Hello Blogger

Sending you in the east lots of Sunshine.

I can't believe that they where saying

that 49 state had snow. Wow!!!

We are have wonderful sunshine.

Loving be able to work in just a t-shirt and no sweat shirt.

What I work on today.

These Antiques signs.

I love going to home depot and getting the wood in

the back that they can't sell.

I bought these 2 pieces of plywood for 52 cents each.

Yeah!!!!

I also have to say. Buy there samples paints.

They are 7.5 oz for 2.99. And have so many great colors.

I wanted to make Antique and didn't have a stencil for it.

And for me I love buying stencil but didn't want to wait.

So I made one myself. I printed the letter out on my

computer. Used card stock. Add tape over the letter and cut them out.

Instead stencils.

I hope you like my signs.

And if you need any help making your own stencils.

Let me know. I be happy to help.

Keep warm Girls

Sunshine blessing to your all

I finally got around to painting

my TV cabinet.

I been wanting to do it for a while now.

This can of black paint has gone a long

way. I bought it at walmart last year for 6.00 a gallon.

And still have a 1/2 gallon left.

I guess someone didn't want it.

Remember to check the 1/2 price section at Walmarts paint.

You never know what you might find.

Still have to paint the inside.

But have to wait until hubby move the TV out.

WE so need to get a flat screen.

Not sure what to put up top.

If anyone has any idea what to put

on top please let me know.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Cinnamon Rolls
Recipe courtesy Paula Deen

.Prep Time:20 min Inactive Prep Time:1 hr 0 min Cook Time:30 min Level:
Intermediate Serves:
12 to 15 servings. Ingredients
Dough:
•1/4-ounce package yeast
•1/2 cup warm water
•1/2 cup scalded milk
•1/4 cup sugar
•1/3 cup butter or shortening
•1 teaspoon salt
•1 egg
•3 1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour
Filling:
•1/2 cup melted butter, plus more for pan
•3/4 cup sugar, plus more for pan
•2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
•3/4 cup raisins, walnuts, or pecans, optional
Glaze:
•4 tablespoons butter
•2 cups powdered sugar
•1 teaspoon vanilla extract
•3 to 6 tablespoons hot water
Directions
Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water and set aside. In a large bowl mix milk, sugar, melted butter, salt and egg. Add 2 cups of flour and mix until smooth. Add yeast mixture. Mix in remaining flour until dough is easy to handle. Knead dough on lightly floured surface for 5 to 10 minutes. Place in well-greased bowl, cover and let rise until doubled in size, usually 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

When doubled in size, punch down dough. Roll out on a floured surface into a 15 by 9-inch rectangle. Spread melted butter all over dough. Mix sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over buttered dough. Sprinkle with walnuts, pecans, or raisins if desired. Beginning at the 15-inch side, role up dough and pinch edge together to seal. Cut into 12 to 15 slices.

Coat the bottom of baking pan with butter and sprinkle with sugar. Place cinnamon roll slices close together in the pan and let rise until dough is doubled, about 45 minutes. Bake for about 30 minutes or until nicely browned.

Meanwhile, mix butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Add hot water 1 tablespoon at a time until the glaze reaches desired consistency. Spread over slightly cooled rolls.

I always wanted a 3 Tier Cake Stand.

So decided to make my own.

I bought 3 plates from the thrift store. 1.50 for all

and 2 candle stick holders.

One is glass the other wood.

I made them grungy with the cinnamon and clear paint.

I used a strong All-purpose Adhesive to glue the

plates and candles stick together.

It took a day for them to dry.

I can't wait to make cup cakes or other pastry to put on them.

Got this picture from a old Mary Engelbreit's mag.

It was the Nov 2003 issue.

She had her in her bathroom with glove and soap.
Stacked Sundries is what she called it.

I hope it inspired someone out there to make one.

And if you do . I love to see.

Have a great day

I just found this poem again.

It was pack away.

It was given to me by a wonderful lady

with a grandchild that had cancer.

Sadly to say she past away.

I made a pillow for her to give to her daughter.

I printed on tea stained muslin.

and added a quilt around it.

I was so thankful she asked me to make one.

Now I am passing it on.

*****************************************

Special Child

A meeting was held quite far from Earth

It was time again for another birth.

Said a Angels to the Lord above,

"This special child will need much love"

"Her progress may be very slow"

"Accomplishment she may not show"

"And she'll require extra care,

from the folks she meets down there."

"She may not run or laugh or play"

"Her thoughts may seem quite far away"

So many times she will be labeled 'different',

'helpless' and 'disabled'."

"So let's be careful where she's sent."

"We want her life to be content."

"Please , Lord, find the parents who

will do a special job for you."

"They will not realize right away

"The leading role they are asked to play."

"But with this child sent from above

come stronger faith, and richer love."

"And soon they'll know the privilege given

in caring for their gift from heaven."

"Their precious charge, so meek and mild

is heaven's very special child."

May your day be filled with blessing today
