Princess Peg Dolls

Make your very own princess peg dolls to play with, collect, or to give as gifts!


My daughter LOVES everything princess. So, as soon as I saw the adorable Disney-inspired dolls that Lil Blue Boo made, I knew I had to try to make some for my little princess, too! They are all hand-drawn and hand-painted. I've made two sets so far {one for my daughter, and one for a friend's daughter}. I can't wait to make more!

Refashioned Ruffle Skirt

A while ago we were able to score some t-shirts for only $1! I didn't have a plan for them, but I grabbed a bunch in different colors and knew I would come up with something eventually. Well, project number one was to come up with a new ruffly skirt for the little miss! I must admit, this is my first time EVER making anything with ruffles {gasp!}, but with a cooperating sewing machine and some patience, it turned out great!! So fun. Will definitely be making more.


Pretty cute, right? I love it!

Super Simple Beef Stroganoff

Nothing like an easy-throw-it-in-the-CrockPot dinner! This is really an easy recipe, and practically fool-proof!
{Well, this fool didn't mess it up - so, I'm pretty sure you won't either...}


Ingredients:
1 lb Stew Meat {or cut up a roast into bite size pieces}
{Stew meat is pretty inexpensive, and I even got the butcher to cut it into pieces for me! Less work? Yes, please!}
1 packet Onion Soup Mix
2 cans Cream of Mushroom Soup
1/2 cup Sour Cream

Cut up stew meat {if not already cut} and place in in CrockPot along with the entire packet of onion soup mix, cream of mushroom soup and sour cream. Cook on low for 4-6 hours, longer for more tender meat.

Serve over rice or pasta. It tastes delicious either way!
