When summer time comes around there’s only one place I want to be……Phish tour!  This summer started out with a bang with Phish’s summer opener at Bethel Woods.  My good friend Steph and I had a great time selling Fishman Weezy Bands on lot.  A  super sweet  customer, Rosie, snapped a pic.  Good times:)

I’ll be selling Weezy Bands at a few more Phish shows this summer.  Here’s where you can find me:

Friday June 10th @ Susquehanna Bank Center in Camden, NJ

Sat. June 11th and Sun. June 12 @ Merriweather Post Pavillion in Columbia, MD

Fri. July 1st- Sun. July 3rd @ Super Ball IX in Watkins Glen, NY

Not going to any of these shows?  You can always get a Fishman Weezy Band at my Etsy shop.

And now I’ll bid you a fond farewell with a pic of the guy who ran onstage at Bethel.  I hope he enjoyed his 15 minutes of fame:)

Happy Easter everyone!  It was my job to bring cupcakes to this year’s Easter party.  Cupcakes are tasty, but I really wanted to do something different this year.  I’ve been seeing blogs featuring cake pops for over a year now and thought I’d give them a try.

What is a cake pop you say?  Basically its a mixture of cake and icing dipped in candy melts.  You can find the tutorial by the creater of cake pops here on Bakerella:  http://www.bakerella.com/hope-these-put-a-smile-on-your-face/ Take some time to browse her blog.  People get really creative with these things.

Was this a quick and easy project?  No.  Was it super fun for the little and me to do together?  Yes!  What 4 year old wouldn’t love mushing together cake and icing with their bare hands?

Did you do anything creative for Easter?  Please share in the comments.  I’d love some ideas for next year.

This morning I am recovering from an amazing weekend in NYC.  I got to see the city and go to Phish concerts 3 days in a row!  My Fishman Weezy Bands sold out in one day.  I still get excited when I see someone wearing one:)

One of my favorite podcasts, This Week On Lot, gave Weezy Bands a shout out.  If you’re a Phish phan you gotta check them out.  They discuss jam bands and the lot scene.  Good stuff:)

Lastly I got to go fabric shopping in the city.  What an experience.  Rolls upon rolls of fabric jammed in to tiny spaces.  I had to dig, but I found some bold unique fabrics.  I can’t wait to share them with you soon.

Hope you all had a great New Year’s Eve and best wishes for an amazing New Year.

If you’ve never made toffee before don’t be scared:)  This was my first time and it was super easy.  Keep a close eye on your candy thermometer and you’ll be fine.

Ingredients

• 2 cups butter
• 2 cups white sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup finely chopped almonds

Directions

-In a large heavy bottomed saucepan, combine the butter, sugar and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the butter is melted. Allow to come to a boil, and cook until the mixture becomes a dark amber color, and the temperature has reached 285 degrees F (137 degrees C). Stir occasionally.

-While the toffee is cooking, cover a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.

-As soon as the toffee reaches the proper temperature, pour it out onto the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the chocolate over the top, and let it set for a minute or two to soften. Spread the chocolate into a thin even layer once it is melted. Sprinkle the nuts over the chocolate, and press in slightly. Putting a plastic bag over your hand will minimize the mess.

-Place the toffee in the refrigerator to chill until set. Break into pieces, and store in an airtight container.

**I made two changes.  I didn’t use any almonds.  I also used milk chocolate instead of semi sweet.

Introducing the Fishman dress wedding garter.  A sweet bride to be and fellow Phish phan requested one so she could include her favorite band in her wedding.  For the non phans out there this is the dress the drummer wears to the concerts:

I used a wedding garter tutorial on Mauby’s blog for the basics.  I think it turned out great.  Wish I would have thought of this for my wedding:)  Congrats to the bride to be and I hope you have a lovely wedding.

Yesterday was quite an interesting day.  We sold our home, but there were a few “hiccups” that prevented us from settling on our new home and moving.  We are staying with my inlaws so I’m not actually homeless, but you get the idea:)

The shop has already been closed for a few days so I’m putting foot down and saying enough is enough.  Thanks to a temporary sewing studio in the kitchen Weeza Wear is back open for business!!!

I don’t have all my Weezy bands listed yet, so let me know if you don’t see what you want.  I probably have it.  To say thanks for your patience I’m offering:

10% Off Everything in the Shop!!!

Simply type the code “Weezas Back” in the notes to seller when you check out.  Thanks again and let the holiday shopping at Weeza Wear begin:)

After waiting in limbo for a year, we’re finally going to move.  I am so excited.  We’re living out of boxes right now, not that I mind.  I’m actually typing this on a laptop on a box while I’m sitting on a futon mattress on the floor:)

One of the things I’m looking forward to the most is decorating the new house.  I couldn’t wait to buy my first decoration so I had to scoop up this piece from The Steel Fork.

This sign is going to be perfect in my kitchen.  Taste is also the name of a Phish song so that’s an extra added bonus.

All signs from the Steel Fork are made from recycled farm machinery.  Ben and Kate, the owners of the Steel Fork, are also fellow members of Team HiP.  Team HiP is a group of Etsy sellers from Pennsylvania.

Before I go I also had to share a countdown poster my little one made. Gotta love how the thing she is most excited about is a new wall.  Ahhh, to be a 4 yr old:)
