about two weeks into one post.] Dry wall went up in the bathroom against our closet wall. We then had to do something with the bathroom arrangement. Because of where the big window was on the exterior wall, it made it really difficult to fit any normal sized bathroom fixtures in the space. I really wanted the natural light, but in the end, it was gonna make everything else really awkward and we would have to spend more money moving the plumbing. So we took out the window. Looking back on it, I think we made a really good decision because we saved a ton of money. Cody, Casey's brother, came over to help with drywall and taught me how to use Mud to fill the spaces and cover up the screws. I did most of the bathroom wall. By far my favorite job on the house! To me it felt like clay, which is probably why I loved it so much. On a side note: you can see from these first few pictures, the beautiful original glass door knobs...
