Too many episodes of Pushing Daisies have been stuck in my head lately so I got it into my head to try and make Chuck’s Cup Pies 😀 I didn’t bother looking for a recipe because it’s such an easy concept.
You need:
- Strawberries
- Honey
- Sugar
- Pastry
- Muffin tin

Cut up the strawberries into small pieces and put them in a bowl. I used around a punnet and that made 6 pies. Add around 1 and a half table spoons of honey.
Dump in around 4 tablespoons of sugar.
Mix it all together until everything is wet.
Line the muffin tray with pastry. I was in a hurry so I went for a messier… more rustic look XD
Spoon in the strawberry mixture.
 
Add a pastry top.
Fold in the edges and press them with a fork. Don’t forget to poke some holes in the top too!
Bake for around 20 minutes at 180 degrees C or until the tops are all golden and delicious looking.
Trust me, they’re so delicious you won’t even have time to take a photo of the finished project because SOMEONE will eat them all while watching Game of Thrones… ok yes it was me but they were soooo good *_* Go make and eat now, I command you! |

That was one hell of a hiatus! Posts here tend to come all at once or not at all huh?
Tomorrow they are back to being all at once and I’ve got around 20 lined up already starting with some of my current beauty favorites.
Also if you follow via Google Friend Connect you will need to switch over to one of the other options as they are no longer offering blogs hosted on anything other than Blogger that service. Sorry for any inconvenience!
With that out of the way I’ll see you all tomorrow!

Argh Summer (which has turned very wet and cold this week) has brought out my obsession of daisies again! I took down my wall of daisies a couple of months ago so I now have 50 or so of these little flowers laying around just waiting for fun adorable crafts to happen with them 😀
So the first thing I did with them was make some fridge magnets!

You need:
- Fake flowers
- Hot glue
- Felt
- Magnet strips
These daisies came on a big long chain which I dismantled, you can generally pull apart any cheap fake flowers and get something like this.
Because I want them to sit flat I snipped off the pointy part which attached to the stem.
Then I cut some little squares of magnet strips. The base of the flower is curved so I used felt to create a new base for the magnet to sit on.
Cut a circle of felt and leaving a little room in the middle, hot glue two of the sides like this.
Glue down the other two sides when the first ones are dry. Don’t pull it tight otherwise it won’t form a flat base.
Press down the middle bubble of felt with your finger and it should form a little flat square of felt.
Bam! You have a flat area to stick your magnet to… so glue it down ^_^
Winner!
Now make about 50 more and you’ve got an awesome fridge waiting to happen 😀
Any suggestions for other crafts using these? I’m going to make some hair pins/velcro/alice bands with them 😀 If it’s going to be stupidly hot and Summery I’m going to beat the weather at it’s own game >:D |
