salted caramel cupcakes!

We had some family and friends over for dinner and i was put in charge of making the desert, i chose to make these cupcakes, which i thought was the easy option, but it ended up taking me most of the day.
 But the hard work was all worth it because the turned out really yummy!

 Once you had made the cupcakes you had to make a hole in the middle and pour in some caramel for a surprise, my brother was very scared when he bit into his cake seeing as he hates caramel, but everyone else seemed to like theirs.
when the sugar started to boil for the caramel it looked so cool, this is when the sugar is just changing colour.
If you would like to make some cupcakes like these, then you can find the recipe Here

Knitted christmas tree decorations!


I found these really cute patterns on this blog (which has amazing knitting patterns for all the holidays) and i have been wanting to make them since. they are really easy to make and are quite teeny but look really nice hung up on the christmas tree.

i made one stocking and one hat and now they are hanging happily on the christmas tree with the other decorations.
hope you liked them and try them out yourselves. A x

Triangle nails D.I.Y!

I found this nail tutorial on The dainty squid and have been wanting to try it for ages, i finally got round to it, and i took some pictures to show you how it went.

 its super easy to do and turns out really well.

 The first colour i chose was this pink, because its my favourite nail polish and nice bright.
the second colour i chose was black, because i looks nice in contrast to the pink and stands out.

try and choose colours that are different from each other otherwise it doesn't work as well. The directions are on the link above.

I hope you try out this tutorial and share it will your friends.
