Ice cream and a Labor Day sale

So I have a new kit up in the shop, mini ice cream key chains! I know the summer is just about over, but you can hold onto some of that summertime goodness with this cute pattern!





Each kit makes two double scoop cone key chains in strawberry, vanilla or chocolate with a cherry on top. Mix up the colors, do a single scoop, or leave off the cherry, whatever floats your boat!

And as a bonus, I'm having a Labor Day sale over at my Etsy shop. Just enter the coupon code LBRDAY14 at checkout to receive 20% off your purchase! If the ice cream cone kit doesn't strike your fancy, I have eight other designs ranging from cats and dogs to owls and bears, so come check it out! Sale ends at midnight, September 1st, 2014 and does not apply to shipping or taxes.

Toasted marshmallow ice cream

Nothing beats a summer campfire and roasting marshmallows on a stick. But sometimes it's just too darn hot to sit in front of a fire to get that toasty marshmallow. Cue toasted marshmallow ice cream!

Lemon seven-layer cookies

When it comes to cookies I generally love simple recipes, the mix-everything-in-one-bowl kind of deal. But every once in a while, it's nice to make a fancy cookie, one that makes people go "Wow! You made bakery cookies!" Which is how my friends responded when I gave them my test batches, even though the first couple of times they came out kind of wonky. 

Turtle PhD

So one of my best friends graduated this past weekend with her PhD and unfortunately I wasn't able to make it down to Georgia to see her walk  in the ceremony. As a little graduation present I crocheted her this turtle (one of her favorite animals) complete with his very own hood, grad cap, and doctorate!
