Talking about Randomness on Tuesday

There is a lot to talk about this Tuesday. Bear with me if this post is a little random.


First, I participated in a bloggy ornament exchange hosted by Kathleen Marie at The Open Window. My exchange partner is Tiany at Less of Me - More of Him. When I received my partner assignment, I had just discovered Tiany's blog. She hosts Monday Meanderings. Here is the ornament that Tiany sent me. Thanks, Tiany!!




Technically, I am not the Queen Mother. That would be my mom, which means I am the Queen, and Ladybug is the Princess. Which of course she is. By the way, did you see the newest Ladybug pics yesterday? Go check them out. I'll wait...


On to other random things to share. Does anyone else love Red Velvet Cake? I grew up with it, from scratch, and I'm a Yankee. So when I moved to the South, I was excited to see that other people knew Red Velvet Cake. However, I soon discovered that what some people considered "Red Velvet Cake" was, umm, how do I say this, umm, not up to snuff. Well, I have my grandmother's recipe and I made it for a Christmas party this week. Oh. My. If y'all need a good recipe, it's posted on my recipe blog - On Pans and Kneadles.


Another random item, I love crafts, but I don't always have the patience for crafts. Plus I have a 6 1/2 month old baby, so I don't have large windows of time to dedicate to craftiness (except in the kitchen). But I decided to try my hand at making a grocery cart seat cover. It's a VERY easy pattern, and I love the fabric that I found - it has ladybugs!!! So here is Ladybug using the seat cover for the first time a few weeks ago.





One last item of randomness. One of my favorite mommy bloggers is the Fabulous Mrs. Fussypants. She's hil.ar.i.ous!! She is the mom of 4 with one on the way. She homeschools her kids, and she makes gorgeous custom jewelry. She held a caption contest last week, and I won. Yes, I did post a shameless plea for votes here on my blog, but I honestly thought I submitted the best caption. I can't wait to get my fabulous earrings!


So, I think that's all the random I have in me.
