Satisfy My Cravings: Muffins

This pregnancy has been a bit odd when it comes to cravings.  With Clark it was ice cream, potatoes, and Taco Bell.  With this little guy it was  pickles early on, Starbursts for the first two trimesters, and then just recently I've had some crazy cravings for muffins and homemade caramels.

I rarely make muffins due to my celiac disease. Although recipes can be altered, and I do it on occasion, the gluten free versions rarely meet my expectations.  So rather than disappoint my taste buds, I've been baking for my boys, and enjoying seeing Clark devour the muffins.

So...should you be in the mood for a muffin, here is a quick little round up of some delicious looking recipes that I've collected on Pinterest. Enjoy them for me.

My Faux Faux Belt

A couple of you commented on the belt that I was wearing with my ruffled petal shirt from Monday's post. It is technically a belt , but I kind of fashioned it out of what I had on hand.  I thought that I'd share it with you.  I also have a couple of more in depth (and slightly more belt like tutorials coming).

So I recently made a trip to one of my favorite local Home decor fabric stores.  They have a huge collection of upholstery textiles that I love, love, love.  I was looking through the fabric when I came upon this faux leather fabric.  They were having a sale on faux leather and I instantly came up with a couple of projects that I wanted to try (one being a belt).   Originally I believe that it was being sold for $12.99, but I got it 25% off, and I only bought 1/4 of a yard, so it didn't cost me much at all.  You only need an inch or two depending on the width of the belt that you want. I ended up purchasing some brown and red faux leathers.  I went in on a free swatch Friday, so I picked up a swatch cut (1/8 of a yard) of some faux black leather for free (plenty to make a belt or two).
