Baby Shower Highlights

This weekend a couple of my aunts, my mom, and I threw a baby shower for my sister. It was a lot of fun! Here are some pictures:

Baby Blanket

My sister is having a baby! Tomorrow we are throwing her a shower to shower them both with gifts & love. (Anticipate posts about recipes and decorations, etc).

I crocheted this pink & white chevron blanket for the little one as soon as I found out the babe was a girl. I am sooo excited to be getting another niece  (and this one will live so close that I will get to babysit often.)

Oh the ruckus the two of us will make as she ages. World, you better make way for Auntie Erin and Baby Francy. We'll make a perfect pair. =)

What do you think of the baby blanket? Check out my crochet shop to see other items I have created. You can also custom order a blanket like this one if you wish. Stay tuned to the blog for a tutorial on how I made this one. 

50 Recipes: Graham Cracker Pie Crust

I was commissioned to write about Peanut Butter Pies over on LHL. For that pie you are supposed to use a graham cracker pie crust. Well of course you could always buy graham cracker pie crust from the grocery store, but why would you, when you can make your own? So that's what I did.

Ingredients:

• 1.5 cup crushed graham crackers, crumbed
• 6 TBSP melted butter
• 1/3 sugar
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients until well mixed
• Press into pie tin
• Bake at 375 C for 7 minutes
• Cool

This pie crust is so delicious! The hubs loves the cinnamon taste. My crumbs tend to be a but chunky, but I like the unique look that turns out. Yum Yum Yum!

Be sure to check out the peanut butter pie recipe that I posted over at Little House Living. You won't be sorry... but your muffin-top might! =)
