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...

Animals For Days. [Part I]

  This is an extremely delayed post, but I wanted to wait until some of the pieces got fired so I could show you the finished results. These high school kids really blew me away with their creativity. All these pieces are made from two pinch pots so they are all completely hollow. The students came up with their own design for the animal and after I taught them how to create a hollow 'egg' shape they added all the features. I also couldn't get enough of all the minions. They were the cutest things. More pictures to follow.   K

The Stinnett's.

I absolutely loved taking photographs of the Stinnett family. There were certainly lots of laughs along the way, which made my job easier. A few melt downs (those trains will get you all the time), but nothing this sweet family couldn't recover from. They're such a fun, silly lot and it was my pleasure to capture some moments for them.  [All photos taken on the Canon Rebel T3i] For questions about sessions and pricing, message me on Facebook, or email at katie.e.hudson@gmail.com.
