Art day with Kelvie

She made a tote out of a old rag rug and it was so much fun. She saw a picture of a recycled bag and loved the idea that everything was found our reused. We went through old scrapes of fabric old buttons and yarn, what a fun project.

The 1st project she made was  mixed media art. She wanted to use butterflies and the colors she liked were the greens and blues so that was our start. Look what she made!!!  What a great job.

My nieces are so much fun. I love all kinds of art and sewing projects with all of them.

On Friday after Thanksgiving Taylor ask me to help her make a collage for her Dad for Christmas. They had been to the Paul McCartney concert and she thought it would be fun to make him something with all the memorabilia she had collected. Laina thught it would be fun, as long as her cousin was making one she would too. We all had a lot of fun and I think both projects turned out great. The girls did a wonderful job.

Get Excited and Make Things

May 29, 2009

 



First of all I would like to show off the collage from Laura Pace of Found Memories.
I signed up on her blog for the Get Excited and Make Things. I received in the mail the color block collage and a cute card with a recipe. I don’t know Marion but I think I have a lot in common with her. Thanks Laura, It is so much fun to get art from others and see what they are working on .

Now for Croutons

Yes Croutons

We have lots of lettuce and spinach in the garden, it has been salad everyday.
I have been making my own croutons so thought I would give you the recipe.
This is the fast method for a small portion
Cut 4 slices of bread in cubes
put in a microwave safe bowl
cut 3 1 Tablespoon slices of butter or margarine and spread out on top
sprinkle about 2 Tablespoons of Parmesan cheese on top
sprinkle about 1 Tablespoon Italian season on top
Now put in the microwave for 1 min.
take out and mix
microwave for 1 more min. and mix
now microwave for 1 more min.
let set for a few min. and you should have a nice crunchy crouton.
If your microwave does not cook as hot as mine you may need to put back in for 1 more min.
My Internet at home is not working, so I will not be getting e-mail or be able to respond to anyone this weekend.
Have a good one!!!!
