                                                            Butterfly house!

                                           Did you know that butterflies will eat rotting fruit?

              Did you guess these were chrysalis? They look like jewels :D

Sorry there's a lot of pics in this post, but there were so many good ones. :) Have you ever gone to Hershey Gardens?

                              Would you like some chocolate rocks? They taste like m&ms :D

My brothers got suckers with real scorpions in them!! Would you eat it?

Peach Pie

This past week my brother and I made a yummy peach pie. We also love the show Psych : D
 here's the recipe (I found it on allrecipes.com)

Ingredients

• 1 (15 ounce) package pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
• 1 egg, beaten
• 5 cups sliced peeled peaches
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons butter

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2. Line the bottom and sides of a 9 inch pie plate with one of the pie crusts. Brush with some of the beaten egg to keep the dough from becoming soggy later.
3. Place the sliced peaches in a large bowl, and sprinkle with lemon juice. Mix gently. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Pour over the peaches, and mix gently. Pour into the pie crust, and dot with butter. Cover with the other pie crust, and fold the edges under. Flute the edges to seal or press the edges with the tines of a fork dipped in egg. Brush the remaining egg over the top crust. Cut several slits in the top crust to vent steam.
4. Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, then reduce the heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake for an additional 30 to 35 minutes, until the crust is brown and the juice begins to bubble through the vents. If the edges brown to fast, cover them with strips of aluminum foil about halfway through baking. Cool before serving. This tastes better warm than hot.

Pretty Paint-by-Number Projects


Here ^ are some really cool ideas of what to do with Paint-by-Numbers!

DIY Nails: Wild side

Apply Base coat.

                                                                     Paint all nails pink.

                                             Then paint top half of nail white.

                                    Then Paint black zebra stripes on white.

                                                                      All finished!

A day at the lake

                                             My brother fishing. :)

                                        The sunset...... It was better in person... : P

DIY Nails: Flower Power

                For these nails I used colors from Kiss and L.A. Color.

                                 Always apply base coat first.

                               Then Paint nails white.

Once again you will use your pencil to make dots on your nails.

                       Using the green polish make dots like leaves with the pencil.

                            Then make a yellow dot in the middle.

                        To make the rest of the flower put 6 to 7 dots around the center. Now cover your nail with flowers! :)

                                                        All done!

             These nails are really easy to make, so give it a try!

Butterflies!

                                     The bottom of the butterfly

A while ago my mom found some caterpillars on her plants. We put them in a container and waited for them to turn into butterflies. Unfortunately, only one made it.... :( But here is what the one looked like. :D

My dog thinks she's a human

Just thought I'd share these pics of my dog, Aggie, actually sleeping with a pillow. :D

DIY Nail Art: Bluer than blue

     

To create these nails I used two kinds of blue. One from Denim Wanted and Sinful Colors(Ugh I hate that name) and the base coast/ top coat was from L.A. Colors. You will also need a pencil ( I prefer a mechanical pencil with no lead ).

                                    First apply base coat and let dry.

                                   Then paint all nails light blue. Let dry.

Here's the hardest part of all (don't worry it's really easy!) dip the point of your pencil in the dark blue paint and make dots on your nails. Wait for that to dry.

                          Don't forget to apply top coat! :)

                                              All done!

                               Tell me what you think. Did you like it? If not, tell me why. : D

From short to long

 So my mom bought this short dress\long shirt to wear to work, but unfortunately it was too small, so I got it. : D The only problem was it was too short for me, so I decided to add some fabric to the bottom. :D

                                First I measured to see how long I needed to cut the fabric.

                                                    Then I hemmed the bottom.

 

  Once I had the hem pinned, I started sewing. :D Then I sewed the top of the fabric  to the bottom of the dress.

                                                            My finished project! 

Got any dresses that are too short? Tray and add some fabric to the bottom!
