Jack's Big Pin

I love Anna Maria Horner's fabric, so I decided to make a large pin from one of her fabrics. All you do is follow the decoupage steps listed under my Hair Barrettes post. Instead of hot gluing the pin to the alligator clip, hot clue it to a pin backing. Be sure to place the pin in the location you want it to lay as you wear it. I usually put the pin backing towards the top. Now you have your own gorgeous accessory!



Easy Applesauce

 I decided to whip up some applesauce for my babies this morning.

Directions:

1. Cut up an apple into chunks.
2. Then, put them into a bowl and fill the bowl with water.
3. Cook in your microwave about 6 minutes (give or take, I usually stop and check the apples at 3 min). Be careful because the bowl will be hot.
4. Use a hot pad to carry the bowl to your sink (unless you want to save the fresh juice) and pour out the water over a strainer.
5. Put the apple chunks in your food processor or blender and puree.

Voila! You now have homemade applesauce. Let me know your tips and tricks.
