I can only imagine how delicious this great recipe from Taste of Home actually tastes! A plate with three slices of these for me please (right now!!)!!!

Well, I decided to give it a try today and make my own twist on this awesome craft idea!!! I want to share what I came up with! BTW, this project is EXTREMELY EASY! It took me 5 minutes with each one (with my addition)!! All you need for my version is fabric and embroidery hoops, tacky glue, scissors, some sort of embellishment (I used primitive style small wooden signs) + a glue gun! I used the tacky glue for the fabric and the glue gun to put the signs onto the fabric! I used all the steps in Purl Bee’s tutorial so head on over after reading this post and try a few of your own! They look so awesome on my wall!

Here is my finished products (!!!!):

#DIY #Birthday #Party Idea! Tea/Garden Party for Girls!

I love this post from dots & daisies! Such cute ideas for tea party themed events! I would choose the outdoor setting! Find vintage linens and tea pots, cups, saucers & bake up a plethora of sweet treats!! Focus on colors..brights or pastels! Have your guests dress up in their Sunday best with an over-the-top hat to top their party costumes off! Have a table reserved for stuffed animals and dolls!! And don’t forget the floral arrangements!
