Simple St. Patricks Day Celebration

Well, St. Patrick's Day is upon us! We have been working hard to meet the demand of sewing Shamrock gift items for some Lucky Irish families. Now, we need to get ourselves ready.

I wrote my grocery list last night and need to get that done today. The meal is the simple part, it's the decorating that I love! I plan to set my table with a white table cloth, green shamrock table decorations, candles, and my fine china. My daughter plans to make rainbow cupcakes, and I plan to make Irish Soda Bread as a gift to my guests.

The Soda Bread recipe I have makes one huge loaf. But, on these occasions I like to split that into four small loaves. After the bread has cooled, I wrap each one in brown paper and tie it with cord. Then I make a paper shamrock as a tag. Very simple, very cute, appropriate and always appreciated!

While we're not your typical Irish family, we do enjoy a good St. Pat's dinner.

St. Patricks' Sweatshirt

March Madness continues. We created this sweatshirt for a Lucky little one who is attending her first St. Patrick's Day Parade in NYC this year. Of course, I can't tell what March will bring, but I'm guessing that a sweatshirt is always handy on 5th Avenue. I can almost hear the marching bands and bagpipe players walking past St. Patricks Cathedral. The sites and sounds of NYC never get old! Wishing a very happy outing for this Lucky Little Leprechaun!

Bib for the wee one

How can you make a baby more kissable? Put an "Irish" kiss me, kiss me, kiss me bib on them!
Great gift for any baby, Irish or otherwise!
This bib was done as a custom order, we would love to have the opportunity to make something special for you....come in and browse. We are all about the best personalized gifts!

St. Patrick Hostess Gift

Hostess Gifts, the most fun of all! As you might have guessed by now, I love making and giving gifts! We started our business based on great affordable gifts.

We call these tablecloth decorations, and they are used to decorate a festive table setting for a holiday. Here I made personalized shamrocks for a friend who is gracious enough to host a St. Pat's Parade party. Our neighborhood hosts an annual St. Patrick's Day Parade, and as you might imagine; it's a BIG party! My friend is a wonderful host, and it's always a great day to be with friends!

St. Patrick's dessert

Awesome St. Patrick's Day dessert!!!!
A fruit rainbow - Each fruit is cut up and placed in a row arched like a rainbow, one on top of the other.
Each color of the rainbow is a different fruit, start with red and work down to purple. Red: strawberries, orange: cantaloupe or oranges, yellow: pineapple, green: grapes, blue: blueberries, and indigo (or purple): purple pears, or deep red grapes. On one end of the rainbow put mini marshmallows and on the other end put a fruit dip in a "pot" and tint it yellow for gold. My favorite fruit dip is a small container of strawberry cream cheese mixed together with a small jar of fluff. Just stir together in a bowl, it does take a few minutes to combine...but it's worth it!

Irish words of wisdom

March Madness continues....
A favorite Irish Proverb to ponder:"put silk on a goat, and it's still a goat".
A Favorite Irish Poem: "May flowers always line your path and sunshine light your day. May songbirds serenade you every step along the way. May a rainbow run beside you in a sky that's always blue. And may happiness fill your heart each day your whole life through.”
Gotta love the Irish! Slainte! (cheers!)
