Spring, Easter and Carrot Cake

Welcome Friends

Why is it at this time of year, we think of carrot cake when we think of dessert?

Maybe the thought of that Easter bunny gnawing on those carrots, makes us get in the mood. Are you in the mood, I am?

So I had to have some carrot cake, but just not the typical kind. Let's put a spin on it - Carrot Cake Thumbprint Cookies

Eclectic Red Barn: Carrot Cake Thumbprint Cookies

Come along and see how these yummy goodies are made.

Easter Bread...A Family Tradition
Walking on Sunshine
For years my sister has been making Easter Bread for her family
and always shares a small loaf with us to also enjoy.
I love Easter Bread.  It's so festive and makes such a pretty presentation
 and lovely gift to bring to the hostess for Easter Sunday dinner



Homestead Tips on Tuesday: Earth Friendly Gardening for Your Backyard
The (mis)Adventures of a "Born Again" Farm Girl

Why do folks garden? The simple answer is, to provide themselves and their families with better quality food for their table. So why then, in our attempts to provide better food do we include things in our gardens that shouldn't be there? No, I am not talking about the plants..... I am talking about the garden structures themselves and the techniques used to grow the plants.



Easter Bunny Cupcake Toppers
She Saved

Back by popular demand, my friend Rani, from Lettering Delights (and creative-mind extraordinaire), is back today to share with us another fun creative idea just in time for Easter.
Check out these ADORABLE Candy Melt Bunny Toppers:
Get into the spirit of the holiday and make this special treat for that some “bunny” special! These fun toppers are easy to make and entirely edible!


Craft Room...A Sneak Peek
Homespuns 'n Hayfields

I decided to give you a sneak peek into my craft room.  It's in desperate need of a clean-up so I'm not quite ready to expose all of it yet.  The craft room is in it's early stages but usable and I enjoy spending time in there.  Of course I want everything to be "cute" (there's that word again) and my hubby thinks I'm nuts.  To me, making it cute makes it more enjoyable to spend time in and revs up those creative juices that I so desperately need.

Healthy Helper Blog

DIY Vases From Plastic Water Bottles-Trashy or Classy?
Petticoat Junktion

Happy Monday Everyone! Wasn’t it a beautiful weekend. Yes, we had some rain but the temps were nice and we saw a lot of sunshine too.

My college classes are over for a few weeks so I’m free as a bird….well not quite…but I do have more free time now. So I worked on a couple of projects this weekend.You know…. I think these are really cute! And talk about inexpensive.



COWBOY CASSEROLE RECIPE
Real Advice Girl

We are sharing our favorite casserole recipe, a heart Cowboy Casserole Recipe that is perfect for cold winter nights or potlucks.


Light and Creamy Peanut Butter Cupcake
Virtually Yours

This light and creamy peanut butter cupcake is so delicious, you’ll be making this recipe for every party you attend. Who doesn’t love peanut butter? Put it in a cupcake, and you’ve got my favorite dessert recipe! I also love that this is a simple dessert to prepare, so it won’t keep you in the kitchen for hours. Easy is good for a change, right?



DIY Easter Candy Jar Centerpieces
A Mother Thing

It is lots of fun to decorate for seasons, holidays and other special occasions. These bright candy jars with nesting peeps are adorable for Easter and for spring! They make great centerpieces for Easter dinner, or you can give them as gifts, a sort of grown-up Easter basket! These are easy to make if you know the right tricks.Let me show you how.


Cute Repurposed Denim Fabric Baskets
Taylor-Made Homestead

I know I must have been a bitter disappointment to my grandmother who sewed all her life (even patchwork quilts for FUN??) and my mother who was a skilled seamstress herself.  I could just never do it.  I was gifted an old Singer sewing machine and I promised myself I’d learn to use it.  But.  I.  Didn’t.


Craft Studio Makeover Reveal - Part I
Little Vintage Cottage

I've been working on a complete makeover of my craft studio space for a few weeks now and I think I'm finally ready to show you! I'm going to do TWO posts for this reveal though because there is a LOT to show!
