Product Review – The Sewing Loft

Posted on Friday, March 30, 2012 by Christine @ theDIYdreamer.com 26 Comments |

Heather from The Sewing Loft contacted me a few weeks ago, asking me if I would be interested in doing a Product Review of her Fabric Flower Headband Pattern. I explained to her that I don’t sew, I would love to sew.. but I don’t. I own a sewing machine (an old clunker my mother-in-law gave me) and the only sewing I did was back in high school (a pencil case and an apron). However, Heather assured me that her pattern was for all skill levels. Guess what?? She was right!!! I was able to create a headband!! I’m so [...]

Crazy Chocolate Wasted Cake!!!

Posted on Wednesday, March 21, 2012 by Christine @ theDIYdreamer.com 25 Comments |

I came across Art of Dessert a month ago and stumbled upon her Chocolate Wasted Cake! I immediately started drooling over her cake… head over there to see how pretty and yummy her cake looks. I decided to make that cake for Sebastien’s birthday. Looks pretty yummy no? It was really fun to make… HOWEVER a little too chocolate crazy for us. We love chocolate, but after eating this chocolaty cake… we realized we might not be that chocolate crazy! You’ll notice from the photo that I did not cover the sides with chocolate, like the recipe suggested. I just [...]
