something from nothing

A new music bag.

for. me.

Made from nothings:
Little pieces of decorator samples
and other little bits and pieces.

Inside linen leftover from my Christmas quilt.

You KNOW I love to make 
something
from
Nothing.


Now Here's something that's NOT from nothing.....

Blackbottom Cupcakes.

This recipe's an OLD, OLD favorite.
It goes WAY back to when I began dating my husband!!
SOooooo....
Of course...
I had to make them TODAY!!!
It being valentine's day and all.
Right?

*1 pkg. Devils food cake mix.

Prepare cake mix according to package directions.
Fill cupcake papers 1/3 full with mixture.
In separate bowl mix together:

*1 (8 oz) pkg. cream cheese
*1 egg
*1/2 C. sugar
* 1 C. chocolate chips

 Drop a small spoonfull of this on each cupcake.

Bake according to cake mix instructions.

Then....
Try NOT to eat them all before your husband
gets home from work!!!!!

  3. I love the bag. The embroidered flower piece is beautiful and it looks like the whole bag flows around this piece. I love these kinds of challenges.

  5. I feel so free to create with those little leftover scraps, no loss if it doesn't work out, but the project usually becomes a favorite!

  12. Yup, I love that bag and I love that it's made out of bits and pieces of this and that although it doesn't have that look at all. It looks expensive to me!
