I just wanted to thank everyone who made a purchase from TOPSTITCH this past Tuesday. You helped us raise over $100 to donate to Mollie’s Fund. Me & Yoyo really appreciate it.

Stay tuned at the end of the month for more on April’s charity, Let’s Bring ‘Em Home!
On the second of every month this year, I’m going to be asking you, my loyal readers, to do something. It’s nothing that will drastically change your life in any way, or your financial situation, but it will help others. And potentially, in some cases (like this month) help to save a life.
Every month in [...]
I just wanted to make a quick post and let everyone know that 100% of the purchases made today at Yoyo’s TOPSTITCH webstore will go to the Adelphi NY Statewide Breast Cancer Hotline & Support Program in my mom’s name. As you may or may not know, my mom is an almost 4 year survivor [...]
Before I go ANY further with this post, I have to show you all a gift I received from my friend Yoyo (You remember her? She runs topstitch.org and has an Artfire store? Hayley Williams from Paramore got some of her handmade stuff at a meet & greet? She’s totally awesome and has her own [...]
This recipe is courtesy of an old schoolmate & friend of mine from the wonderful Sacred Heart Academy, aka SHA YES (don’t make me burst out into the school song…). Brianne entered this Martha Stewart recipe in my giveaway, and it sounded so freakin’ delicious and really, I had so many apples here, I had [...]
Well, here we are. The Cupcake Rehab 2nd Birthday Giveaway officially ended on October 12th, but things have been a bit looney here what with Breast Cancer Awareness month, Halloween coming up and all the baking and stuff I’ve had to do, so it’s taken us a while to choose a winner. It was decided [...]
Awhile back, in a post I mentioned the Adopt-A-Blogger program that was going on, and introduced you all to my blog-adoptee, a.k.a. my “blog daughter,” Amanda at Is This Thing On? Remember that? If not please go back and re-read it. You may be quizzed on this.
Amanda in her cap & gown! She recently graduated… [...]
Thanks to Dine & Dish and the Adopt-a-Blogger program, I am now considered a “mentor” of sorts, and I have “adopted” a newbie blogger!
(yeah I know… I can’t believe anyone thinks I’m a “mentor” either…)
The idea is the pair up an experienced blogger with a new blogger, and have the experienced blogger “mentor” the “newbie” [...]

Okay maybe not schnitzel with noodles. I’m thinking of that song Julie Andrews sang in ‘The Sound of Music.’ But definitely Moo Cards and eyeballs. Today I got two packages in the mail. One from the wonderful Lyns (Sweet Cuppin’ Cakes Bakery & Cupcakery Supplies) and one from Foodbuzz. I was anticipating getting Lyn’s package, [...]
One of my very best friends, Samantha, who I don’t get to see nearly as often as I’d like and miss dearly, sent me an e-mail of a recipe called ‘Minute chocolate mug cake.’ ‘Mug’ as in coffee mug, not the old timey term for someones face.. although why you’d think that I don’t know. [...]
