Make this Cross!!

The large wooden cross and the small cross are from Hobby Lobby. I painted the large cross with Glidden Wild Truffle sample paint from Wal-Mart. There is enough in the sample bottle to paint the entire cross. I then did a border with a silver metallic marker on the edge. The second cross I purchased at a gift shop. I then put all of them together with Liquid Nails.
If you watch the sales you can get good prices at Hobby Lobby. I would paint front and back of the cross and I would also sign and date it. If you are giving it as a gift you could also include a message.

This is a Dirt Cake and is made in a clear container from Michael's or Hobby Lobby. The sunflower is a Silk with leaves. I made a few of these for a graduation party and everyone thought it was a real centerpiece. We had to tell them they could eat it.
Recipe:
1 large pack Oreos, crushed to the consistency that they look like dirt
1 large pkg. of Vanilla pudding made according to directions

Cream Cheese Filling
1 8 oz. bar of cream cheese, softened
1 12 oz. Cool Whip, mostly thawed
1 1/2 cups Confectioners sugar
Beat the above 3 ingredients together with a mixer until smooth.
Layer crushed oreos, cream cheese mixture and pudding, continuing until full with the top being crushed oreos.
You can also make this in a flower pot with gummy worms for children's parties.

My husband and I recently bought a home to remodel. I will be posting pics soon of the entire project. Please follow my blog to get tips and more information........coming soon!!!!

The snow and cold weather makes me wish for summer. I love vintage outdoor furniture.

Crochet Baby Beanie

If you would like instruction on making this go to YouTube and look at baby beanie's under the Crochet Geek. I kind of did a mix of several of her designs and then did a flower. This is a wonderful lady to follow for instruction.

"Do not regret growing older. It is a privilege denied to many."-Unknown

I feel our age should be appreciated!! Last year I had the privilege of taking care of my sweet Aunt Judy until her death of lung cancer.  I can honestly say that I received more of a blessing from that - than she did. Four months later, I lost my Mother. I miss them both everyday. So if you have your family appreciate them and take the time to tell them.

This week my daughter gave me a new look!!! Did I say that although I am 50 I can appreciate it but I don't have to look like it!!
