Tiger Hoopla

 

I made this tiger themed hoop for my partner in the Surprise Swap.  She said that she loves tigers and her Chinese Zodiac sign in the tiger.  I purchased the pattern from Urban Threads and used a back stitch for everything but the nose. 

Foodie Friday-Healthier Cupcakes

I saw a Pin on Pinterest for healthier cupcakes and thought I would give them a try.  

All you need is 1 box of cake mix, 1 cup of greek yogurt, and 1 cup of water.  Mix and bake as directed on the package.

They turned out perfect!  They have a slightly different taste than cupcakes made with the usual ingredients but it's not a bad flavor at all.  I will continue to use this recipe in the future for sure!

We also decided to try the new Frosting Creations on our cupcakes.  I chose Chocolate Almond

All you do is choose your flavor, dump it in the frosting container and mix, mix, mix.

It mixed up really easily and tasted really good.  The only complaint I have is that the frosting is really runny so you may want to stick it in the fridge for a bit before frosting your cake or cupcakes.

Here is a picture of the finished product

And here are my taste testers giving their stamp of approval!

Beware of My Weiner

 

A stenciled shirt made in the Christmas List swap for Casey1201.  She requested this shirt for her sweetie since they have weiner dogs.  I love the play on words, it's too funny!  

I used freezer paper for the stencil and Tulip Soft Fabric Paint.
