DIY & A Little Love to You

Happy

Valentine's

Day!

 

 

To all the lovebirds in the world, hope you have a wonderful day!

 

Here's a super cute Fortune Cookie DIY!
You probably have all the things you need just laying around your home.
Felt, paper, hot glue gun, pipe cleaners, candies :)

 

First trace circles on your felt using a mug as a guide.

I used red, pink and burgundy felt.
 

Cut a pipe cleaner so you have a piece the size of the width of the circle.
Hot glue gun it onto your circle felt right across the center.

Write up some lovey sayings on small pieces of paper to tuck into each fortune cookie!

I picked cinnamon hearts and smarties to put inside my fortune cookies.

 

Fold your circle in half and glue the outside rim with all your goodies inside.

 

 Once your glue is set, bend your little half circles in the center...this creates a fortune cookie!!!

 

 

 Hope you all have a LOVELY day!

Cheers,
Messy

PL Peek ~ Our Christmas Morning!

I know for most of you, your Christmas morning is still 3 days away.

But since I am going away, Tally and I decided the 21st would be our "Christmas".

 

 

I made my mom's traditional Wife Saver (will share the recipe soon!) for breakfast and we opened our presents.

I have never in my life been so excited to give someone their present.

I just knew Tally would love it and be sooooo shocked!!!
 

 

It was an excellent morning just me, Tally and Chuck. :)

Bliss.

This is How I Cook & a DIY ~ Severed Fingers

I've seen these fingies all over Pinterest and in magazines.

I also saw them years ago because my friend Chi-cheena's mom used to make them all the time.

 

 

I used to bake cookies, or cupcakes or pops and take them to my friends houses on holidays.

Valentine's day, Christmas, St. Patty's.

I sorta lost my mojo last year when life went to crap...but today I am doing it again!!!

I think my friends will be excited to see the return of my holiday baking! :)

 

I have always wanted to try and make the fingers myself, and I'm not gonna lie...they TASTE great. Hahahaha...

Maybe they don't look that great.

My blood is not bloody looking!

 

But, oh well...a cookie is a cookie in my books and they taste delish!

 

Here's how I did it.

 

I got the recipe  from the Rachel Ray Website here.

 

 

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature

• 1 cup confectioners sugar

• 1 egg

• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

• 2 3/4 cups flour

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 cup sliced almonds

• Raspberry jam

Directions

1. In a large bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Mix in the sugar, egg and vanilla, then mix in the flour, baking powder and salt. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees . Using your hands and working quickly, roll a heaping tablespoon of dough into a finger shape. Place the fingers about 3 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Stick a sliced almond on 1 end of each for the fingernails. Use a table knife to make three crosswise knuckle marks in the middle of each cookie. Bake until lightly golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool.

 

3.  Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, cook the jam over low heat until it reaches a saucy consistency. Once liquefied, remove from the heat and pour into a small bowl; dip the severed end of each cookie into the sauce.

 

I packaged mine in these cute boxes I picked up at the Dollar Store.

I just laid some paper towel in the bottom and placed them in.

 

I also made some spooky ghost tags.

 

 

All I did was draw them out and cut the ghosts from white paper.

 

 

I drew eyes and a mouth on them,  and hole punched the top.

 

 

I wrote my message on the backs and signed them from Chuck Norris (my pup) like I always used to.

 

 

I will be off to deliver these the friendly units soon!

 

 

Happy Halloween everyone!

 

Cheers,

Messy

HALLOWEEN!!!!

Happy Halloween Everyone!!!

 

 

 

I love Halloween, and even though I didn't decorate or do much this year, I still love it.

 

Here are some Halloweeny Etsy stuff I love too!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

I hope you all have a very happy and safe Halloween with all your munchkins.

Looking forward to reading all the posts and seeing the costumes!

DIY ~ Kitty Ears

Halloween is a comin'!

I got to dress up on Saturday!

 

It was the dance studio's Chili Dinner & Show Fundraiser.

I went as a kitty and needed some ears.

 

What you need:

 

- cardboard

- black felt

-pink felt

- scissors

- glue gun

- headband

 

First cut out four matching triangles from the cardboard smaller than the size you want your ears to be.
 

 

Next, cut out 4 triangles from the black felt larger that your cardboard ones by 1/4 of in inch all around. Leave extra at the bottoms of the triangle.
 

 

Using your glue gun, glue a cardboard triangle inside two felt triangles NOT gluing along the bottom.
 

 

Cut out to small pink felt triangles and glue in the center of each of your ears.
 

  

Glue your ears onto the headband wrapping the extra felt around and securing underneath.
 

  

I present to you...

 

KITTY EARS!!! :)
 

 



Cheers,

Messy
