Update:

A couple days after I made my fondant cake (see other post), I decided to use the left over fondant to make cupcakes! They turned out really cute and were really delicious! This time I rolled out the fondant really thin so it was not as sweet! I only wished that I had enougb fondant left to make small poka-dots on the top of the cup cakes. Oh well maybe next time!


My first post on this blog was about my pop can tab bracelet. Well I had more time and I made a full belt! I think it looks great! I can't wait to wear it out!

Stop Motion.

I have been playing around with Stop motion animation! It is super fun, but it takes a good amount of time. This is just a little test of it. Something small. Hope you enjoy it! Tell me what you think.

Step Stool.

When I was in High School I came across an abandoned Stepping stool someone made. It was in bad condition with screws poking through the top and a wood burning mess on the top. However that did not stop me in taking it in and to see what I can do to it.
Here is a picture of my new Stool!
I fixed the screws, and sanded down the top. I painted the top with flowers! I think it looks great.

Value Village

I love going to Value Village. There is something about old and used items that gets me inspired. Last year, while shopping there, I came across an amazing collapsible chair for only two dollars! I had to buy it, and I did. At the time my only way of transportation was the bus, and once again people were giving me strange looks.
My mistake was going over to a friends house before taking it home. Upon which I forgot the chair, and there it stayed for almost a full year.
Finally I got my chair back a couple months ago. I started painting it and finally I have finished it.
I think it is a great design! Tell me what you think!

I just recently went back to Value Village and bought another chair. This one does not fold up and is very heavy. I`m thinking about wood burning the whole thing with random designs. It is going to take a very long time. Hopefully you will see it on my blog in the future!

Pizza Fun!


This is a recipe for a really good homemade pizza crust, that has no yeast in it! It was super good, and I really recommend making it!
 Ingredients:
- 2 cups Flour
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp Oregano 
- 1/2 Garlic Powder
- 2 dashes Cayenne Pepper
- 2/3 cup Water
- 1 Tbsp Cooking oil

Steps:  
Preheat over to 400 degrees and prepare a pizza pan with non-stick spray. I have a pizza stone and did not have to spray the stone.
Mix dry ingredients together.
Mix in wet ingredients. I noticed when making the dough that it was very dry looking, and that lots of flour was left behind; don't worry about that.
Lightly cover your counter with some flower. Knead the dough 6-8 times. Again the dough will look dry just keep following the steps. In the end it tastes great!
Roll out your dough. As you can see I am horrible at making a circle out of dough and bet you can do way better.
Place your dough on pizza pan or stone, and rube some oil on the top to make sure the crust does not get soggy from the sauce. Than add any toppings you like on the top. Depending on how thick you made your crust, cook for 18-20 minutes.

These are my finished products. These pizza's tasted so good! Make this crust and tell me what you think!
