Halloween Hairbows

I have a small hair aaccessories company that I am trying to get off of the ground by the name of Little Lady Accessories. I am in the process of building my website, but in the mean time I am using a Facebook page to get my name out. I've uploaded some new Halloween Bows today, please stop by my page and check them out! 

Check out my facebook page here.
Or, link over to my "under construction" website here

Thanks Ladies!

Layered Fabric Flower Tutorial

I love these flowers! They are so fun to use as hair accessories, or even to clip onto a purse or jacket.

Start by folding your fabric in half, and cut out three circles. I used a large ribbon spool to trace my circles.

Cut out your circles and fold one in half.

Then fold it in half again.

Stitch through the curved side of your circle. Push the new "petal" all the way to the end of your thread.

Continue adding your petals until all six are added.

Make sure all six petals are gathered tightly and pushed to the end of your thread. Stitch together the first and last petal by making a few stitches connecting the two on the bottom side of your flower.

You can complete your flower by adding a center, or you can add as many layers as you would like. Make it your own. :)

Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes

Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes

This is one of the EASIEST recipes ever! They were Delicious, moist, and left the whole house smelling like "Fall, Thanksgiving, and cinnamon" as my 8 year old put it. ;)

I found this recipe on Bigredkitchen.com but I tweaked it a tad.

You Will Need: 

1 Box of yellow cake mix

1 can of Libby's pure pumpkin.

(I added the following for extra "spice")

1/8 tsp. cinnamon

1/8 tsp. all spice

Mix these items together. You DO NOT add the egg and oil that the cake calls for. You only  need the four items listed. After you've mixed well, use an ice cream scooper and scoop into cupcake wrappers. Bake at 350 for 18 minutes.

I chose to top mine with store bought cream cheese icing and they were scrumptious! :)

Cinnamon Apple Pancakes with Homemade Apple Syrup

While trying to find some new toppings for pancakes, I created this recipe and we fell in love. My little ladies gobbled them up! Plus, you get an added bonus from making these- your house will smell like delicious apples and cinnamon all day! :)

Pancakes:

1/2 an apple diced into very small pieces
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/8 cup of warm water

Box of pancake mix (you can make your own mix if you wish, but the boxed kind that you just add water to works great.)
Water

Dice apple, and mix together in small sauce pan with cinnamon, brown sugar, and 1/8 cup of water. Cook over med. heat just until the apples start to become tender. This usually only takes about 4 or 5 minutes. In separate bowl, mix pancake mix with water according to package directions for 12-18 pancake serving size. Mix in apple mixture. Cook pancakes on griddle at 350 degrees until golden brown.


Syrup:

1 cup of sugar
1 cup of warm water
1/8 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 an apple sliced into very thin slices

In small sauce pan, stir together sugar and water. Heat over medium heat until it reaches a rolling boil, stirring constantly. Turn heat to low, and add in apples and cinnamon. Cook over low heat for 5-6 minutes. Remove from heat and syrup will thicken upon standing.


I hope your family enjoys these as much as mine does! Beware, these are very addicting!
