Haute Goat + LoveMeKnot Creations = Awesome.

So I told you all about a collaborative project I was working on with another Etsian, HauteGoat.


Behold, the 100% Reclaimed Cashmere Eye Pillow *insert dramatic music here*



It's 100% reclaimed cashmere, with a sheer lining on the inside so no little tiny wheat berries can csneak out. There are unscented, orange, and lavender eye pillows available throughout the Seattle area at a few dowtown boutiques. Heidi at HauteGoat also has a few available in her Etsy Shop! She also makes reclaimed cashmere scarves in two sizes, so go hurry and snatch one up because she's making quite a name for her work, as seen on TV!
Here is a short (about 6 minutes) video from the Local News about Great Gifts for Women, and they showcase HauteGoat's cashmere scarves and our eye pillow, the anchor even tries on the eye pillow, hehe :)

Streuseled Topped Sweet Potato Casserole

This is one of my fave recipes from Cooking Light magazine.

I've made many times before NOT for Thanksgiving, and it works pretty darn well with a lot of entrees. Plus it tastes even better as a leftover...



pictures are from Cooking Light magazine, not me.

Assemble the potato mixture and sprinkle with the streusel, then freeze the casserole up to 2 weeks ahead of Thanksgiving. Thaw in refrigerator and bake as directed. Or cook just the potatoes a day ahead, mash and refrigerate and proceed with the recipe as directed (starting with the addition of half-and-half) the day you're serving the dish.

Add 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper if you want to add a bit of heat to this sweet dish. **I never do, I like it sweet :)**

Yield
18 servings (serving size: about 1/2 cup)

Ingredients
14 cups (1-inch) cubed peeled sweet potato (about 5 pounds)
1/2 cup half-and-half
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Cooking spray
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup chilled butter, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Preparation
Preheat oven to 375°.
Place potato in a Dutch oven, and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 12 minutes or until tender. Drain.


Combine the half-and-half and next 4 ingredients (half-and-half through egg) in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add potato to egg mixture; beat with a mixer at medium speed until smooth. Spoon potato mixture into a 13 x 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray.
Combine flour and sugar in a food processor; pulse to combine. Add chilled butter; pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in pecans; sprinkle over potato mixture.
Cover and bake at 375° for 15 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 25 minutes or until the topping is browned and the potatoes are thoroughly heated.

Christmas is Only...

Christmas is 37 Days Away!

Man, it always sneaks up every year huh?

Well, this also means that the infmaous Black Friday is 10 days away!!!

If you're like me, I absolutely HATE large crowds of people. Hate it. And huge crowds of people who push and shove and make me spill my coffee all over my white jacket...

But this year WILL be different! I took the handmade pledge and am trying to buy ALL local and/or handmade products for gifts this year, and what's even better is that the lovely Heatherknitz has came up with a great holiday sale starting 11/27 and going until 12/1!

Here is a link to her Holiday EtsyFest Blog post about all the awesome shops (including yours truly), who are participating and where you can find them on Etsy, and she even categorized them for your shopping pleasure :)

These are shops who handmake their items AND who are going to be having GREAT Black Friday discounts!!!
What's better then browsing Etsy shops in your slippers while sipping coffee, and watching the local news and laughing at the people at the malls on Black Friday?

Caramel Apple Crumb Pie

What pie better represents fall like a Caramel Apple pie? (Ok, ok, except for pumpkin pie...)

Caramel Apple Crumb Pie

from CookingLight.com, the picture is their's also.






Yield
10 servings (serving size: 1 wedge)


**A few of the reviews on CL's website mentioned buying a pre-made crust if you are in a time crunch, I probably will do that....and I'll probably double the topping suggested since I like mine super crunchy on top!

Ingredients
Crust
:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons chilled butter or stick margarine, cut into small pieces
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
3 tablespoons plus 1/2 teaspoon ice water
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
Butter-flavored cooking spray


Filling:
1 tablespoon butter or stick margarine
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
9 cups sliced peeled Granny Smith apple (about 2 3/4 pounds)
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons lemon juice


Topping:
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons chilled butter or stick margarine, cut into small pieces
1/4 cup fat-free caramel sundae syrup




Preparation
Preheat oven to 375°.
To prepare crust, lightly spoon 1 cup flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine 1 cup flour and salt in a bowl; cut in 2 tablespoons butter and shortening with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Sprinkle surface with ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time; add vinegar. Toss with a fork until moist and crumbly (do not form a ball).


Press mixture gently into a 4-inch circle on heavy-duty plastic wrap; cover with additional plastic wrap. Roll dough, still covered, to a 12-inch circle. Freeze 10 minutes or until plastic wrap can be easily removed.


