Chocolate Orange Scones

I am not a cook! So if I give you a recipe you can take it to the bank, it is going to be great! This is one of my favorites! I make this one a lot in the winter for my kids. The hubby and I love to eat these with a hot cup of coffee. You can even prepare these the night before and then pop them into the oven in the morning. (Great for Christmas!)
Ingredients
2 cups of flour
1/3 cup sugar
2 Tsp of baking powder
1/2 Tsp salt
1/2 cup of butter
1 Tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
1/4 cup of orange juice
1 Tsp rind of an orange
3/4 cup of chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Prepare a baking sheet with foil and spray it with cooking spray. Mix all of the dry ingredients. Add the butter and cut in with a pastry blender or fork. Mix in the wet ingredients. Add the chocolate chips and the orange rind. I like to mix it together and then place it in a ball, flatten the dough ball into the shape of a disc. Cut the dough disc into 8 equal parts and place them on the prepared baking sheet pan. Cook for 15 minutes and serve hot.

If you don't like chocolate, you can supplement the orange juice and rind with lemon and add blueberries instead of chocolate chips. Yum!!! 
I know I am writing this all wrong because most food blogs start with a life story about how this was their Grandma's recipe but that is how this seamstress rolls. I know you are busy sewing, so this recipe is short and sweet so you can get back to the important things and sew. 

Best Wishes and Tons of Stitches!

This looks easy and delicious! How would it work with gluten free flour? Any suggestions for modifications?

Sweet Coin Purse Tutorial for Teacher Gifts

This time of year is so special to me because I get to show my gratitude for all of the hard work that goes into teaching my daughters. I love to make handmade gifts and this year is no exception. Since money does not grow on trees around here, I looked at my stash (I keep my scraps in hat boxes ) and tried to see what I had a lot of; small zippers, trims, Peltex strips ( from making iPad cases ), fabric scraps and some hardware for key fobs. So I set to work.  Materials: Plastic multipurpose 5" Zipper  Fabric Scraps Lightweight interfacing 808 Pellon Trims (We clipped  key fobs  with 1.5" swivel hooks onto our coin purses . There are tons of tutorials on making key fobs .) Step 1: Print out the Coin Purse Template  PDF.  Cut 2 main fabric, cut 2 lining and 2 interfacing using the template.  Optional: Cut a 2"X2" square of your choice main fabric or lining. This strip of fabric is used to clip a key fob to your coin purse later....

Cute as a Button Bookmark Tutorial

These are called Cute as a Button Bookmakers. They are cheap, easy to make and are wonderful gifts!  All you need is  Bookmarkers/ PaperClips Size 45 or 1 1/8" Button Covers and kit Glue Gun Pliers (which you won't need if you get the flat back buttons). Step 1: Make a few fabric covered buttons.  These are size 45 or 1 1/8" buttons. Step 2: If you use normal buttons you will need to take the loops off to make them flat. However you can buy flat back buttons and not have to worry about the loop. Step 3: Add a dab of hot glue to the top of the large paperclip pad and place your fabric button on top of the glue. Step 4: Let it cool and it's ready to use! Happy Crafting!
