Crafty Soiree #90: Color!

It's THAT time again... and I'm so happy to see you here! Thanks for joining us for A Crafty Soiree.

EEK! I'm overcome by cuteness of these Pom Pom Caterpillars by Jame aka Scattered Thoughts of a Crafty Mom. GREAT idea!

If you are ever looking for a HAPPY spot to find creative food ideas... stop on by The Seven Year Cottage. Hollie is simply amazing... she's always conjuring show-stopping treats like these May Flowers cupcakes.

Are you wild for washi? Fonda from Southern Scraps is... and she put that washi love to good use with these Washi Tape Gift Bag and Card projects.

OH YEAH! An MNM cake... actually a whole party. Katie from My Darling Days has some fantastic projects she's sharing from her neice's birthday. So clever!

Beautiful! This anthro-inspired bracelet created by Beverly from Flamingo Toes is simply divine!

Vintage YoT: Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream Cake

WOO HOO! We finally got some HOT weather in Seattle... time to bust out the ice cream (cake)!

Chocolate–Peanut Butter Ice Cream Cake Recipe

Recipe Ingredients

4 cups rice cereal (such as Rice Krispies)

6 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped

3/4 cup creamy peanut butter (not natural)

3 pints chocolate chip or other ice cream

Recipe Preparation

1. Place the cereal in a large bowl.

2. In a small saucepan, combine the chocolate and peanut butter. Cook over low heat, stirring, until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth, about 2 minutes.

3. Add the chocolate–peanut butter mixture to the cereal and mix to coat. Spread the cereal mixture onto the bottom and 1 1/2 in. up the sides of a 9-in. springform pan. Freeze until set, about 10 minutes.

4. Let the ice cream soften at room temperature just until spreadable, about 10 minutes. Spread ice cream evenly into the chilled crust and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours and up to 2 days.

Ruffles and Rust 2012: 7 Hot Trends in Vintage

Hi Pals... I hope you all had a wonderous Mother's Day! We had a nice morning with just us four and some heartwarming handmade gifts... and one luxurious store-bought one (thank you honey!)... then family brunch with my parents, mother-in-law, and my brother and his fam (including two wee cutie girl cousins).. then we got SLURPEES (what can I say... I heart 7-11) then I got to take a NAP on the couch... heaven!

BUT... rewind to Friday night. I was sick and lost my voice but not my my desire to SHOP VINTAGE at with my Mom one of my all-time favorite shows... Ruffles and Rust! After a few hours at R & R, I fell into a crumpled heap... clutching a mug of hot tea... but BEFORE...

The head honcho, Timi Weathers, was kind enough to let me in a bit early to snap some pix... I'm sure she knows I am "pre-shopping" at the same time! So here are the trends I spotted:

Vintage Trends

1. Crinoline and Lace

2. Garden Inspired

3. Light and White

4. Maps and Globes

5. Nautical

6. Suitcases

7. Tropical Brights

Wish you all could have been there with me! What are you collecting or hunting right now?

Thanks to Timi and Ruffles and Rust! If you can't wait till fall for the next R & R show... visit the Ruffles and Rust Square store in Snohomish, WA
