Quilling Vallentine card

Another Martha Stewart Valentines card. This card is made with quilling.

It's beautifull and really special but it's not easy to make. So you have to save some time to make this card. But if you do, you have something really special!

Look for the tutorial at the Martha Stewart website.

Valentine!

In two weeks it will be valentines day. So from now you really have to find a proper gift for your loved ones. And because I want to help you with that I'm going to show you in this weeks before valentines day a few options of handmade gifts. Because nothing is as personal and unique as a handmade gift.

Today I want to start with this beautifull card. A valentines day without a card is not complete. So here is a beautifull card from Martha Stewart.

I love the hand stitched hearts on this card. It's really beautifull. I think your loved ones will be very pleased with this card!

Look on the website from Martha Stewart for the instructions.

Marshmallow Fluff recipe

Some of those delicious recipes I find on the internet have marshmallow fluff as an ingredient. Unfortunatly I can't get it here. This recepy is for those who have the same problem.

Ingredients

3 egg whites
2 cups light corn syrup
1/2 tsp salt

2 cups confectioner's sugar
1 Tbsp vanilla extract

Directions

In a large bowl, combine egg whites, corn syrup and salt. Mix with mixer on high speed for 10 minutes (or until thick). Add in icing sugar. Beat on low speed until well blended. Add vanilla and mix until blended.

It's now ready to use or store. This recipe may be frozen for later use. Remove from freezer and stir until fluff is mixed. It can be kept in the refrigerated for up to 1 week. Stir well with a spoon before serving

**You can use this in any recipe that calls for marshmallow creme/fluff.
Equivalents:
1 tablespoon Marshmallow Cream = 1 large marshmallow
3 oz Marshmallow Cream = 85g = 1 cup Marshmallow Cream
7 1/2 oz Marshmallow Cream = 200 g = 2 1/2 cups = 32 large marshmallows
16 oz Marshmallow Cream = 450g = 5 cups = 5 1/2 dozen large marshmallows

'Vintage' apron

I love to cook and to craft. So aprons always come in handy. And I love them! A girl can never have enough aprons!

Almost all of my aprons (And I've got a lot of them) are handmade. This one will be the next one added to my collection. I found this apron as a tutorial on the Etsy blog. Don't you just love the vintage look of it?

For the complete tutorial take a look at the Etsy blog.