Remove 1 sheet of plastic wrap; fit dough into a 9-inch pie plate coated with cooking spray. Remove top sheet of plastic wrap. Fold edges under; flute. Line bottom of dough with a piece of foil; arrange pie weights (or dried beans) on foil. Bake at 375° for 15 minutes or until the edge is lightly browned. Remove pie weights and foil; cool on a wire rack.


To prepare filling, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Combine 1/2 cup brown sugar and cinnamon. Add sugar mixture and apples to skillet; cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; stir in 3 tablespoons flour and lemon juice. Spoon into prepared crust.


To prepare topping, lightly spoon 1/4 cup flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine flour and 1/4 cup brown sugar in a bowl; cut in 2 tablespoons butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal.


Drizzle syrup over apple mixture; sprinkle topping over syrup. Bake at 375° for 30 minutes or until apples are tender. Cool on a wire rack.

Last Day to Register!

If you live in Washington State (like I do...), Saturday October 4th is the LAST day to register to vote for the upcoming elections! (In WA the cut off date is 30 days prior to election day, which is November 4th)


Doesn't matter if you like McCain or Obama, just go register and vote.
I'm super excited because this will be the first election I get to vote in! (Wasn't registered for 2004.)

Now without getting all politic-ky on you, here's some links:

Quick & Easy Recipes

Since I've been living on my own for a few months, I've noticed I don't cook as much anymore, and I LOVE to cook. However, I feel somewhat "guilty" for cooking myself a full dinner meal, when I'm the only one eating... (Kona my kitten doesn't count.)


So I decided in order to not only save money (frozen dinners add up), but also to help my waistline (frozen dinners add up there too), I'm going in search of some quick and easy dinner recipes. I can't guarantee this will be a weekly blog post theme, but I'll try my best!!


Tenderloin Steaks with Red Onion Marmalade:

(this is derived from Cooking Light's myrecipe website, so is the picture)


Serves 4, 1 steak and 1/3 c marmalade


* I know I know, why would I need 4 servings if I'm the only one eating?? I will cut the recipe in half, make 2 steaks and 1/2 the original sauce, then have lunch for work the next day.... Yes I am a genius*



Ingredients
Cooking spray (like Pam)
1 large red onion, sliced and separated into rings (about 2 cups)
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 (4-ounce) beef tenderloin steaks, trimmed (1 inch thick)



Preparation
1. Preheat broiler. (I love that this is a broiler recipe, since I live in an apartment and do not have a grill to bbq on!)
2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add onion to pan. Cover and cook 3 minutes. Add vinegar, honey, and 1/4 teaspoon salt to pan. Reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, 8 minutes or until slightly thick, stirring occasionally.
3. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, thyme, and pepper evenly over beef. Place beef on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray (I will probably use foil to cover my broiler pan so its easier to clean later); broil 4 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Serve with onion mixture.

EtsyRain Handmade Arts SHow!



Hi Everyone!

September's been a busy month, with personal things (I'm taking a Chemistry class at the local college! This is one of the pre-reqs I have to finish up!), Etsyrain things (Puddle zine we are making, October show, local meetups), and of course trying to figure out why my computer won't let me load photos to Etsy... *sigh*
Mainly I'm stoked about our EtsyRain Handmade Arts How that is in EXACTLY 3 weeks! October 12, 2008 which is Sunday (and two days after my birthday...ahem) we'll be at St. Edward's State Park!





I'm really excited because this is my first craft show, not including the farmers markets.
There will be a Bake Sale going on, and all proceeds from that will help benefit the VSA Arts of Washington (which is a non-profit that helps bring the arts to people with disabilities), not to mention the INCREDIBLE Swag Bags that the first 50 people that walk thru will get for free! These nifty swag bags will include mini samples of all the shops that will be at the Handmade Arts Show.
And did I mention that I'll be BAKING stuff for the bake sale? I'm a good cook, so that's more then enough reason to show up....
Feel free to come on by if you are in the nieghborhood on October 12! (St. Ed's park is located in Kenmore, WA off of Juanita Dr and next to Bastyr University) Admission is free!

Happy Belated Bday EtsyRain!

So yesterday was my local street team's 1st birthday, and I'm a nerd and totally forgot to post about it! *sorry!*


Happy Birthday EtsyRain!


We are a wonderful group of crafters in the Seattle metro area who all discuss, talk, share, play, craft, and hang out together.


One year ago it all started with about 20 members, but as of yesterday, we are closing in 400!!!


Yowza!


Just to brag about how awesome EtsyRain is....


We are a very active street team, who fully supports one another. We are having our own EtsyRain craft show on october 12, 2008 (two days after my birthday I might add), so feel free to come on by! It will be at St Edward's State Park in Kenmore, WA.


For our birthday celebration, we decided to do a reverse birthday gift and send a big ol' box of etsyrain gooies from various shops to the Etsy Admins back in New York! We included a disposable camera so they could take pics of themselves while opening the gift and trying things on ;) We all hope they really enjoy our gift, and see just how talented the Seattle EtsyRain team is!!


