Pacifiers with Legs

I'm pretty sure we've all had those sneaky pacifiers grow legs and walk off.

Ok I know it's just out kiddos spitting them out at inopportune times and they go rolling off into oblivion.

Here's my take on those blessed little clips that snap to their little onsies to keep them firmly attached even if they should spit them out. I worked this up using the bobble stitch.

You can use any worsted weight yarn you want but I like to use the variegated stuff to keep it nice and colourful for little ones. You will also need the little suspender clips, most craft stores carry these in the notions section. I found mine in little 2 packs at Joann's.

Starting out

So as I'm sure many of you are aware, being a mom and a wife is a busy job! Despite this I still make sure to find time for my two favourite past times. 

Cooking and crochet.

I would like to share these two things with you. I don't know about you but I am always on the lookout for a new recipe to spice things up in the weekly dinner menu. Sometimes I keep with the recipe. Sometimes I tweak it (my husband doesn't like spicy foods unlike myself). 

As for the crochet, well I love making little clothes and toys for my son, friends, and family. Because let's be honest with ourselves, we all love having a cute little something to have around to remind us of the fun of life. Mine is a little pink crab I keep in the car. 

So I hope you will keep checking back for new things to be posted to help make a busy life a little easier!

To get the ball rolling, I want to share a recipe I stumbled upon that is one of my favourites. Szechuan String Beans is a new one to my household, but quickly became a favourite! Now if your like my husband and not a fan of spicy things, it comes out nice and tasty without the peppers added in. Although I much prefer the bite of the peppers.
