Blue, White and Red Cupcakes

       

Superbowl is finally here. Our friends are throwing a party and since I already made Superbowl Cookies last year, I decided to bring Cupcakes this year. The Giants and the Patriots are wearing both almost the same colors (white, blue and some red - If I'm told correctly - I'm not really a football fan YET)

For my cupcakes I used white cake mix, mixed in some white chocolate chip morsels and poured it into 12 cupcake liners. Baked by 350F for 20minutes, and let them cool down.


For fun I also wanted to make dark red cupcakes with food color, but that didn't turn out that well. They came out pinkish, but who cares.


Then I prepared the icing and put it in my awesome Icing tool. For all 18 cupcakes I used two jars of white icing (blue included)


First round I used just white icing with a star tip.


Then I mixed some white icing with blue food color (again, didn't turn out as dark as I wanted to, but I did not want to play with the bitter taste in putting more food color in - and didn't want to buy more ingredients to make them darker either - I'm sure nobody really cares)


After mixing it together with an electric mixer, it turned out light blue.


I used the blue icing on top of the white


and then decorated with some prinkles.

 
 
And here they are in all their beauty.



You could also make them for July 4th, or any other occasion. :)





Are you excited about the game tonight? What team are you chearing for, or are you just excited for the half time show and the commercials?

Wing Chair Recovery - Part II

Image
Only for those of you who already forgot how the wing chair looked when I first got it, here is a picutre which I took in the thrift store! For the amazing price of $18 it is all mine.   Too nasty to sit in, I first ripped off all of the fabric, (I'll spare you the details, since I blogged about that before ) layed the old fabric out, cut the new fabric pieces a little bigger than the old ones and made little fabric piles. I bought about 9' of fabric online at http://www.fabric.com/  I kept all of the old buttons, cut little circles and sewed fabric on each of them. I can tell you, that was my least favorite part.    After all 27 buttons were done, the back seat was the first piece that I re-buttoned.   The buttons go all the way through the fabric and cushion - the back part gets spread apart and rests on the foam. I put the cushion in place and stapled it firm to the back. Repeated all those steps ...

Ruffled Pillow

Image
I feel like its time for a pillow fight with all the pillows I have made this past year. The last one of the year is a white one After the pillow was all done, I started to cut some felt circles, glued them onto fabric with liquid stitch. I cut all the different sizes of circles out, laid them on top of each other and hand stitched them together. For the middle of the pillow I decided on having a ruffled band. For that I used my ruffler attachment on the sewing machine. It is so easy, I don't know why I waited a year to try it out. I sewed the ruffled band to the pillow and laid the six circles on it to see how I need to space them out.             For four circles I decided to make flowers. I stitched the outside of each fabric circle and knotted the thread after pulling it together until a flower like circle appeared. Did that to all layers and hot glued a shiny button.  ...

The Nursery - Final reveal

Image
  I know you couldn't wait any longer to find out if we are going to have a boy or girl. I don't keep it any longer from you, I promise.   Both of us wanted a boy, but really just a healthy little baby is all we asked for.   Since I don't count to the younger childbearing generation anymore, there were some tests that I had to do. One of them is for down syndrome. Scary stuff, let me tell you. With that test though, you can find out the gender and when I received the call with the results, I immediately started crying. Happy and over the moon that the baby is completely healthy but totally in shock that it is a.... CAN YOU SAY BOY???   No wonder I have hair growing like crazy in my face, all this testosterone in me probably doesn't help the weirdest pregnancy outcomes. At least (so far) I haven't been too bitchy, hormonal. Don't ask Brian though, he would probably tell you differently.   I called Brian to tell him and the only thing he sa...
