DIY Dog Bed

We have a new, temporary house guest who desperately needed a soft bed. I used an old blanket from the depths of the linen closet, some natural muslin I had lying around and some pillow filling from projects long ago.
I made a big pillow case and stuffed it.
Then I added some (quite ghetto) personalized lovins.

Test run.
I'm pretty sure he likes it.
SUCCESS.

Peace, Love, and Earthy Hair Accessories

I was buying these flower hair clip thingies at craft shows, but they were falling apart and never had the colors I wanted. So I made my own. the great thing about these is that you can clip them directly in your hair (above). Or my favorite way is to clip them onto a fabric head band. (below)

Korean Lovins (Dopoki/Tapoki)

Mmmmm dopoki for dinner tonight. Here are the steps to cook it. I showed a photo to the owner of the Korean/Asian grocery store I shop in. She said, "Oooooooo now all we need to do is open a restaurant!"

Repurposed Earrings

I bought these funky owl earrings in Guatemala. The silver hook part that inserts into the ear was rusted and kinda gross, so I had to replace them. I needed small rings to loop through the earrings themselves first, so I took apart a silver earring (shown) and used 2 rings from it. I lost the other silver earring riding my bike last summer and couldn't part with the other. (they were my very favorite pair for a long time) I decided to make the parts of one earring into 2 earrings by inserting a ring (in the larger earring) and added brand new, matching hooks. Ta da! A new pair.

Vegan Pumpkin Bread with homemade tangerine/ginger icing

Holiday baking season is upon me. I originally got inspired by the pretty bread pan (see below) I bought at Williams Sonoma. Then I went on a search for a vegan/whole grain/low sugar recipe. I had never baked with whole wheat flour before! This recipe includes flax seeds too! It's so so yummy and you dont even have to feel that guilty eating it!

This was also my first attempt making homemade icing. Seriously, how easy can it be?!? I made a gourmet tangerine/ginger icing for the mini loaves. So delicious.
