Scotcharoos (peanut butter crispie treats)

Posted on March 29, 2019May 30, 2019by Carmen

The last time we had to make treats for church, I wanted to make Scotcharoos. I debated whether or not I would write up the recipe. But then I needed to look up the recipe, because it had been long enough I wasn’t sure I remembered correctly. I should have remembered as this is a […]

Bedtime Discussions (a PSA for parents)

Posted on March 19, 2019May 30, 2019by Carmen

Last week I read an article called “Making Bedtime a Treasured & Meaningful Time with your Children” that stuck with me – especially this section: I used to think that my children’s willingness to talk at bedtime was a delay tactic!

Brown to Vortex (January update)

Posted on February 1, 2019February 2, 2021by Carmen
Jan 2019 snowfall

January went by in a blur!  Granted, I spent the first two weeks under extreme stress trying to prepare for a major install on the 12th, but still…!! Basically, to me this past month was all about stress, weather and crafting.  The latter is the only part that hasn’t been stressful. Anyone living in the […]

My first 2019 post

Posted on January 25, 2019February 16, 2021by Carmen

Somehow the end of the year has suddenly become the end of January. I’m not sure exactly how that happened but I’m sure it’s somewhat related to being insanely busy at my day job for the first 2 1/2 weeks of the year. It’s been so crazy that I come home and pretty much mentally […]

Hearts Aplenty Hat and Mittens - ASimpleHomestead Designs

It’s that time of year again: my favorite event has started! No, it’s not Black Friday. Ugh. I don’t like crowds – or even shopping in general. Unless it’s for fiber-related items 🙂 I happy to be one of over 349 (!!) lucky knit and crochet designers that are participating in this event. If you’re […]

Abigail Hat - Carmen Nuland

Lots of major happenings in the past couple of weeks, but things have been so crazy I haven’t had time to tell you about them all!! First of all, I want to just mention how terribly cold and snowy it is here today.  Yes, SNOW. And ice. Enough to make it super-slippery early this morning.  […]
