Back Log

 
 Chocolate Chip Cookies:
No, I did not get these on Pintrest and I'm not giving out the recipe, I just wanted to show how I've perfected my own cookies!  I think I nailed it this time, and I documented the changes and we are good to go.  My best tasting and best looking.  I'm excited.  I gave these to the new neighbors who move in across the street.


Kid towel with built in head towel:

I made one for Kendra and I used a rag not a hand towel, it seemed kind of small as she's getting older.  The hand towel is a little big but still better.  I got these towels from Ikea.
 Step one-
place hand/head towel in the center right sides together, pin in place. Sew along edge.
 step two-
fold towel in half, right sides together and pin top of hand/head towel, and sew.
 Walla!

Hem Shorts:

I saw this for just making long pants fit you, but I had a pair of pants that the knees got holes in.  I cut them off above the hole, the cut off and inch and a half of the bottom. I sewed them together and got this.  Now someone more experienced would be able to do a much cleaner job, but this works for me.

Menu Frames:
I actually saw a smaller simpler version of this at my neighbor's house and looked it up on Pintrest and was disappointed to not find many ideas/recreations.  So I went to Ikea for some cute cheap frames and got out my cricket. I gave one to my other neighbor as a thank you gift and her friend saw it and bought two from me for gifts, then her Mother saw it and wants three.  I'm selling them for $20.  I love them and it helps with the weekly problem of "What do you want for dinner?".
