Mad About Martha: The Details
http://madaboutmartha.blogspot.com/2009/07/details.html
Wednesday, July 8, 2009. I've always appreciated Martha's eye for details. I love the fine touches that take something from normal to special. The Martha Stewart line at Michael's. And ideas from Martha's website. Make it easy to add sweet touches to the ordinary. Yesterday I hosted a garden tea for my daughter. A simple event and easy to throw together but filled with small details that made the girls feel special. No tea is complete without some Martha touches. Seen on Martha's site as well. This is a ...

Mad About Martha: Icing on the Cake
http://madaboutmartha.blogspot.com/2009/05/icing-on-cake.html
Tuesday, May 26, 2009. Icing on the Cake. Though I bake frequently, I've never been brave enough to make a cake with more than one layer. I was hosting a little dinner party this weekend, and I decided to give it a try. I didn't have enough time to whip up a recipe of Martha's, instead I used a box of cake mix and frosting from the grocery store. However, I did use some of Martha's round cake pans from Macy's. I made a yellow cake and filled it with homemade strawberry preserves and fresh strawberries.

Mad About Martha: The Hunt for Perfect Baby Announcements
http://madaboutmartha.blogspot.com/2009/03/hunt-for-perfect-baby-announcements.html
Monday, March 23, 2009. The Hunt for Perfect Baby Announcements. Earlier this month I embarked on a search for the perfect baby announcements. I wanted to create them myself online so I could have some control over the content and layout. I never imagined it would be so hard to find something cute that met those criteria! That’s when I remembered that KODAK Gallery has a line of Martha-approved card designs. I found exactly what I was looking for. Did I miss some news? Are congratulations in order? Subsc...

Saturday, March 14, 2009. Everyday Food: Southern Mac and Cheese. In these last few weeks of winter, I've been combing through my favorite cookbooks and magazines for recipes to work my oven as much as possible before the weather warms and cravings for thick, rich macaroni and cheese are replaced by crisp, fresh salads and juicy chunks of watermelon. Southern Mac and Cheese. The next step Martha suggests is to combine two torn slices of white bread in a food processor with two tablespoons of butter. ...

Mad About Martha: Silk Tie Easter Eggs
http://madaboutmartha.blogspot.com/2009/04/silk-tie-easter-eggs.html
Saturday, April 11, 2009. Silk Tie Easter Eggs. I've seen tie-dyed Easter eggs (eggs dyed with silk ties) so many places this year. It seems to be the hot idea for this Easter season. Martha featured this idea on a recent show (or so I'm told . I haven't yet watched that DVR'ed episode) and the instructions. Are found on the website. We were excited to unwrap the eggs and reveal the colors. While I was hoping for brightly colored eggs, we ended up with some neat designs. The eggs seem to take on ...I mad...

Mad About Martha: A Good Thing :: The Button-Up Window Shade
http://madaboutmartha.blogspot.com/2009/07/good-thing-button-up-window-shade.html
Thursday, July 16, 2009. A Good Thing : The Button-Up Window Shade. Here's where my confession comes in: I looked at the picture of the shade but didn't actually read the instructions so my shade differs slightly from Martha's. (For instructions, click here. Knowing that I wanted to leave my shade at one height (rather than opening it further to allow more sunlight in), I didn't use two rows of buttons, and I sewed buttonholes into my fabric rather than using twill tape loops to hook around the buttons.
