T-Shirt Dress



During nap time today I converted one of our school T-shirts into a toddler dress!  So fun!  I used Liz Clark's infant gowns pattern, too!  She specializes in mid-1800 clothing, but, hey, it works for this, too!

Mixes, Mixes, Mixes

I had so much fun making mixes yesterday!

I ground my wheat then made cornbread, pancake, waffle, and a no-bake cookie mix (we'll see if it's worth it to make that mix, because it already has too many steps!)

Usually I put my mixes in yogurt cartons and store them in the fridge (because of the whole wheat), but I though I'd try baggies this time.  I wrote my add-ins on the bags and plan to save the bags to re-fill later.

To bad my kitchen was left like this!

Waffles (variation from BHG Cookbook):

1 3/4 C WW flour
1-2 T sugar
1 T baking powder
1/4 t salt
Very heaping 1/4 C dry powdered milk (or however much you need to equal 1 3/4 C milk depending on your dry milk product)

When ready to use, add:
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 - 1/2 C oil
