RATING PINTEREST PROJECTS

I have found some really great recipes and craft ideas from Pinterest and have decided to give some of these "pinspirations" a try.  Some have been successful and some not so much.

 

Here are some recent inspirations I have tried:

 

 

Just last night I made these Vanilla Oatmeal No Bake Cookies that were originally posted on AUNT PEGS RECIPE BOX blog.

Recipe:

2 cups sugar

3/4 cup butter

2/3 cup milk

1 pkg. (3.4 oz.) instant vanilla pudding (I used french vanilla pudding which I had on hand)

3 1/2 cups quick oats

1/2 tsp. vanilla

 

Stir together in a saucepan the sugar, butter and milk.  Bring to a boil over med. high heat and boil 2 minutes, stirring constantly.  Remove from heat and add pudding (dry mix, not prepared) and stir until dissolved.  Next add oatmeal and vanilla.  Let sit about 5 minutes then put onto wax paper by the spoonfuls.  Let set up.  I let mine set up over night and they were just right.

 

*ON A SCALE OF 1-5

(with 1 being I would 'not recommend' and a 5 being a 'let's make these every day')

I WOULD GIVE THESE A  " 4"

Raspberry Swirl Sweet Rolls

I made these yummy rolls last week.  The picture is not of the ones I made because they were gone before I could get a good photo of them.  Hubby couldn't stay out of them, I on the other hand did partake but not nearly as much as he did.   As a matter of fact I have been know to make some killer cinnamon rolls and hubby said he liked the raspberry rolls even better.

I found this flower scarf on Pinterest a couple of months ago and thought it was really cute.

The blog WATCH ME DADDY has a very easy to follow tutorial if you want to see how she did it.

Here is my version.  The only thing I did differently was to add some fake salt water pearls in the center of each flower. 

Now the rating and overall opinion of the finished scarf:

THE UPSIDE: I will say it was quite easy to make, great instructions, it went together easily and the finished project turned out well.
NOW THE DOWNSIDE:
If I were to make one of these again I would use a fabric that is softer and more pliable.  When I put it around my neck it was scratchy and bulky and knew right away that it wasn't going to be worn by me anytime soon.
