PEACH & PECAN VINAIGRETTE

While a Traditional French Vinaigrette is my MOST favorite.....sometimes it's fun to mix it up.  The idea for this came from a Whole Foods Newsletter, here is the link to their blog: HEALTHY SALAD DRESSINGS

::PEACH AND PECAN VINAIGRETTE::

2 Whole Peaches

1 Cup Raw Pecans

1/2 Cup Plain Rice Milk(more if you want it thinner)

1/4 Cup White Balsamic Vinegar(Champagne or Rice works fine also)

::DIRECTIONS::

Place all ingredients into a food processor and enjoy over your favorite greens.....We gobbled up a Baby Spinach Salad with Roasted Beets and Avocado.

LOVELY LADYBUGS

My most fabulous friend battled the two hour drive to come and see us last weekend....so what could make a better visiting-gift than a new apron?.... 

....and yes, again from Weekend Sewing because it has such easy to follow instructions, great photos and wonderful ideas(and I have to return it to the library next week :)

MARKET-RUN CHECKBOOK COVER

After two wonderful years, today was Tucker's last day of preschool at our MOST adored MOUNTAIN SCHOOL.

His MOST fabulous teachers will be dearly missed next year as we head to Kindergarten.  Some heart-felt-homemade gifts were crafted in an attempt to show some of our gratitude.

This pattern is from Weekend Sewing::more than 40 projects and ideas for inspired sewing, by Heather Ross. 

 This is a lovely book, full of inspiring patterns and ideas, as I may have mentioned previously.....happy creating!

THE NEW DRESS

This is not the first time that I have checked out this wonderful book from the library.....which often is an indicator that this particularly lovely book should be purchased.

This is the Smocked Sundress

This DRESS also transforms her into a really FAST race car.....

 

This pattern was simple and fun to make.  It only took a little over an hour, even with the double(and triple) checking of a first timer.

 

If said nicely, this caption would read.... ENOUGH PHOTOS!
