Terrific Thrifty Thursday #8

Welcome back to Terrific Thrifty Thursday! For the 8th edition all the projects are accessory related so here they are! First, over at Delilah's Momma they made some cool looking hairclips! Those hairclips look pretty!

 And secondly, over at Twelve Crafts Till Christmas they made some really cool soda can cuff bracelets! Did you know you can machine sew right through soda cans? This is a project I must try! Both these projects used Mod Podge, that's one thing I don't have! 

That's it for this edition of Terrific Thrifty Thursday! If you have an thrifty idea for Terrific Thrifty Thursday than you can send a easy cooking, frugal accessory, clothing, or crafting project to: mypassionsforfashion (at) yahoo (dot) ca  Later today I will be posting a review on Sally Hanson Xtreme Wear Nail Color!

Features on My Blog

Hello!
I have been tinkering with which way I like my blog best since I started this blog in March and so, I thought I would show you all the things you can do on my blog on the side bar beginning at the top.

-You can get a blog button for your blog if you were featured on Terrific Thrifty Thursday or if you just like my blog. If you want a blog button, scroll down the page to my labels and click blog buttons.

-You can read about me on my blogger profile. And the other blog I sometimes post at.

-You can look at my Yahoo avatar and click on it if you have Yahoo Mail and customise your own avatar.

- Every single post is archived so if you want to look at other posts you can.

- You can look at my labels and pick one. For example, if you are only looking for clothes for dolls than you click on the clothes for dolls label and you get every post about clothes for dolls.

- You can feed and brush my pet guinea pig, Butterscotch! Don't forget to turn up the sound Butterscotch squeaks! I made him from bunnyherolabs.com and you can adopt your very own virtual pet for your own blog or just save them in your favourites.(they even have llamas!)

- If you want to see how many people visit My Passions for Fashions each day than you can click on the s
Sitemeter button and take a look.

- If you like my blog than you can follow it!

- And near the bottom are all the blogs that have featured me! If you have featured me please let me know so I can take your blog button or mention you on my blog.

- There is also a list of link partys to go to!

And on the posts you can: See other related post on my LinkWithin or comment on the post. Anyone can post a comment and you don't have to belong to blogger. I read every single comment because they are e-mailed to me so if you comment on a post from way back in March I will read it. Don't feel like leaving a comment? You can tell me if the post was: intresting, cool, or helpful. And when you click on comments it's a pop-up box so you can keep reading instead of having to go to a whole new page.

Terrific Thrifty Thursday #7

Welcome to the 7th edition of Terrific Thrifty Thursday! The first idea is for this bandanna dress from Trey and Lucy and they say that it can be used as a shirt too as your child gets older. This bandanna dress is a project to make for smaller people but it still is smart and easy! I'm not sure if a older person like a teenager could wear it as a shirt if the bandannas were big enough.

Second is this idea for a zipper flower cuff bracelet over at Something From Cassie. The way she makes the cuffs from old shirt sleeve cuffs would look cool enough without the zipper flowers as well!

 Always, if you have been featured on a Terrific Thrifty Thursday then you can grab the Terrific Thrifty Thursday blog button for your blog. If you want to submit an idea to the next Terrific Thrifty Thursday send a frugal crafting, clothing, accessory, or easy cooking related project to: mypassionsforfashions (at) yahoo (dot) ca  Also, thanks to Dollar Store Crafts for linking so many projects for me to look at for my Terrific Thrifty Thursdays!

Tip: Scarves

Today I have a tip for you about scarves. I recently learned this from a crochet book, this one. If you are making your own pattern for a scarf, knitting or crocheting and you don't know when it's long enough to stop, here is a tip. A good sized scarf should go from the tips on your fingers on one hand to the tips of the fingers on the other hand with your arms stretched out wide. Another way is to do that with a measuring tape and remember that measurement. I am about 150cm but, it's easier to just put your hands to the sides of you while holding the scarf.

Easy Microwave S'mores

This project is not really fashionable but it tastes good! This recipe is good if you don't want to make them because there are to many bugs outside, you don't have a barbeque, or you don't feel like making a bonfire! You can always change this recipe if you don't have some of the ingredients. (Example: you have graham crackers but not digestives) 

To make easy s'mores you will need:

Chocolate Chips

Marshmallows (big or small)

Digestive Cookies (or graham crackers)

Plate

Microwave

Freezer

1. Put 2 cookies on you plate flat side up

2. Place a large marshmallow on one or you can use about 10 small ones.

3. Place about 10 chocolate chips on the other cookie.

4. Put it in the microwave for about thirty seconds (or until your marshmallow puffs up) and watch in amazement as your marshmallow turns from this,

to this!

5. Put the chocolate side on the marshmallow side and don't make all the marshmallow go out the sides.

6. Put it in the freezer for one minute or two minutes.

7. Take your s'more out of the freezer cut it in half with a butter knife if you like and eat your s'more!

I like this recipe and it doesn't take very long just make sure you wash your hands after because these are really sticky! ~~Ponytails

Edit: I was reading Stand in the Wind By Jean Little and these girls were having a camp-out and they made s'mores and spread peanut butter on them you can try that by spreading peanut butter on one of the cookies and sticking the chocolate chips to that side.
