Knit circle shirt - easiest top ever! So simple.

I used a knit that I love from Hobby Lobby (you might recognize 

the fabric as I made an infinity scarf in the lighter blue last month).

Materials:

1 yd knit fabric (or something stretchy)

Sewing machine

Fitted t-shirt (for measurements)

 Directions:

 Fold your fabric in half so it is wider than it is tall. If you are using stripes like me, make sure when you fold it over the lines match up. Next cut, pin, and sew! If you're like me, then a picture is easier to understand. So take a look at picture below:

You're going to cut along the dotted lines. Make sure you do not cut the fold though - except for the neckline. I did a v-cut in the front and barely a dip in the back. I hemmed them for a more finished look (optional). I also hemmed the bottom of my shirt, which includes only between the lines sewn (again, optional). Easiest shirt ever! Have fun!

Be Mine

Burlap and Chevron Heart

 

 

Materials:

1/3 yd Burlap

Scrap of Chevron or other fabric

Wal-mart bags or fiberfill

Black thread

 Wire hanger

Directions:

Fold scrap of fabric in half and cut out a heart (half since it is folded). Place it on top of a larger square piece of burlap. Stitch around the edge of the heart leaving a 3-4 inch hole, so it is now one piece with the burlap. Fill the chevron with fiberfill or Wal-Mart bags (I used about 8-9 bags) using a butter knife to stuff them up in the top. Sew the hole shut once you're happy with the fluffiness. Next take another square piece of burlap and place underneath. Stitch around the heart about an inch away for a border. Cut the burlap in the shape of the heart and fray the edges with your fingers. Take your wire hanger and bend or cut so the hook is gone. Poke each end through your burlap at the top and bend to each other. Bend or cut access off. Tie a ribbon and hang over a door using a command hook on the back!

Inspired by a friend on FB I decided to make my own! It's a little bigger than a boys' basketball.

Guac-a-mole

Guacamole fan? I sure am.

Here is my favorite recipe!

Ingredients:

3 avocados

Great Value's Garlic and Lime Salsa

1/2 of an onion

1 TBLS margarine

Lemon juice

Salt

Garlic Powder

Paprika

Directions:

Dice your onions and throw them in a saucepan of melted margarine - sautee until liking (I like mine extra caramelized so they were pretty brown.) While they are cooking, cut and mash 3 avocados in a bowl. Add two-three spoons of salsa, a dash of salt, a couple shakes of garlic powder and paprika, and a few big squirts of lemon juice. Place in fridge. Once your onions are done, place them in another bowl and into the freezer to cool off before adding them to the guac. After about 5-10 minutes, add onions to guacamole and enjoy! 

Don't forget to keep at least 2 of the avocados pits!! 

Place them in the bowl with the guacamole, this is help it last longer and not brown!
