On a happier note, I have a customer who emailed me about making a sock monkey set she had seen. I said sure I can give it a try and it turned out so cute.
This is the one she wanted with the red and blues, then I tried sage green and a raspberry, I just love it!
I listed them and am waiting to see if they are a hit. I have some orders to do and then I am beginning some new items that will need to be tweaked and tried before they can hit the shop.
I am also planning a Mother's Day Brunch at my house for Sunday, it seemed much easier before the back pain, but I will get through. I have two grown daughters, their kids and few other grandkids a friend who is staying here and us so it won't be too bad.
Here is one of my menu ideas
4 a.m. French Toast Casserole
This casserole makes for a fantastic breakfast treat. The house smells so sweet the rest of the day after you bake this!

•Maple Syrup, To Serve
Preparation Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Lightly butter an 8×8 inch baking dish.
3. Fill the baking dish with bread cubes. In a large bowl, beat together eggs, milk, 2 tablespoons sugar, salt and vanilla. Pour the egg mixture over the bread.
4. Combine the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar with the brown sugar and chopped pecans. Sprinkle over the bread. Dot with butter and finish off with a sprinkle of cinnamon.

I found this on a trip to Tasy Kitchen, I am also going to make cinnamon rolls from a recipe I found on Pioneer Woman, they are amazing and so simple http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2007/06/cinammon_rolls_/.
I made these for the teen when they went camping and they all loved them. Since you can make about 7 pans I froze a couple last time and them on chilly mornings would pop a pan in the oven and the smell is amazing....everyone loves them.
I am still looking for an egg dish that I can bake up and them I am making some almond croissants, buying a nice flavored coffee and I should be done.
I am of to the heating pad and some tylenol for my back. Have a great day!
