Fruit Leather & Favorite Food Blog

Hello crafty friends, I am in between trips. Doing laundry, sending out bills, attending to house and squeezing in appointments like doctors and dentist that are hard to get to in the fall with school schedules. I hope this finds you all well and having a great summer. I came across this great homemade fruit leather tutorial and had to share along with my newest favorite food blog.

This homemade fruit leather tutorial  is something I would love to make with fresh fruit from summer. And if you are lucky enough to have trees with fruit you will love this even more! There is even a recipe pdf to download along with the tutorial at Craftzine.com. This link will take you directly to the tutorial and recipe.

The article also shares information about Katie Goodman who wrote the article and shares a link to her foodie blog full of great recipes and yummy images at the GoodLife {eats}, but I am sharing her link here too! I think you'll love visiting her. You know how I am always looking for something fast, easy and  healthy for the family to eat....well if this is you too then you'll want to make a visit.

She has yummy things going on at her site and shares more than one recipe choice when sharing a recipe. Foodie love! Two of my favorite summer recipes I found were a Teriyaki Turkey Burger with homemade barbecue sauce recipe and a lovely Grilled Peaches with Mascarponi Whip and Raspberry Sauce. Katie has a recipe search at the top of her site and its easy to navigate.

What's your favorite food blog? What's your favorite thing to grill? What is your favorite summer treat? I'd love to know!

Homemade Baby Gifts

Remember the post I shared the tutorials for some baby gifts? Well if not here is the link to that post here. I wanted to share with you the end result of the tri fold diapers that were covered in the center with pretty fabric on the outside to make pretty burpees or clean ups for the mom to be.

I actually found the fabric at Walmart in their fabric department. It was pretty, suited a baby and in this case boy! They are all stitched up and ready for giving with a cute ribbon on top. I plan on purchasing a pretty basket or laundry basket and arranging the gifts into it. With a new baby a mom could easily use either for daily duties or catch alls.

I haven't had time yet, but plan on writing out the tutorial for the zipper pouch. It is big enough for mom to be to carry wipes, a few diapers, ointment when on a quick run, just in case of emergencies. It really is pretty easy!  You can see the end result just behind the wipes.

The hardest thing is changing from the regular sewing foot to the zipper foot. You will have to read your manual or check out You Tube if you don't know how. Other wise it is all straight stitching, ironing and turning. Tutorial coming soon!  You can; change the fabric if you need to make one for other uses. Until next time, hope you are having time to sew or getting crafty!

What is your favorite project you finished this summer so far?
