Making Yummy Noises...

 Yesterday began with a nice, heartwarming brunch for two...Handsome & me.
I wanted to make something I hadn't tried before, along with an old favorite.

We both love Hopple Popple (I shared the recipe with you here), so that dish
was a given for our Father's Day meal. We also had a fruit salad on the side,
with a chaser of real Florida orange juice. But, the new dish was a real hit!
 I tried The Pioneer Woman's recipe for "Cinnamon Toast - The Right Way". Wow! 
We raved about this recipe, but agreed that it was never meant to be an "everyday" 
treat. It had just the right amount of everything and was so delicious, it was almost 
like candy.  Ree Drummond (The Pioneer Woman herself) always hits a homerun!

If you want to try this recipe yourself, this is the link.
Just so you know, the recipe calls for 16 pieces of bread. We used 3 and I cut the
recipe appropriately. Good thing I did, too, 'cuz we might have eaten it all otherwise!
 One more thing today...
 When I went to Craftsy yesterday, I had a great little surprise.
Seems that "Harris" was trending on Craftsy yesterday.
Isn't that saaa-weeet?

Tag can't wait to see you tomorrow. Have a great Monday!

Introducing "Harris"...


 Ta Daaaa!
I finally finished my pattern project and I can now introduce
"Harris" The Tweed Rabbit 
to you. "Harris" is a very debonaire and useful pincushion.

After all those bunnies were made and sold for my blog BFF, Shell May
at the Raspberry Rabbits, requests started pouring into the Bunnyville for
a pattern. It took me a little while, but I finally created "Harris", took
step-by-step photographs and then wrote the pattern.
 Just like the whole hutch-full of bunnies I created before,
"Harris" has a pocket to hold your scissors, and a cute poofy tail.
(He stands 5" tall x 3" wide at the base, but is 7" tall with upright ears.)
So now, you can purchase a pattern, choose your favorite fabrics
and make your very own, little bunny pincushion!

Careful now! Just like real bunnies, you'll have them 
running all over your sewing room before you know it!

A special thanks to Shell for the kick-in-the-pants I needed to do this!
