A friend of mine asked me to help her make two little tutus for little girls who LOVE fairies.  So we researched how to make no-sew tutus and this is what we came up with  



We bought light pink, fuschia, and green tulle from Wal-mart. We also added ribbon that was silver and sparkly.  What little girl wouldn't like a tutu!

I've been checking back to "More Art, Less Craft" to see if another Photography Challenge has come up again.  I'm disappointed because I'd like to see more people's work and participate.

Also, why isn't there some drawing or painting challenges?

Thanksgiving has come early to our house this August 

Our roommates parents gave us a turkey so we decided to invite a bunch of friends over and bring their own thanksgiving dish.  I decided to make my favorite bread that I usually only make one time a year.




Here's the recipe if interested:

2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda

Mix all together, stir in:

3/4 cup orange juice (I like to use light syrup from a can of mandarin oranges)
1 tsp grated orange peel (optional)
2 TBS shortening
1 egg well beaten

When well blended add:

1 1/2 cups chopped cranberries
1/2 cup chopped nuts



Pour into greased 9 x 5 inch loaf pan

Bake for 55 minutes @ 350 degrees or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Cool on a rack for 15 minutes, then remove from pan and allow to cool completely, wrap and store overnight.


If anyone tries this recipe let me know how it turns out 

This is the second hat that I've crocheted.  This is definitely one of my new favorite hats. 








Thanks for looking! 

So I've been crocheting scarves right before x-mas and then stop once gift giving is over.  I stopped crocheting because scarves were all that I really knew how to make.  So I decided to try and make a hat.... it's definitely not what I exactly wanted, but it's a hat  

Also, I just bought the glass head recently at Pier 1... a lot of people think that it's creepy, but I thought that it was neat.  It's also 100% recycled glass!  












Thanks for looking!
