PIE-jamma party (SCA sneak peek)

Want to know a secret?

The Southern Craft Academy will be hosting a PIE-jamma party!

I’ve wanted to throw a PIE-jamma party ever since I spotted Sandy from Firefly Confections rocking pj pants with actual pies on them.

And since one of our sessions at Southern Craft Academy will include my infamous DIY ruffled capri pj pants, I found it only appropriate that we incorporate the pies.

I mean we’re already having a slumber party.

With fantastic pj pants.

Include some pie, and we’re golden.

You know what else we’ll need?

Pie pops.

That’s right. Little pies on sticks.

Lucky for the Academy, I took it upon myself to test out my pie on stick making skills.

Not bad for the trial run.

Of course, there will be actual pies.

And other super fun surPIEses.

Get it? Sur-PIE-ise? I crack myself up sometimes.

I don’t want to have to say I told you so, but if you aren’t coming to Southern Craft Academy in August you’re probably going to want to get your booty on the Spring 2014 waiting list.

Like now.

I am having way too much fun with the planning process and cannot wait to share my state with the 12 ladies comprising the inaugural  Southern Craft Academy.

Ya’ll, it’s going to be FABULOUS.

PS: For a tutorial on how to make these little lovelies without the pie making apparatus, I referred to Bakerella’s Easy As Pie Tutorial.

Ya'll, I completely missed Monogram Monday yesterday. I don't think anyone noticed, but if you did....I'll make up for it later in the week! Life is just so darn crazy right now. Crazy, but full of some great opportunities. Crazy, but thrilling over a shop expansion and bringing someone new onto the team soon. Crazy, but exciting with fun summertime partnerships. Crazy, trying to get our house prepared to place on … [Continue reading...]

Welcome to Louisiana (New Neighbor Gift)

Homemade Louisiana Cookies

It all started last weekend when I was at the cutest kitchen shop in Savannah, GA- Kitchens on the Square. I spotted a Louisiana shaped cookie cutter and needed it in my life even though I had no idea that I would actually make Louisiana shaped cookies. I mean I like my state and all, but come on. If you follow me on Instagram, you already saw this photo.  So I had the cute little cutter without any real purpose … [Continue reading...]

Monogrammed Mondays (floppy sun hat)

Stacy- Derby Hat

I've been seeing the monogrammed sun hats everywhere, and each time I talk myself out of one, another one will pop up and make me reconsider. And such was the case this past weekend as women across the South celebrated the Kentucky Derby. Here are some of my favorite monogrammed sun hats that you may have seen me pin on Pinterest: The floppy hat with flower  is from Tiny Tulip and I've currently got my finger on … [Continue reading...]

Monogrammed Mondays {swim party edition}

Swim Party 2

  I'm going to go ahead and warn you that today's monogrammed Monday is a monogram overload. My friend Dana, whom I've been friends with since junior high has THE most adorable step daughter. Her name is Carmen and  she is sweet, spunky and sassy just like her step-mom. They both love to shop and accessorizing should be their middle name. Carmen's birthday is coming up, and they've decided on a sassy leopard … [Continue reading...]

Pecan Praline Brownies With Sauce

It should be known across the land, for all of mankind who will listen,  that I am the queen of pralines. I should start an entire series titled "If You Like It, You Should Put A Praline On It". Now, try to get that song out of your mind. You're welcome. Last weekend my dad hosted a crawfish boil and I needed something sweet to bring along. I was craving brownies. I was craving pralines. As usual, I combined the … [Continue reading...]
