Modest Minnie Mouse

It's a new month, and time for a new pinny! 

I'm so excited to announce April's Pinny of the Month, Modest Minnie Mouse!

This pinafore is so simple, yet so fun and adorable! There's no mistaking that's Minnie Mouse either! ;) 

I just got these new mannequins too! I've named them Rosie and Clara (bet you can't guess what fandom those names came from, haha!) I'm a little sad that K won't be my beautiful little model anymore, but she is growing out of the 3T size, and to be honest, she sometimes isn't too fond of our photo shoots either. So a mannequin that I can take pictures of that doesn't mind just "standing around" all day just fits our needs better. 

Here's the 3T mannequin. It's fun how the pinafore can be worn two different ways, and still look like the same character!

This pinafore is now available in the shop! Check it out here!

Jammie Dodgers Recipe from Kaye's Cupboard

I have a very special "treat" for your all today! Kayla, from Kaye's Cupboard, is guest posting today a yummy, nerdy recipe that is perfect to go along with the new Timey-Wimey TARDIS Pinafore! I'm super excited, because Kayla just happens to be my awesome sister-in-law, she is a Doctor Who fan too, and her recipe just look delicious! I won't give away any "spoilers" though, so I'll now turn it over to Kayla!

Hello everyone! I'm Kayla from Kaye's Cupboard. I love to find and try out new foods, and I enjoy sharing delicious recipes with friends and family! I started my blog as a way to keep track of my family's most favorite dishes, focusing mainly on simple, fairly easy crowd-pleasers.

I have been so excited about this collaboration with my amazing sister-in-law!! Her enthusiasm about Doctor Who is a big reason why I started watching at all, and I'm very glad I did! 

Eleven once told the Daleks a Jammie Dodger was a self-destruct button. It didn't fool them for a minute, but that didn't stop him from enjoying the cookie anyway! I've heard of British "biscuits," but never actually tried any. This is an excellent place to start, it seems! 

Very similar to shortbread cookies, but without any of the dry, crumbly texture, these cookies are lighter and flakier with a slight buttery taste. These beauties can be filled with whatever jam your heart desires. We preferred strawberry over grape, but we will definitely try others! I think blackberry would be delicious! With a sprinkling of sugar on both halves of the cookie, the overall combination of textures and flavors is perfect!

Simplicity is such a great thing in this case, because it allows you to truly enjoy each component. It's making my mouth water, just thinking about it! My husband I both had the same idea- we want to make this cookie part of a holiday so that we have a reason to make it at least once a year...although I suspect we will make it much more often than that, especially since they are simple to make, and we always have the few ingredients they need!

Jammie Dodgers

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1  1/8 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 egg yolk
• 3 cup flour
• sugar, for sprinkling
• 1  1/2 cups jam

1. Combine butter and powdered sugar in a large bowl until fluffy. Add vanilla and egg yolk and mix with a wooden spoon. Mix in flour, then form dough in to a smooth ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate 1 hour.

2. Preheat oven to 375. Spray baking sheets with cooking spray. Place dough on a lightly floured surface, and roll to 3mm thickness. Cut out an even number of large circles with a cookie cutter. Use a small cookie cutter to cut out the center of half of the cookies.

3. Place them on the baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until they are a pale golden color. Be careful not to over-bake. Transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling, and sprinkle with sugar while still warm. Once they are completely cool, turn cookies with no cut-out upside down, spread about a teaspoon of jam on them, then top with cookie that has a cut-out. Cookies can be stored in an air-tight container.

Timey-Wimey TARDIS

Oh my goodness, oh my goodness, oh my GOODNESS!!!

I have just been BURSTING with excitement about finally being able to introduce this pinafore! I must say, I think it is my favorite so far! 

Introducing the Timey-Wimey TARDIS Pinafore!

Seriously, I fan-girl squealed when I saw this whole thing put together!

And then even more when I saw the entire ensemble on K! 

Bow ties are so cool, are they not? ;) 

So, here's the other part that I love. It can be made with an optional vinyl text of "BAD WOLF" on the back! I cannot tell you how awesome I think that is! ^_^

Who doesn't love a bit of graffiti? ;)

Guess what else I like? The windows are pockets! POCKETS! You know what that means?! It means this pinafore is BIGGER ON THE INSIDE! lol! 

Sorry for so many pictures, but there were just so many good ones! And I had to include the ones with the sonic screwdriver, of course. ;)

You can head on over to the shop to check out the listing here!

Allonsy!

Bold Batman and Reliable Robin

BATMAAAAN!!!!

Say hello to March's Pinnies of the Month, Bold Batman and Reliable Robin!

 These pinafores were sooooo much fun to make! I personally love how the back looks like a cape and that I was able to put points on the ends of the Batman one. I also just love the idea of a sister duo being able to wear these together. How cute would that be?!

(My friend Emma was kind enough to let us take pictures with her adorable little girl! She is so super cuuuute!)

Seriously, so fun to design!!! Check them out in the shop here!
