A great way to food prep or really just to do a quick dinner or side dish is throwing everything on a sheet pan lined with foil and baking it. I threw a bunch of vegetables on a pan and drizzled it with oil and sprinkled salt, pepper and garlic and then baked it for about 20 minutes at 350 degrees.
Our neighbor had come over with lots of tomatoes for us out of her garden and they were all ripe and needing to be eaten soon. So we decided to slice them up and sprinkled salt, pepper, garlic, oregano and shredded mozzarella cheese on them. We had placed them on a baking sheet lined with foil and sprayed it with oil.
When I bought my new cutting machine my daughter wanted a bow for her hair. The software already had a template and I was easily able to put together a bow by cutting and glueing it together.
I love the stud leather earrings, but I you can use any shape and the great thing about the machine is that you can adjust the size to whatever you want and then you can layer different materials to make ANYTHING!! These are just the start I was able to do this weekend stay tuned for more!
We went on a cruise for our 10 year wedding anniversary and I had a lot of pictures that I wanted to make a scrapbook for . I found a cute nautical scrapbook at the craft store, and paper that was on clearance, so I decided to start putting it together. This project went pretty quick because the pictures were in order so I could group them by day etc.
Sock animals are hard to make and take a while to finish because your sewing little pieces. We made this owl by cutting a couple small pieces for the arms and ears and sewing them to the toe part of the sock. It helps to cut along an existing edge/fold on the sock so that its one less side you have to sew. We stuffed each piece first before sewing it up.
When we got an egg Grill it needed to be up on a table so my husband made a table for it. He bought some 2×4’s and made a frame, and then cut out the circle for it to sit in at the top. He wanted to be able to move it so he put wheels on the bottom. Eventually we will stain it or paint it but for now we are letting it weather a little bit so the stain will stick.
My mom taught me how to Hem pants for my husband as they are always too long for him. Dress pants make me nervous to hem but it actually was pretty easy. I first had to cut off about an inch at the bottom because we had to bring it up about two inches. Once we cut that excess off we ironed the bottom exactly where we wanted the new bottom. We pinned it all into place at the very bottom so it wouldn’t shift around as I attached the hemming tape. Instead of buying the iron on tape , I got the kind that needed to be ironed on so it would last. It looks like ribbon but you sew it onto the bottom of the pants only to the end that was cut. I did that by using the sewing machine all the way around.
We have this ledge in the entrance balcony to our house that I like to decorate for different seasons/holidays and our normal farmhouse decor. I put together this arrangement after getting the HOME sign from a local home decor store because I had a gift card to use up. The other decorations are things that I already had but I think that they go nicely together.
I have wanted to make a welcome sign for the front porch for a while and finally got to doing it yesterday. I already had scrap wood left over from another project we did and I had already stained it so it came together really quickly. I first attached the two long boards by nailing some smaller scrap pieces horizontally on the back every six inches or so.
