Well my sweet little darlings did something I've been fearing since I started crocheting....
They unraveled an entire blanket. That's right. An entire blanket I was nearly done with. Considering the baby I made said blanket for is due in one week, I am now rushing to finish!
I must admit I was not happy at first but it is technically my own fault for leaving it out. I am trying to look at it as an opportunity to improve my pattern!
I will post pictures and updates as they come.
Happy Crocheting!

Shell Stitch Baby Blanket
I'm a little more than halfway done with the pattern I created to make a baby blanket for my friend's soon to arrive bundle of joy!
It's a beautiful deep blue in color, since she's not a fan of typical baby colors, but it can be done in any color. It would look gorgeous in light colors as well!
I can't wait to show you all the finished project soon!
Hopefully my DH will get me the yarn I need to finish it, tonight! I'll be almost sad to finish it, though.
The pattern will be available to buy at my Etsy shop in a few weeks! :)
Until next time, Happy Crocheting!

Melt in Your Mouth Banana Bread
I made two huge loaves of banana bread a few months ago, and it was entirely gone within two days. You read that right, TWO days.. I don't have pictures, but it was some of the best banana bread I have ever had.
The recipe is as follows:
6 ripe bananas (you can use yellow but I prefer mine sweeter with brown spots for banana bread)
4 eggs
3 tbsp coconut oil
3/4 cup almond butter
5 tbsp melted butter
2 cups almond flour (or coconut flour if you prefer)
1 cup of brown sugar (or 1 cup honey, I didn't put honey in it this time because of my 12 month old)
2.5 tbsp cinnamon
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract (I use homemade, but you can use store bought as well)
sea salt to taste
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
Combine dry ingredients in a bowl.
In separate bowl combine banana, eggs, almond butter, coconut oil, and butter. Use standing mixer or hand mixer to blend well.
Add in dry ingredients slowly.
Blend it all together well, making sure the banana is well mixed.
Pour into a baking dish of your choice, I used 2 different sizes that also varied in depth.
Grease pan with coconut oil or butter. I baked for 35 minutes but some of you will need to bake it for 45 minutes to 50 minutes. Make sure it stays moist in the middle though, so take it out as soon as a toothpick comes out clean.
It melts in your mouth, and my whole family loved it. This is definitely one of our favorite recipes!

Apple Stamping
My daughter loves anything to do with crafts. She is definitely my little artist. A few months back we did apple stamping. My daughter thought it was the coolest thing ever. I had a blast too! Her beautiful pictures are hanging up in her room now and she kept saying a-a-a-apple the whole time. Also, she recognized the A hanging on her wall (wooden letters for her name)! I am so proud! :)
