So a few weeks ago I got a taste for a chai tea latte. Yes I know it’s hot but you can drink this cold, too, if you wanted. I try to go to the site where I wrote the blog and low and behold the site is no longer. Imagine my disappointment. Since that site doesn’t exist any longer I’ve decided to bring it and a few of my other blogs from them over here. Please note that this recipe is a concentrate and is NOT made to be drunken on it’s own. It’s made so that when milk is added the flavor of the chai tea isn’t lost. I originally wrote this circa December 2013.

How to Cut a T-Shirt: Slashes with a Hood
A couple weeks ago OnlineFabricStore.net held a mini contest on Instagram for a “wicked good fabric” t-shirt. Lucky for me I was chosen as one of the winners! About a week later I received my package and in it was the t-shirt AND a reuable shopping bag, some beautiful quatrefoil fabric and a package of flowering seeds. Of course, me being me, I couldn’t just let the shirt be. I found some cute fabric (on sale even) and decided to make my first cut t-shirt. This will be part 1 in a series with how I decorate my flower pot and what I do with my fabric being parts 2 and 3.
What you’ll need:
T-shirt
Knit fabric
Scissors
Pins
Measuring tape
Chalk (I used regular chalk. It won’t hurt the shirt and you won’t see any lines once your done.)
NOTE: 1/4 inch seam allowances are used throughout most of this tutorial.

I made egg rolls for the first time a few weeks ago and they turned out AMAZING. However, I will have to find a new sauce with which to eat them because sweet and sour sauce just has too much salt (I’ve been cutting out processed food and I can taste the salt in SO MANY things now). Since I had a package of egg roll wraps left over I decided to do something else with them and came up with this. They make the perfect appetizer.

Continue reading “Fun with Cupcakes”DIY: BCBG Max Azria Inspired Maxi Dress
While searching for maxi dress to make for the summer I came across this BCBG Max Azria maxi dress. I like dresses that cinch at the waist so I decided to give it a try.
What you’ll need:
2 yards main fabric (suggestion: silk, cotton voile, rayon, polyester blend, etc. avoid cotton because it won’t have the proper flow)
2 yards accent fabric (suggestion: same as above, but a different texture for added dimension)
2 inch elastic
ruler
scissors
rotary cutter
safety pin
