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.

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!

Food and Stuff

Craving a pumpkin pie milkshake. Never tried it before but it looks delish. Don't you just love A Beautiful Mess? If you haven't heard of it, you should go take a peek. Cool recipes, tutorials, outfits--everything. Plus, I've always wanted to drink out of a jar.

I remember I once went to this great place in SF for crepes. Strawberry and kiwi crepe: sweet strawberries and kiwis, dollops of sweet whipped cream, and a light (well, maybe not) dusting of powdered sugar. So good. I want one. Another recipe.

Also, I'm looking for small, quick projects I can make with scrap yarn. Any suggestions? (coin purse pattern)

And, a very crummy picture of a non-crummy bowl of strawberries. See ya.

Chocolate Chippy Scones

Just a quick post to express my love for chocolate. And scones. And chocolate chip scones. My dad made these Friday and I'm having 'em everyday for breakfast with warm milk. You should totes make some (lol, I love saying slangs like that. It sounds stupid coming from me, but...). 

Peace out, homes.

Homemade Twix Bars

Halloween's coming! Don't these Twix bars look delicious?

Come back on Monday for a new tutorial!

Inspiration of the Week & other things...

Flat iron wavy hair tutorial.

Gorgeous ombre dress. I want to attempt to make this (wish me luck).

I also made some pumpkin shaped rice crispies with my dear duddy [daddy]. So basically you make rice crispies, grease a cookie cutter with butter, and cut them out! Mmm... they make me so happy. Along with chocolatey Halloween candy. :)

Pluuuuusss... I got the new Percy Jackson book! Woohoo!

And have you ever had focaccia bread with olive oil and garlic? It's delicious. You should try it.

Magic Bars! (and mango Hello Kitty pudding)

Tonight we made 2 trays of magic bars! Yummy... Full of chocolatey and butterscotchy goodness. One tray has coconut, the other nada. Who needs coconut, anyway? Not I.On the subject of food, my Auntie M. gave me some mango pudding in the shape of Hello Kitty. My dad told me to eat her mouth off first so she wouldn't scream... I felt bad eating her after that, and it hurt, but hey, you do what you gotta do.

Here's the recipe for these Amazing Magic Bars. You can find the basic recipe anywhere; this is the one that we use with modifications. You can do a basic search on google for the original recipe. I didn't make this up of course, we have this little tiny booklet with recipes.

Ingredients:

2 cups choco chips (we use 1 c of choco, 1 c of butterscotch)

1 can of sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)

• 1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted (1 stick)
• 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1 1/3 cups flaked coconut

Heat oven to 350 degrees F (325 degrees for glass dish). Coat 13 x 9 inch baking pan with no-stick cooking spray. Combine graham cracker crumbs and butter. Press into bottom of prepared pan.

Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over crumb mixture.

Mmmm... look at those silky sweet ribbons... try and get a lick from the can. If your mom's like mine, she'll catch you and will take away the can.

Layer evenly with chocolate chips, coconut, and butterscotch chips . Press down firmly with a fork.

Bake 25 minutes or until lightly browned.

Cool. Cut into bars. Store covered at room temperature.
