Tutorial Tuesday: Homemade Laundry Soap

I have made several batches of this laundry soap since Little Peachy was born. Currently we are back to store bought, but I may make this recipe again someday.
I found this recipe over at Tammy's Recipes.
Tutorial Rating-- (I will use a three point scale to rate the tutorial with three being excellent and one being poor)
Accuracy of Tutorial: 3
Written Directions: 3
Visual Directions: 3
Type of Tutorial: recipe, laundry
Skill Level: Anyone
When I made it, I used a Pampered Chef cheese grater to grate the soap. That made the job quick and easy. This recipe didn't work well on tough stains and also doesn't mask odors, but for everyday laundry it gets the job done.

Foodie Friday: Pesto Tomato Pizza

This is a yummy, easy, and quick meal. (I made this up while I abandoned my household chores for sewing last week.)

Ingredients:
-whole wheat flour tortilla
-basil pesto
-grape tomatoes, halved
-shredded mozzarella (Remember how I told you I was in a hurry when I made this? Well, the mozzarella was frozen, so I grabbed some co-jack out of the fridge, cut it into small chunks and went with it.
Directions:
1. Spread tortilla with pesto.
2. Add tomatoes.
3. Top with cheese.
4. Broil in toaster oven until cheese is melted and tortilla is crispy.

This would also work well with a pita!

Wonderful Weather

Our April was beautiful. We had unseasonably wonderful weather. (So much so that it made the seasonable weather this weekend feel like we had gone back three months.) Little Peachy and I were able to get out and enjoy many walks. We are even able to go out when the Little Monkey is over thanks to these little guys.

These bad boys are able to connect two umbrella strollers to make a double stroller. I was pretty impressed with how well the strollers worked in tandem. Another bonus? No large double stroller to store. Here are the two munchkins all ready to go.

"Hurry up, mom. We're ready already!"

"Are you ready, friend?"

"There. Now we are ready to go."

"You better get a move on it, mom."

Tutorial Tuesday: Baby Leggings

I was so excited when I found this tutorial when Little Peachy was, well, little. I quickly bought some socks and went to work. Here is Peachy showing off her mama made leggings and mama decorated onesie around her 6 month birthday:

Type of tutorial: Sewing, Baby
Skill Level: Supper easy :o)
Changes I've made: The only change that I have made is that I use my serger.
I have been collecting socks to make more leggings. I got them all cut up, thinking that I would sell them at the sale and give them as gifts. They are still sitting in pieces by my machine. Some other day.

Fantastic Frames

Remember when I had my big debut? This weekend I was able to participate in my second sale. I work well on a deadline, which means I was still working on finishing projects a half hour before the sale started. (I have promised myself that I will put an earlier deadline for any future sales.)
I made more embellished children's shirts and onesies, crayon rolls, car caddies, diaper and wipe pouches, decorated flip-flops, baby cakes, Lil' Guy Ties, and decorated frames. Keep an eye on my Facebook site to get your hands on the leftovers! (If you haven't already, click on the like button for "kiki b. omi designs." There may be something special for one of you soon. :o)
Remember these cuties? I had so much fun making them that I decided to do some more.create some more and sell them in my space. Here are some of my favorites from this time around:

If only I could decorate my house as easily and cutely as I decorated these frames.
