Here's my contribution to the Holly Day Blog Hop:

Rocky Road Fudge

I love this easy fudge recipe (no candy thermometer needed) passed to me by my mother. It's my "go-to" dessert for any get together, the first thing my husband asks for at the beginning of the holiday season and, thanks to this blog, I'm eating a piece now!

What you'll need:
12 oz package of semi sweet choc chips

14oz can of sweetened condensed milk

2 tablespoons butter, margarine or other butter spread

2 cups dry roasted peanuts --I love the taste of salty peanuts and chocolate, but not too salty, so I do 1 cup salted, 1 cup unsalted.

10.5 oz package of mini marshmallows

In large bowl, combine peanuts and marshmallows. In sauce pan, melt chocolate chips with sweetened condensed milk and butter over medium-low heat until smooth. Remove chocolate from burner and pour over marshmallow/peanut mixture. Mix well. Spread into a wax paper lined 13x9" pan. Chill 2 hours. Cut into squares (makes about 40 squares...or 4 big ones!)

Let me know how yours turns out! ~Jocelyn



Here's the next stop: http://handmadewhimzy.blogspot.com/2010/12/holly-day-blog-hop-from-etsymom-team.html

Bibs, bibs, bibs galore!

Pin 'em, cut 'em, sew 'em, snap 'em....Every spare minute, well nearly every, is spent making bibs.

We're gearing up for the Green Baby Expo where we'll be selling our BPA free wipeable bibs and splat mats. Stop by and see us!

Green Baby Expo - "A one-day event to educate, inform and inspire eco-minded consumers about ways to make our environment, homes and lives safer, healthier, and happier places to live for our children."

Now Selling Custom Tablecloths

Get ready to show off that table, whether indoors or out, because they're finally here...those tablecloths I talked about months ago. I'm offering them in 5 sizes and 6 different prints. With more to come-time management willing. All are rectangular except for one square. If your table is oblong measure it because one of these just might work!

The best part - they are waterproof and wipe-able. Plus the laminate coating is BPA free and PVC free, making these tablecloths a safe alternative to oilcloth!

Square - 55x55" $38
Large - 55x75" $58

X Large - 55x85" $68

XX Large - 55x102" $88

XXX Large - 55x120" $98

When you're not using it as a table covering, use it as a splat mat under your craft table, kids play dough table or baby's highchair.

New Splat Mats for Summer

There are so many new prints in the shop and I'm loving every second with them!
Here are some of the latest by Heather Bailey.

New splat mats are about to hit the shop!!

Check out these brand new laminated cotton prints! Not only are they cute - they're also BPA & PVC free! Won't they make the cutest splat mats? All fruity, retro and kitcheney...

And can you just imagine them as a summer table cloth! I'm already seeing apples and pears with an extra wide black and white polka dot border.

Now I just have to find some free time (what's that?) to whip up a couple splat mats for the shop. I'll let you know when they're available!

Our Splat Mats are Baby Tested and Mommy Approved!

Thank you, Momma Drama, for taking the time to test and review our splat mats! See what this mommy has to say on her blog and become a follower! She's also currently featuring several giveaways.

Look What Just Arrived

Monkey's Bizness Ready, Set, Robot! Isn't it the cutest!?! Retro robots all over a navy background...LOVE it!! I ordered just 2 yards of it from Pink Chalk Fabrics, www.pinkchalkfabrics.com, but now I'm wishing for more! I'm covering it with a heat 'n bond vinyl for a custom splat mat for a customer. As well as a matching baby bib and placemat. I'll be sure to post photos of the completed projects.

The Newest Splat Mats

Now that I have some new laminated fabrics I've been itching to make some more splat mats. Here are the newest additions.
