High Waisted Skirt and S'More Bites

Hey it's Christmas time, and my little fingers have been hard at work, designing and crafting for loved ones all around. I have to say, Pintrest has been AMAZING in keeping my ideas down to earth and actually feasible. It doesn't help for the multiply of them though. I have to share the skirt that I made (with no pattern) and sorry, I can't give away the original photo or tutorial, since I don't hold the copyright to either.

And for those that love reading and eating (sometimes simultaneously) I made the easiest thing ever last night with some of my lady friends, and we ate every single one. They were that great.

S'More Bites

Using crescent rolls (prepackaged and unbaked), unroll on counter. At the wide end, sprinkle 5-6 choc chips and 3-4 mini marshmallows. Roll and bake according to directions. Try not to inhale all as soon as they come out of the oven. YUM!

Performance vs. Behind the scenes

When I was a child, all I wanted to do was to preform. My mother put me in dance lessons, and then after an bad injury a couple years into it, put me in music lessons. After six years on playing through all middle school and most of high school, I just stopped. I wasn't bad by any means, but I wasn't a rockstar. I just left to pursue being a teenager I guess. I don't even remember what my real reasoning was. I just quit. I question my decision now, but if I would have kept at it I might have missed something that I love now. I've come to realize in the last few years, how much better I like being behind the scenes. I can make the costumes, hang up the set, and run the music as long as I don't go up in front of anyone. It's funny, I don't think I would have ever realized how much more I love this, than if I would have left playing so long ago.

Lemoncello

I've been making lemoncello this week. Meyer lemon lemoncello. For those of you that don't know what lemoncello is, it's a wonderful spring/summer after dinner drink that is tangy and slightly sweet. My aunt home makes lemoncello and it is always incredible. I can't wait to try mine. Right now Costco has Meyer lemons in 2lbs for like 7$ which is a total steal. I made two batches, the tester has been infusing for a week, and the second just started today. I love it so much, I'll even share the recipe here. Lemoncello makes 2 batches (adapted from Bon Appitet) 2lbs Meyer Lemons 8 cups good vodka (at least 80 proof) 6 cups sugar (It is a good idea to use organic lemons for this because of the prolonged contact with the zest.) Peel lemons in long strips making sure to only get the yellow part not the gross white part. Combine the zest and the vodka into a bottle. (I just used the vodka bottle for this part). Infuse for 1-2 weeks at room temperature. Juice lemons, throw...
