I'm not sure if this counts, but I have decided it does. My blog - my rules.
I don't normally bake, and although I wouldn't blog everything that comes out of my oven, I am counting this.
It is ,I guess, considered candy and I don't normally make that kind of stuff but we are going out to the lake next week with lots of family and I thought they would enjoy this.
I got it from the website pinterest.com. And, actually, it didn't come from the oven at all as it is a no-bake recipe. It is made with oreo cookies, cream cheese and chocolate. I do wish I had made a smaller hole in the icing bag so the white chocolate didn't come out so 'blobby'. Mmm-mm
Well, here is my project for week 3. I have a little garden with a few veggies and herbs. I like to dabble a bit with caligraphy so here is what I did. It didn't take long, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. So here it is for what it's worth.....
Well here is my attempt for week 2. Not sure if it is a hit or miss, but I had fun doing it. It is only a dollar store hat with some buttons sewn on.
Got the idea from a jacket I saw that had buttons sewn on all over the collar. The funny thing was that the owner spent alot of time assuring me that she bought it that way and hadn't done it herself!
Well, not such an auspicious start. These looked way cooler in the picture I saw. I think glass looks best, and maybe I didn't use the right kind of paint. They don't look as 'elegant' as I thought they would. They will probably end up in the recycling box at the end of the week.
OK
Here I am trying to jump start my creativity. I am going to try to finish a DIY project every week. It may range from a craft, to trying new music on my violin or simply an at home shoe stretching endeavor,. I will try making gifts, repairing something around my home, photography sewing and who knows what else. I will take pictures of my projects and hopefully see some progress in this area.
I have been recently inspired by a posting on facebook about a site called pinterest.com. It is FULL of great ideas. I have also been made aware of how lives can change in a blink of an eye and find myself wondering that if I looked back on my life, would I think that I had wasted too much time on things that I really think are of little value (playing solitaire comes to mind) ?
So here goes......
