I've never made macaroons, but I bought some recently that were SO MOIST & dipped in dark chocolate. OMIGosh, amazingly delicious. Now you have me craving one. Shoot. They were in LA & I'm in San Francisco. :-/ Post pics of the finished product, so we can all drool.
Oh how I love macaroons. Living in London they were so easy to get. But I just got home a couple of days ago and their not as easy to buy in LA. Do you have a favorite place to buy them from. I heard Joans on third in West Hollywood has some pretty delightful ones. I might just stick to baking my own as well!

I have a large growing pile of fabric scraps. I refuse to throw them away because I am sure they can be used for something. I have been seeing different types of interesting necklaces made of buttons, beads, and fabric. Then, I figured why not make one out of my scraps...
I think it made my white shirt a little less boring. This was so quick and easy to make.
Â
How to make a recycled scraps necklace (which is very similar to the straps on my braided tablecloth bag):
1. Take your scrap fabric, I cut a .5''-1'' snip and tear the rest of the fabric down for a nice frayed edge. Used 3 different fabrics for each strand.
2. Take 3 of the torn pieces and tie the ends together with a rubber band.Â
3. Braid the 3 pieces together and tie ends together with rubber band when done.
4. Repeat steps 2 & 3 for more strands. Remember you can make the strands any length you want, if run out of fabric, just weave more into the braid.
5. Once all the strands you want are braided, gather one end of each strand together and straight stitch together with sewing machine. Repeat for the other ends of the strands. Snip off any excess.
6. Gather ends of the necklace and sew together (snip excess) or a ribbon can be sewn at the ends to be able to tie the necklace closed, but I just sewed both ends together.Â
7. Voila! A nice way to make use of all your lovely scraps.
Sorry if the directions get you a little lost, but it really is easy. I promise. Maybe I should put some in the shop. Please share any other good ideas you may have of things that can be made with scraps. I would love to hear (read) them!
send some over here..yum!
Macarons! mm. I want to make some too. Good idea!
I'd like to make a trade. I would like macaroons and I'll make you mochi cake. 🙂
