Cochon 555 and some Craftiness

On Sunday, June 5, Jason and I went to Cochon 555 in San Francisco.  A contest of sorts to help family farms responsibly raising heritage breed pigs sustain and expand their businesses while educating communities nationwide about the tasty payoff of supporting these farmers. Here is some information on Cochon 555: http://www.cochon555.com/menu/mission/

So, in honor of the occasion I decided to make a shirt using my new Silhouette and a Cricut cartridge. Yes, leave it to me to combine two of my favorite things....pork and crafting.




This is my first project with the Silhouette and it worked out great.

Summer Berry Trifle Push Up Pops

Summer berries are amazing! We have a wonderful Farmer's Market on Saturdays right outside our town home and we can't get enough summer berries.

I had these Push Up Pop holders that I bought months ago from Mindy Mae's Market that were collecting dust in the garage. Such a shame, I know, but I work 50 hours a week and don't have much time for fun stuff. I have been wanting to try out some of Courtney Dial Whitmore's recipes from her Push Up Pops book for a while now. I thumbed through it for inspiration but I knew that I wasn't going to have time to bake a cake for the layers. I totally cheated and simplified the recipe (sorry Courtney!).  This project was so easy that my 4 year old helped me with it.
