That's Crafty Thursday

I really shouldn't post this each week, I then end up being WAY behind on my craft project list, because I keep adding to it! What's a girl to do? Keep website surfing I guess...

Here are my picks for this week:

I must be into scarves lately, because I fell hard for this pleated scarf
at Ruffles and Stuff! It's officially on the project list...

but take a look at this adorable owl.

Website Wednesday - Simply Recipes

Wednesday must be my busy day, it always seems to pass by and I forget to post!

So sorry. I feel kinda crazy scatter-brained this week!

Onto today's website.
My friend Savannah had this link on her blog and I decided to check it out.
It is now one of my favorite websites to get recipes from!
Nothing will explain it better than the title:They are all SO simple! And delicious! I have yet to find one I don't like.
So head on over and visit Elise and try her food!

~Oh and sorry about no giveaway, the lady at CSN never got back to me. Maybe next week!~

Tutorial Tuesday - Re-purposed T-shirt Ruffle Scarf

Do you have a T-shirt you don't want to part with?
I did and decided to put it to good use!
Introducing my
Re-purposed T-shirt Ruffle Scarf Tutorial:

I began by cutting up two old t-shirts I had laying around.

I cut them 6 inches wide and 16 1/2 inches long

Next I sewed them on the 6 inch end, right sides together, alternating the colors.

It ended up looking like this:

Next I set my Tension on my sewing machine to 9,
the Width to 0, and the length to 4.
Basically everything as long and wide as you can get it.
This will form the ruffle on your scarf.
Begin stiching all the way down one side of the scarf.
Don't back stitch, and be sure to leave plenty of thread at the end to pull or adjust the ruffle.

Once you are finished your scarf will look like this:

Next I folded up the ends, and cut the excess thread off.

I then reset the thread and ran a stitch along the edges to complete the scarf.

You're done!!
Isn't it adorable?! Of course you can always make it as long or short as you want,
remember to account for the ruffling.
Mine is small and perfect to wear under a coat or jacket.

I can't wait to see what you come up with!
Be sure to email me your photos at adailypost{at}yahoo{dot} com!

Also one last thing, I have an exciting giveaway happening tomorrow.

Make It Monday - Apple Spice Donut Muffins

Happy Monday everyone!
I apologize for not posting on Friday, but I really didn't have any completed projects to post.
I am planning on getting a bunch of crafting done this week,
so be prepared for some totally awesome and completed projects this Friday!

Onto today's recipe.
Yesterday was my friend's birthday.
I wanted to make her something sweet and delicious,
and didn't want to do the same old, cupcake or cake.
So I decided to try my hand at a recipe I saw on Food Network,
but do it my way...

The recipe is an Apple Spice Bread recipe, with diced apples added,
and then turned into a Donut Muffin by adding butter and sugar to the outside.
They are HEAVEN in a little muffin.
Here's the recipe:


Apple Spice Donut Muffins
1 1/4 c. applesauce
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. vegetable oil
2 eggs
3 Tbs. milk
2 c. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp allspice
1 1/2 cups apples, diced very small
1 stick of butter melted

Cinnamon/Sugar Mixture:
8 Tbs. sugar
1 1/2 tbs cinnamon


- Heat oven to 350 degrees, and grease your muffin pan.
- Combine applesauce, sugar, oil, eggs, and milk. Mix well.
- Add flour baking soda, baking powder, nutmeg, salt, and allspice.
Mix until smooth.
- Scoop and fill muffin tin 2/3 of the way full for each muffin.
- Bake for 25 min, or until muffins are golden brown.
{Here comes the "donut" part!}
-Once they are finished and still warm,
dip the muffins in melted butter and then roll in cinnamon and sugar mixture.
-Let them sit until they dry.
Enjoy!
