Custard Pie!

So I'm sure everyone has some favorite family recipes. This is one of ours! We love eggs in our family so this is one of our many recipes involving eggs.  Wanted to share :)

Custard Pie:

4 Eggs
3/4 C. Sugar
1/2 C. Flour
1 tsp. Vanilla
1/4 tsp. Nutmeg
1/4 C. Melted Margarine (I use butter)
2 C. Milk

I like to add a dash of cinnamon to the top. 

Combine all ingredients in blender.  Mix well and pour into greased pie plate.  Cool before cutting.  Bake at 350 degree for 40 min or until golden brown (my oven must take longer, it took almost double that time.  Check with a tooth pick it should come out clean)

Updating Shop Pictures

So I've learned a lot the last few months as I have had my shop.  The biggest thing is that I can take decent pictures with an inexpensive camera.  It just takes practice. So, here is a picture I took today to upgrade one of the listings in my shop.  Here is the new picture:

Here is the old picture:

 Hopefully over time all the pictures on my shop will begin to look more professional :)

"Pockets"

 I wanted to share this idea I've had.  These are "pockets" or pouches or bags, whatever you want to call them.  They would be so fun for party favors, gifts, etc.  The best parts are they are so easy to make and you can make any design you want.  The picture about shows the Shamrock Pocket.  I started shipping all my orders (that will fit) in these cute little "pockets." Until St. Patrick's is over, then I'll find another one. 

So you start out with any shape you want.  I suggest cutting a piece of card stock paper first then cutting out 2 of your shape.  If you are using a felt with glitter or a design, make sure the back you are cutting out opposite of the front so your design shows up on both sides.  Then sew along the top edge of only one of your sides (make sure to backstitch) this will give you a finished look.  Then take the other side and finish sewing all the way around.  A fun idea for party favors, etc.  If you don't like to sew or would rather not, you can buy some on my shop and even request any shape (I can attempt it for you :) )

 Crown "pocket"

We loved the first Despicable me, looking forward to #2