EtsyRain has done a few shows already this year, and I can't wait for the October one!

Whoo hoooooo!

yum... Jeff Dye...

Ok, so this is totally not business or craft related whatsoever but...

I must profess my love for Jeff Dye. He is on Last Comic Standing on NBC and he is friggin' HILARIOUS! Plus, not too shabby to look at... right ladies???


And, for an extra brownie point, he is from Seattle! I should take him out for a tall vanilla latte... (if you saw him on LCS then you would so get that joke...c'mon..)


Anywho, go get a bib so you can start drooling over his picture...

The Etsy 10 City Promo Swap

Now I must admit, when I first saw AlwaysAmy's thread on the Etsy forums about the 10 City Swap I was scared. Mainly because I didn't HAVE any fliers or promos to really send out for someone to post on their local bulletin boards for me...
However, instead I took it as a new challenge to myself to create my own flyer for LoveMeKnot Creations.

So what is this 10 City Swap you ask??
It's where 10 people send the other 9 their shop's promos to post on bulletin boards. You in return, will recieve 9 other shop's promos that you must post on your local bulletin boards. The only rules are that you must send at least one promo and you must also post the promos on at least 2 different boards.
There was a pretty big response so AlwaysAmy divided us into 3 groups, and here are the other shop's that are in my group, group #1:

AlwaysAmy
RecycledIdeas
BamaBelle
DesignedbyLucinda
StubbornWoman
CustomMemoryBooks
BeadBratOriginals
RosannaElizabeth
AdlensKrafts
WireTree

I'm waiting on a few more promos to come in the mail, then I'll post some pics and updates!

My Bucket List...




So I actually stumbled upon the Bucket List idea on Confession of an Apron Queen's blog via Wonderfully Sew Knit's blog. (Although, I already knew of the movie)
I think this is a GREAT idea to really help remind everybody to live life and to live for Today.

So, here is my Bucket List:
1. Travel. Especially Australia and Italy.
2. Open up my own cafe, with live music every night :)
3. To be my own boss, no more 9-5 for me!
4. To make a great speech in front of a packed house (<--- scarrry but some reason I want to do it)
5. Work at or volunteer at a Wildlife refuge.
6. To try and finish a marathon.
7. To try parasailing


I'm sure there's a lot more, but that's my List for now!

How to Install a Magnetic Snap

I am by no means a veteran at sewing, in fact I'm kind of a novice/amateur...but I had to learn how to install a magnetic snap, and here is how I did it. PLEASE read the entire post there are some notes I made at the end that are helpful :)
* Make sure you install a magnetic snap BEFORE sewing the lining into the outer fabric!








1. So to begin, make sure you have the male part, the female part, and the two "plates", as seen in the above picture.






2. Mark on the fabric where you want the snaps to go, but make sure it is the same on both sides of the lining of the purse so when it is all finished, the snaps will match up and close correctly. Now make small slits where the marks are, and you can use a no-sew glue or fray-check on the slits after you cut them to make sure they don't fray or rip.






3. Now poke the prong side through the slits, you want the prongs on the Wrong side of the fabric, and the smooth snap side on the Right side of the fabric, see my seams....:)






4. I cut out 2 small pieces of heavyweight interfacing, cut the same size slits in it, then placed it on top of the prongs on the Wrong side of the fabric. I also use a little fabric glue to hold the interfacing down.




5. Now you can put the 'plate' part over the prongs. In this picture I bent the prongs outward, away from each other. I actually NOW recommend bending them INWARD, facing each other. This is because after I finished this purse I could feel the prongs and am wondering if they will rip the lining fabric....so, Note To Self: Bend inwards. You can also see my fabric glue on the plate, this is just so the interfacing won't rip...not a necessity.




6. So here is one side of a finished magnetic snap....

7. Here is me testing out my magnetic snap for a lining of a purse...

So here are a few things I learned along the way...

* Heavy interfacing was NOT enough, I actually went back and re-did the lining and ADDED a small piece of regular fleece ontop of each prong piece. This added extra security for me, knowing that every time I opened, and closed, and pulled apart the snaps I wasn't going to worry about the lining tearing or ripping...

* Bend the prongs INWARD, as to try to prevent them 'sticking' out if you bend outwards and to not rip the fabric.

* Fabric glue gets everywhere and if it gets on fabric it is very visible. So... use caution!

I hope this helps someone out there :) Feel free to add any of your tips also!

I did It, I have a Business!

YAY! I'm so stinkin' happy right now! I went online and applied for my business license, and it seriously only took like ten minutes, but I even got to print out my UBI #. SWEET! I do still have to get a license for my city, and then any other city I plan on doing business in.... but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. But, just thought I'd share how happy I am and how good it feels to be *almost* legit :)
