First of all, Bryce Hixson from<a href="http://www.looseinthelabscience.com/"> Loose in the Lab</a> helped me so much! I purchased most of my experiments from them...he even demonstrated them to me so that I would get it right. If you don't live in Utah, he has his demos online on his sight and on youtube.</div>

OK, so all the supplies I got at loose in the lab...you could technically get everything there...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did get a couple things other places</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
erlenmeyer flasks...this is a hard one, I found some online for a good price but the shipping doubled the price. I ordered them anyway...but guess what, they never shipped them. So I ended up getting them at a local store called "developmental scientific" you may have to do the same</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Also, I have to credit <a href="http://onecharmingparty.com/category/mad-scientist-party/">one charming party</a> for helping me with many ideas. She came up with the lab coats from t shirts, her links helped me find the glasses and the original flasks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I highly suggest this party...SO MUCH FUN!!</div>

I had made over 100 crepes and frozen them so they were easy to pull out and warm up for the party. Crepes, all the toppings, and french croissants... (ok, they were actually crescent rolls with a piece of hersheys baked in each one. I didnt think the 6 year olds would know!) There were actually really good!</div>

I had a huge fabric, so I only needed one seam. I put the seam on a diagonal so it would be hidden with the folds.</div>

Then...time to tuft. OKAY, so in the real upholstery world, you would mark and measure your fabric beforehand. That seemed daunting for me, so instead, I just started by doing one row at a time. Remember, you dont pull the buttons from the bottom, you push them down from the top. (or a combination. I was underneath the ottoman and Rob was outside threading the needle through to me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a very long upholstery needle and thread. you thread the button and then put both strands through the needle hole. Underneath, you make one tie, put a little piece of batting in and tie again.</div>

On one of those rare days, where I was feeling energetic, I saw the Ruby Lou Doll pattern at the fabric store. So I bought it, and made these dolls for the girls. They picked out all of their fabric, and were very particular about certain details! Yeah. Now I can say I have made a doll...2 dolls. They love them, that is the fun part!</div><div style='clear:both; text-align:CENTER'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>Chelseahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11238841800344124417noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1604648777721702237.post-56209434894824304992012-04-24T00:14:00.001-04:002012-04-24T00:14:43.100-04:00A fresh flower wreath<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYZquJ9HNBswndbx_KSo1zCTso-lyac4CabrPK4REet9lI9ae-3R_48m4oYgQPsSPX0EqIUNh8AiAQeMS8neS-ddQ5cTmqgBYcAzSVaMP1i4FXlt9RT6r9sbMRP6hOwwnCz_ca4UAOGSI/s1600/IMG_0295.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYZquJ9HNBswndbx_KSo1zCTso-lyac4CabrPK4REet9lI9ae-3R_48m4oYgQPsSPX0EqIUNh8AiAQeMS8neS-ddQ5cTmqgBYcAzSVaMP1i4FXlt9RT6r9sbMRP6hOwwnCz_ca4UAOGSI/s400/IMG_0295.JPG" /></a> </div><div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;">The other day, my mom came over with all of the supplies to make her favorite wreath. She taught my sister and I how to make one, so hopefully I can share it with you so you can make your own.<br />
<br />
You will need:<br />
a wire wreath form<br />
moss<br />
potting soil<br />
8-10 flowers<br />
green flower wire<br />
water<br />
<br />
<br />
Ok..first you start with wet moss, and you lay it pretty side down on the counter<br />
Lay your wreath form (the wire kind) over it<br />
Now add potting soil over your wreath form, and pour water all over it. <br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgghSJU04EAmhjYr49HN8rbn21YZ_RUQi3GQKNANI8k1_Ficb-bC1NMgwkPOv-rdLSvIFw7d9biLhPyLFo7TNpWkA2sPSfFU1E9qgcmqOmFIUMTwm16Eyth5V9KhMsWcDFIiAhaqZL0lV8/s1600/IMG_0291.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgghSJU04EAmhjYr49HN8rbn21YZ_RUQi3GQKNANI8k1_Ficb-bC1NMgwkPOv-rdLSvIFw7d9biLhPyLFo7TNpWkA2sPSfFU1E9qgcmqOmFIUMTwm16Eyth5V9KhMsWcDFIiAhaqZL0lV8/s400/IMG_0291.JPG" /></a> </div><div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;">Next lay your flowers this way and that so that they alternate sticking out on each side<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghRd7kWn85p3BKGzMFh55PytfV-A1sJEoMFHCtCGsIsShFCASu8wg-TFWiU0N70VHmrjW3Br968YQJWWdrQOhV-AG-iDc9gDCb5ChLLqX_nVxuNN5qHROd0Km66HcbFg6q7SpnLx7Xjz8/s1600/IMG_0292.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghRd7kWn85p3BKGzMFh55PytfV-A1sJEoMFHCtCGsIsShFCASu8wg-TFWiU0N70VHmrjW3Br968YQJWWdrQOhV-AG-iDc9gDCb5ChLLqX_nVxuNN5qHROd0Km66HcbFg6q7SpnLx7Xjz8/s400/IMG_0292.JPG" /></a> </div><div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;">once they are all there, one at a time, wrap the moss from the back around the base of the flowers, <br />
securing at the top and bottom of each flower,with green flower wire<br />
once you have them all in place, use that flower wire and secure all over the place<br />
just wrap around and twist<br />
once you have all the wire secured...use a pencil to curl the wire so it blends in<br />
use multiple strands of the wire to make a hanging loop<br />
<br />
<br />

