A Few Things...

Don't have many creative things happening... But I made one of these in a red, burgundy-ish color. Isn't it so cute? Go here for the tutorial.

Recently one of my friends gave me a chocolate crinkle cookie, and it was sooo good. I can't help but think about it at least twice a day. It was chewy and fudgy and scrumdiddlyumptious. So I found some recipes...

I might have shown you this one before... (recipe)

Plus I also want to make homemade MARSHMALLOWS!!! Spongy, springy, soft ones. 

Also, at the moment I think convertible hat-cowls are pretty cool right now even though it's getting hotter.

Howlcat Pattern $5.50

Free crochet pattern-could easily be used as a guide to knit in the round, or even with 2 straight needles

I'm super ready for summer!

Three Things

The BEST homemade chocolate cream pie I've EVER TASTED. I also had some delicious apple pie, homemade as well.

Some pineapple frozen yogurt. Lighting was gross. :p Wearing my wire ring (tutorial).

Cool blue bottle, used for decoration in a store.

Byeee.

Almost Here...

What's here, you ask? (and even if you don't ask I'm gonna pretend you did) Why, Easter of course! It's tomorrow! We died some eggs yesterday. Fun! :) We drew on them with crayon, did some tie-dye, stripes, polka dots, etc.

My favorite egg. The colors aren't egg-xactly accurate (lame pun, I know).

Happy Easter, everyone!

Update + Recipes I Want to Try

Sorry I'm a bad blogger. April Fool's! I'm the greatest blogger EVER! Lol, jk. But seriously, sorry. I'm lazy and busy and... Yep. So I won't be checking in as often as I used to (which wasn't even a lot, but more than i do now). Sorry. Anyways, here are some recipes I wanna try from my Pinterest board.

1. Peach crisp. I made this once with my mumma and it was sooooooo good.

4. Fudge cookies. Seems easy. And scrumptious. And healthy, obviously.

5. Soft pretzels. I love soft pretzels. If you made me these you'd be my BFF. Maybe. Or maybe I'd just take the pretzels and run.

Thanks for lookin'!

Version Aye-Aye-Aye: Braided Headband Tutorial

Made another one. I like experimenting. Version aye-aye-aye--or, version III. 3, if you don't know Roman numerals. For this one, it's a double strand, and it seems to hold up my hair better, because there's a strand for the back and a strand to hold up the front. No elastic. Just some really stretchy jersey.

Sorry for the crummy photos. I use my ipod cam because it's convenient.

I used some 60" wide jersey. Cut 3 1/2" strips. So you have 3 strips that are 1/2" x 60." Tack the ends together with a few stitches or a safety pin and braid till you run out. Tack/safety pin the ends so it doesn't unravel. Now loop it around your head twice, stretching it tightly. Overlap the ends, and handsew where they all cross.

Now, using the excess braid, loop it around and pull through to make a loose knot. Repeat till there are 3-4 loose knots. Now pull the excess braid through the knots to the opposite side, and pull all the knots tight. Trim excess braid. You can tack it in place with a few stitches, if you wish, and you're done!

And, just 'cuz...

I

U.

Yes I do.

And also because I think my mumma's buttery cheese sandwiches are delicious and need some spotlight...

Thanks for reading!

Inspired

I'm starting to become more inspired again. Sewing thoughts are swirling through my brain... (yes, I do think about sewing before going to sleep; don't judge)

I saw this poncho at Nordstroms the other day. Looks like a slice of pie (or piece of cake. whatever you want to call it).

I want to make this. I love the drape-drape of it.

Big, fat, green grapes. Just because.
