The List

I know what your thinking.
A random post.
What's going on here at ADP?
I decided to get more involved with this little blog of mine.
I want to make it more fun.
A little more of a look into
my love of all things crafty, yummy, and beautiful!

This post is about my list.
What list you ask?
The PROJECT List.
It is never ending.
It is ever growing.
I hope to start slimming it down.
And soon!

So just for my own record keeping,
here is the list:

Project List:
- Singed Flower Headbands
- Practice making the Cookies for my kids birthdays.
- Make my own Candlesticks.
- Make THESE with Dallin's drawings, to decorate the playroom.
-Make Rylee a bubble skirt.
-Make Dallin a tool belt.
-Make me a travel pouch.
-Make me some earrings to put in that travel pouch.
I have a bunch more, but for now it's a start.
Wish me luck! I will be posting on Super Saturday the ones I finish,
so...stay tuned!

Singed Flower
I am sure many of you know how to make these.
I have seen them everywhere and wanted some
for me and some for my baby girl.
Here is my tutorial!

Supply List:
-Organza fabric made of 100% nylon, rayon, or polyester
(you don't need much, so scraps will work)
-Scissors
-Lighter
-Needle and Thread
-Center Embellishment

Step 1) - Cut 4 circles out of the fabric.
I cute mine with one large and made the other three slightly smaller than eachother.Step 2) - Melt the edges of each piece using your lighter.
(The longer you heat a spot, the more curl you will get,
careful not to light it on fire)

Step 3) - Stack the pieces on top of eachother.

Step 4) - Take your needle and thread and put a stitch in the middle.

Step 5) - Tie it off in the back and embellish how you would like!

In the very first photo is my finished product,
I added a bobby pin to the back for fun hair accessory!
There are SO many other uses for these flowers.

I LOVE Red Velvet Cake.
I don't make it very often,
because I would eat the whole thing.

I thought I would share the recipe.

Red Velvet Cake

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 cups sugar
1 Tablespoon cocoa
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups oil
1 cup buttermilk
1 Tablespoon vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 oz. red food coloring

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Grease and flour two 8 inch cake pans.
• Lightly stir eggs in a medium bowl with a wire whisk. Add remaining liquid ingredients and stir together with whisk until blended. Set aside.
• Place all the dry ingredients in your mixing bowl and stir together really good with another wire whisk.
• Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix on medium-high for about a minute or until completely combined.
• Pour into cake pans and then drop the pans on the counter a few times to release any air bubbles.
• Bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
• After about ten minutes, remove from pans and cool completely on a wire rack. I also cover in plastic wrap while the cakes cool.
• Then make the frosting.
