Chocolate Chip Oreo Cookies!

Yep, you read that right, it's a chocolate chip cookie with Oreo cookies deliciously nestled in every bite! YUMMO!! Again, a Pinterest find! ;) For the complete recipe, go here :) She has some amazing recipes to satisfy any sweet tooth! I need a party to go to so I can make these again!!



nibbling on the dough was enough to shut me up


make these now! :)

Swiffer Cover!!

This little dandy is going to be a money SAVER!!! I have to admit I have not used it yet, but will very soon :) I got the idea from Pinterest and if you want the full tutorial, go here. :) It was soo easy to make and a great beginner project if your just starting to sew (like me!). The BEST thing about this cover is that you can reverse it (by putting velcro or button's on both ends) and then WASH it!! Yay!


Here is the view from the top. Instead of buttons, I used velcro to attach the two flaps and then added a little bling :)



This is what it looks like underneath. Ok, my lines aren't very straight, but they are getting better lol


Side view. I like how it's not too thin of a terrycloth, but not too thick.

Felt Hair Bow

Ok, so these ADORABLE little bows take all of 5 minutes to make. I don't like making a hair bow or anything DIY that is too complicated, so this little Pinterest find really caught my interest!
*For full tutorial go HERE


Close up of my little princess wearing one :)


Yep, she's adorable! and she has just enough hair for the alligator clip to hold in place!


I don't know why I feel the need to *bling or *bejewel everything and in this case, less is more. So I'm sticking to just the felt next time :) (These can be made out of other fabrics too, not just felt! Try leather!)

And just FYI, you can make one in every color of felt that Hobby Lobby, Joann's or Michael's has in stock and STILL only have spent 5 bucks! (one sheet of felt is about 25 cent's!)

Custom Camera Strap!


*Updated picture with my sweet friend modeling her new camera strap!*





Here are photo's of the one I made and I absolutely LOVE the fabric! You see, you can buy these cute fabric bundles at Hobby Lobby or Joann's for just a few bucks after a 40% or 50% off coupon! Each fabric square in (this) bundle is 18"x21" which gives me plenty to work with and make a few small projects out of!

*If you want the full tutorial then click on this link :)


This is only 3 out of the 5 fabric pieces that came from the bundle *super cute and cheery*


The 3 pieces (measured and cut to fit current strap) sewed end to end and then pressed


Ironed on fusible interfacing (doesn't have to be perfect) and then each "end" pinned down


Sew the pinned down ends....


and then fold lengthwise, sew down the long side (making a tube), flip outside-in, iron and there you have it! All you have to do now is thread it over your camera strap! How cute?!?!

Buffalo Bites!


Ah! Wonderful Pinterest! We got groceries today and I had nothing planned, so a quick jump on Pinterest and I came across this recipe! Now, instead of baking them I did fry yes, I did..because I NEVER fry our foods (don't ask where my badonkadonk came from...ok it's from sweet's, anywho..) and instead of cornflakes for the breading I used crushed up TARGET brand ritz crackers :) They turned out really good and my dear sweet husband was really enjoying them! .....keep reading after jump :)
