Focaccia

Focaccia is soooo fun to make esp with kids. I love getting my kids involved in cooking. The younger you get them cooking, the more love they have for it and want to do it. I started my son off at 4 years old.. today he LOVES to cook. I did not do the same with my daughter and she is really not into cooking. So, I decided any children we have going forward, their little butts will be cooking. Anytime my nieces or nephews are over, we cook together (bread, pizza, biscuits, whatever).  You Will Need: 4 Cups Bread Flour (King Arthur) 2 tsp Salt 1 tsp Sugar (honey or agava)  1.5 tsp Yeast 1 tbsp Oil (olive or avocado) 1 3/4 Cups Warm Water  Bake at 445 degrees 10-12 minutes

Crochet Popsicle Cozy

It is summer time! Getting hot, hot, hot here in Ohio finally! It feels like we have gone almost all summer without actually feeling like it is summer time. But it is starting to be 90's and I love it! So I have decided to start off with a new section to the blog! I am hoping this is something everyone wants to see, and I really hope you guys enjoy this section. Off subject, I made slippers for my daughter and have been asked like crazy to share my pattern, but with moving I just have not had the time, so I decided this would make my life so much easier! This pattern is very simple, and can make up a bunch at a time. I figured these would be perfect for pool parties, or even in a birthday party 'goodie' bag.
Materials:
Yarn: Red Heart Super Saver
Yarn Needle
Scissors
Hook: 5.00 mm
Terms:
CH- Chain
HDC- Half Double Crochet  
SL ST- Slip Stitch

Make Magic Ring; CH 4, SL ST into first CH (Wah Bam!)
Row 1: CH 1, 11 SC in ring, SL ST into CH 1 (11 STS)
Row 2: CH 1, 1 SC in CH 1 stitch, 1 SC in next 5 stitches, 2 SC in next, then SC in last 5 stitches (13 STS)
Row 3-15: SC in each stitch around, do not join, use stitch marker to keep track on first stitch (13 STS); weave yarn tail
Row 16: CH 1, HDC around join to the top (not the CH 1) (13 STS) 
End: Cut yarn, yarn over and pull yarn through hook all the way; weave ends; turn inside out (this is the correct way)
