Hi! My name is Melanie, and I have been crafting ever since I was allowed to hold scissors. I'm a hand-sewer and painter. I'm currently obsessed with heirloom quilts (some made with vintage fabrics and velvets!), stuffed owls and birds, felted acorns, and getting back into painting. Having two babies of my own (2 and 1), I'm focusing on items they enjoy as well, such as jingle blocks. I'm also making pine cone people for the holiday season. My crafts are reasonably priced...hey, I sell to support my crafting habit! I create what I want and would buy and what inspires me. I blog at The Magic Nest (http://themagicnest.blogspot.com/), and will hopefully be getting some tutorials up soon.
My biggest challenge now is getting the owls and bunnies out of the house without being seen...my girls practicallly tackle me for them! I'm so glad to be back in the crafting world, and looking forwward to meeting you all soon!

Mocha-licious

Maybe you are like me, and addicted to a special caffeinated drink from a certain place...

Its a rare treat, but whats not fun about it? Paying almost $5 a pop. So, I make my mochas at home! It's crazy easy. Brew up a pot of strong coffee, and add a generous scoop of hot chocolate to the bottom of your mug. Pour in hot coffee and stir, stir, stir. Add some milk and you're done. Not QUITE as nice as someone making it for you...but close.

Oh, and you can skip all of that and pour some chocolate milk in if pressed for time, and/or lazy like me in the morning.
