DIY guide – draped skirt | Passions for Fashion mandag, 19 september 2011 Her får I den længe ventede DIY guide til at binde en draperet nederdel, som jeg første gang viste i et indlæg fra Kreta. Jeg har brugt et gammelt tørklæde fra H&M, men har I ikke et tørklæde i den stil, kan man købe et langt stykke jersey stof i en stofbutik meget billigt. Mit tørklæde er 2,5 meter langt og 1,5 meter bredt og så har jeg foldet det på midten, så det kun er 75 cm bredt. Hvis I køber et stykke stof der er lidt tykkere, behøver I ikke folde det på midten, bare det ikke er gennemsigtig, of course :) Jeg håber at I kan lide guiden og at den er til at forstå, ellers spørger I bare. Here is a DIY guide on how to tie a draped skirt.
How to make a sunflower This is something you can make with an egg sheet. (see “how to make an egg sheet”) It’s cute and very easy too!

You can make so many things with the egg sheet! Have fun bento-ing! You can also check out more “how to” on my blog and my flickr page. Tagged as: eggs, flowers, sausage

Comfort Me With: Spinach Pesto Chicken A down-home dish of chicken and pasta with a spinach-pistachio pesto makes a quick and satisfying late summer dinner. [Photograph: Stephanie Stiavetti] When I was a kid, I had a neighbor who I loved to visit in the early evenings. This sweet, little old Italian lady was a pesto master, and I'd go watch her pound basil and pine nuts in her mortar and pestle. Despite her slight frame, she pounded that pesto with everything she had, and within minutes she had reduced the greens, nuts, and garlic into a perfect, creamy texture. It would be years before I learned to make pesto on my own, and years beyond that for me to perfect my mortar and pestle technique. After years of experimenting with pestos, I've learned to use all sorts of ingredients for fun flavor combinations.

TESTOSTERONE NATION | No-Pasta Lasagna - Page 1 Low-Carb, No-Pasta Lasagna It started with a cat. "Why does that fat cat like lasagna so much?" Yep, because of Garfield I just had to try lasagna. These days, I still love lasagna. At first, I fell for the usual trap -- trying to find a "better-bad" lasagna noodle. Pasta problem solved, I moved on to the rest of the ingredients. For sauce, I just go for the store-bought variety with the lowest sugar and calorie content. Finally, I use fat-free or reduced fat cheese to drop the caloric load, then extra lean ground beef or turkey if I'm making the meaty version... and I'm usually making the meaty version since I'm Texan and therefore required to have dead animals at every meal. There are a thousand variations, but here's one of my favorites so far. No-Pasta Lasagna The Stuff Putting It All Together 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. That may seem like a lot of steps, but it's really hard to screw this up. Enjoy!
Coffee Filter Trees | The Little Brown House. Tweet! Welcome to The Little Brown House! I promised in my Christmas Mantle post that I would do a tutorial of the Coffee Filter trees I featured, and here it is. My first Coffee Filter project was last spring, when I made my Brown Coffee Filter Wreath I was amazed at how easy they were to work with And how pretty they ended up looking! Since that time I have been looking out for another project to do with the filters. A few weeks ago The Nester did a post about the wreaths, and she mentioned mine. (Bashful grin) Nesting Place She also did a tutorial on some coffee filter trees, and I decided I had to try them! I purchased two styrofoam cones from Michaels at $6.99 each. What on earth are they making styrofoam out of these days? It seemed kind of pricy to me! I should mention- I was working on my mantle at the same time so the table is a bit of a mess – I should have cleaned up for the pictures but as usual, I was impatient! The Nester used a glue gun to make hers, but I decided to go with straight pins
Monochromatic Designs: How to Pull it Off Have you ever watched a home improvement program on television and, instead of feeling inspired, felt even more out of touch? When it comes to home décor and design, implementing new techniques can seem terrifying. An arrangement, piece of wall art or color palette that looks ravishing in a trendy television home can sometimes look like an out-of-place mess when added to your current home design. This is why, when first entering into the world of décor, it’s best to take baby steps. When people hear the word “monochromatic,” they instantly act repulsed, conjuring up images of a Willy Wonka style fun house in which the chairs and sofas blend in with the walls. One thing to remember about a monochromatic color scheme is that it doesn’t have to be the exact same shade repeated over and over throughout the room. As you decorate with your monochromatic scheme, you may notice that certain areas could benefit from a contrasting color.
