Nutella Hot Chocolate.

I found this recipe for nutella hot chocolate. I'm in love. This is seriously the best hot chocolate i've ever put in my mouth. I wanted to share with you my beautiful discovery:

1. Heat milk in microwave or on stove top until steaming. 2. Add two tablespoons of nutella. 3. Stir until nutella has dissolved. 4. Add marshmallows if you like. Enjoy!

It's literally that simple. And perfect for this cold weather. :)

No-Sew Fabric Pumpkin Tutorial.

I made this super easy fabric pumpkin the other day! There is no sewing involved whatsoever. Here's how I did it:

Supplies Needed: Orange fabric (about 20"x20"), brown fabric (about 5"x5"), roll of toilet paper, some stuffing.

These pictures make it pretty self-explanitory, but i'll still give you the basic instructions.
1. Lay orange fabric upside-down and place toilet paper roll in the middle of it. Add some stuffing around the toilet paper.
2. Taking a little bit at a time, tuck the fabric into the center of the toilet paper roll. Sometimes this gets a little tricky, but keep trying! You'll soon get it just right.
3. Lay brown fabric upside-down and put a little stuffing in the center.
4. Wrap brown fabric around the stuffing.
5. Tuck brown fabric with stuffing into the center of toilet paper roll.
6. Now you have a cute little fabric pumpkin!

That wasn't hard at all, was it? :) Hope you enjoyed!

Puppy Sitting.

Recently my sister puppy sat for some friends of ours and I was able to help her out a little bit. They have the cutest puppy! My dog is too big for me to hold, so it was fun playing with this little guy. :)