The texture definitely changes...kind of like outdoor furniture, but looks pretty darn good!<br />

She wears mine around, loves any dress up shoes, and changes hers a couple times a day. So, for her 3rd birthday, I decided a Shoe Party would be fitting.<br />
<br />
I based the party on the book Birdie's Big Girl Shoes. The artist is absolutely amazing, and Birdie happens to look like Jane!<br />

This Costume was harder than it looks!<br />
<br />
I researched hats for weeks...and finally settled on my great grandmothers hat and added peacock feathers<br />
The dress was from SAVERS, but my mom took it in and added little black buttons.<br />
The ring, that you cant see was ordered on etsy.<br />
<br />
But the hair extensions...those were the hard parts.<br />
<br />
I was trying to go cheap...so I bought these ghetto REAL hair 16 inch dark brown/platinum blonde CRIMPY extensions.<br />
First, I dyed them brown.<br />
Then I spent 2 hours straightening them<br />
Then curled them<br />
Next I had to cut them and hand sew clips to them!<br />
Not to mention trying to put them on!<br />
<br />
Anyway, my hair looked longer, but I did have one person ask me if Kate was known for frizzy hair!<br />
<br />
I have to wait for pictures from the photog...so you can see William!</div><div style="clear: both; text-align: CENTER;"><a href="http://picasa.google.com/blogger/" target="ext"><img align="middle" alt="Posted by Picasa" border="0" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif" style="-moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; border: 0px none; padding: 0px;" /></a></div>Chelseahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11238841800344124417noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1604648777721702237.post-84515068801497100202011-11-15T00:00:00.001-05:002011-11-15T00:00:57.263-05:00Ina's Apple Tart<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwwgwQnh7NRutTk-VtEXQkTgkmnYjb1USA4w9eEOHDJcHrb46Dev0FaTmLLukt6Qh-o8srmvphYoHxTRHCGLscHWABHQuPyoglRzRTr1qZO1Wjl0bIm6SZ-mohYR7EZ-XiBqatW5bKajA/s1600/IMG_3095.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwwgwQnh7NRutTk-VtEXQkTgkmnYjb1USA4w9eEOHDJcHrb46Dev0FaTmLLukt6Qh-o8srmvphYoHxTRHCGLscHWABHQuPyoglRzRTr1qZO1Wjl0bIm6SZ-mohYR7EZ-XiBqatW5bKajA/s640/IMG_3095.JPG" width="427" /></a><br />

I tried to dress up my bries a little for a wedding reception.<br />
<br />
I literally just cut off the top rind, making a little bit of a well.<br />
<br />
Then a couple of them I layered pecans, pears and brown sugar before folding the pastry over. I also use various types of jam (my favorite is cranberry blood-orange cherry, but sometimes I just use raspberry.<br />

I ordered a bunch of orange and black lanterns <a href="http://www.justartifacts.com/ads/landings/paperlanterns/1dollar.htm?cp=plan&ad=1dch&kw=chinese%20lanterns&nw=sc">here</a>.

This was one of the easiest tastiest salads I've had in a long time! I worry that figs are getting are getting harder to find...they dont have them at our costcos anymore. But if you can get them, try this yummy salad.<br />
<br />
Figs (quartered)<br />
goat cheese<br />
toasted walnuts<br />
arugula<br />
<br />
(I just used a basic vinaigrette)<br />
<br />
1/2 cup flavored vinegar (balsamic, pomegranite, acai, strawberry, etc.)<br />
1/2 cup olive oil<br />
1/2 red onion chopped in food processor<br />
1 Tb dijon mustard<br />
1 Tb brown sugar<br />
<br />
salt & pepper to taste<br />
<br />

A Couple weeks ago I found <a href="http://www.bystephanielynn.com/2010/11/diy-faux-curled-rosewood-wreath-made.html">This</a> tutorial on a cute Website. I had been looking for a wreath, and thought it would be a great way to go (and cute for September) What I didnt realize..was how LONG IT WOULD TAKE!</div><br />

First...I had to cut up 2 full books, a couple pages at a time in spirals. Then, roll them into flower curls and glue them on to the form...and if you cant tell by the picture, there are a lot of them!</div><br />

They asked me to help with the cake, and I was so excited to try making a "beehive cake." I didnt have the Williams Sonoma cake pan, so I kind of had to make it up!<br />

(The ribbon on the bottom is crooked in this picture and it is kind of driving me crazy. But let me tell you, it really did look cute!) And of cute Izzy was adorable. I'll post more pictures of her party because it was amazing!</div><br />
