The perfect pastel-hued celebration in North Carolina complete with an indoor ceremony and tented reception.
I love the way these Brush Embroidery Cookies look together in a group, as if they were all pieces cut from the same bolt of fabric. This lavender bunch was a custom order for a wedding.
One collection you may not have spotted at your local Goodwill is the over abundance of amazing vinyl records that they carry at their store. The best part isn't just how much fun it is to flip through them, but the easy-on-the-wallet price of a mere $.25 per record price tag! Have you caught on to the reemerging vinyl fad yet? This winter to celebrate my birthday and the launch of my book, my amazing friends all pitched in for a record player and my first stack of vinyl for my birthday. Since then, it has been my little weekly hobby while the kids are in school to head to the stacks of records at my store and spend an hour flipping through records to bring home to listen to over our evening meal. At a mere quarter, it is easy to get a little carried away with my record collecting, but it has proven to be the perfect thrifty hobby for me. There is nothing more fun than settling in with some of my favorite albums from my youth and hearing them on record, just like when I was a kid. Records that are scratched can still get a great deal of love in your home and today I wanted to showcase some fun record craft ideas you could create for your home with these budget-friendly wonders! Make a Wall Decal Did you know that you can create, cut, and mold shapes with records to make a wall decal? Me either, but I am so excited to try this amazing idea for decorating a wall as demonstrated in this easy DIY butterfly craft from Threadsence. I am already imagining all the possibilities with this craft and think it would be a fun way to dress up a craft room wall or a fun addition to a teen/tween bedroom. Decorate a Corner With Records Records come in different sizes and I often see the smaller 7" records available for purchase at our store. Don't overlook the overabundance of these tiny little powerhouses of music because they make the perfect size for tackling smaller crafts. These tiny records are the perfect size for creating a cute hanging fixture to decorate a room. I can picture this as a fun mobile in a trendy nursery or as a fun addition to a family game room. (Source Unknown) Create a Side Table If there is one thing I love, it is easy crafts and you can't get any easier than grabbing your hot glue gun and attaching a record to a plant stand for a side table. This little table would be adorable in any room or the perfect gift for the music lover in your life. Scratched records make the perfect little resting place for your morning coffee and breathe new life into a tired piece of vinyl. Check out The Flourishing Abode to create your own record side table. Craft a Cake Stand I am all about turning anything that I can find from Goodwill into a cake stand. Remember these adorable board game cake stands I created for a party? You can attach an inverted candlestick holder or martini glass for an easy stand for these. These would be adorable at themed parties you are hosting or just a fun way to serve up retro food for an evening with friends. Check out cake for the full scoop on this fun addition to a party. Make a Clock Wall clocks can be expensive, but a necessary addition to many rooms in your home. That is why I love this easy DIY Vinyl Record Clock idea featured on Apartment Therapy. Simply choose a record with a label that compliments the color of the room and use a few clock hardware pieces to create your own version for your wall. Can't you picture one of these adorable clocks in a dorm or teen/tween bedroom too? I love it! Make a Record Bowl Looking to add a fun fluted bowl to your party table? Just as was showcased in the wall decal craft that I talked about here, you can also shape and mold records into bowls to adorn your tables at parties. This easy DIY requires no cutting of records, but simply a heating and shaping of them to create these adorable bowls. I can picture popcorn, candy, or nuts as fun appetizers for a party. Check out Prudent Baby for this easy record bowl tutorial. Don't forget that you will need a spot to store your new-to-you record collection! I have fallen in love with this DIY Industrial Storage Cabinet on A Beautiful Mess for an adorable stand and place to display your favorite records. It looks like the cabinets I have been eyeing online, but is made at a fraction of the price. Of course, if you are heading to Goodwill every week like me, you might need storage that offers a little more room. I found this storage ottoman at our local Target for $80 and it created the perfect little spot for our collection. All of the records are flipped on the edges so we can see the titles and grab what we need easily. It also is a fun way to reveal your collection to your friends and enjoy an evening together around the ol' record player! Happy record crafting & hunting, friends!

Ingredientes: - 400 gr calabaza cocida o asada - 200 gr azúcar blanquilla - *150 gr azúcar moreno - 4 huevos M - 280 gr aceite girasol - 400 gr harina floja - 1 sobre levadura química ( tipo royal ) - 2 sobres gasificante compuestos cada uno por un sobre de bicarbonato y uno de ácido tartárico - Azúcar y canela para espolvorear * Para los mas dulzones podéis poner la misma cantidad de azúcar blanquilla y azúcar moreno, es decir, 200 del blanco y 200 del moreno. Preparación: 1. Empezamos cociendo o asando la calabaza. En mi caso la he cocido en thermomix. Hay que tener en cuenta que si necesitamos 400gr de calabaza para utilizar en la receta, deberemos poner a cocer una calabaza que tenga un peso superior, es decir de 500 gr aproximadamente, ya que en la cocción siempre pierde un poco de peso. Para cocer la calabaza, introducimos en el vaso 500 gr de agua, Seguidamente colocamos el cestillo dentro del vaso, con la calabaza pelada y cortada en dados no muy grandes para facilitar su cocción. Programamos 30 minutos, temperatura varoma, velocidad 1. Una vez finalizado el tiempo comprobamos si la calabaza ya está en su punto o todavía le falta un poco, en ese caso programaremos unos minutos mas, hasta conseguir el punto óptimo de cocción. 2. Retiramos el cestillo del vaso, desechamos el agua sobrante que hemos utilizado para la cocción y vamos incorporando la calabaza, los azúcares, los huevos y el aceite.Batimos 1 minuto, velocidad 6. 3. Añadimos la harina, los sobres de gasificante ( dos de bicarbonato y 2 de ácido tartárico ), el sobre de levadura química y canela al gusto. Mezclamos 30 segundos, velocidad 6. Terminamos de envolver la mezcla con una espátula por si ha quedado algún resto de harina sin mezclar en las paredes del vaso. 4. Vertemos la mezcla sobre un molde forrado con papel vegetal. Espolvoreamos al gusto con una mezcla de azúcar y canela. 5. Introducimos en el horno precalentado y horneamos a 180ªC durante 25 minutos con la función solo aire. Pasado el tiempo comprobamos su punto de cocción con una brocheta o cualquier otro utensilio dedicado a la misma labor. Desmoldamos la coca y dejamos enfriar sobre una rejilla hasta que enfríe. Es una coca de llanda diferente a la convencional, muy fácil de hacer y con un resultado excelente debido al toque de sabor característico que le proporciona la calabaza, os recomiendo que la probéis. Bon appétit!!!
