Hot Banana Pudding & Card Swap

2009-11-10T07:36:00.009-05:00

Well its that time...... cooking, baking, gift making

I have everything but dessert planned out for thanksgiving. Tired of doing the pumpkin rolls and pumpkin pie so I'm still on a search for something different to try for this year.

My vacation from work is the week of Thanksgiving so I'll take that time to put up my tree and a few decorations outside, hopefully it will be warm lol

CARD SWAP

I love to receive christmas cards and I'm ready to get started on my list. As you know last year I had fun with card swaps you can see what I did here I've already bought some prim cards they are too cute, now I'm working on things to go inside them :)

If you're interested in doing a christmas card swap with me, leave me a note here and send me an email to eweniquetreasures@yahoo.com with your info. I figure I'll have sign ups from now til the 20th and mail out time will be by December 1st.

Cards can either be store purchased or handmade whatever you desire. On December 1st I'll be back here to post a reminder to have all the participants mail them out.

Last week I was a lil under the weather and I was craving banana pudding and wouldn't you guess it not a box in the house! lol so I whipped up some homemade pudding didn't have any cookies but it was just as good. A comfort food that I will definitely make again here's the recipe.

4 tablespoons flour

1/2 tsp salt

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 cups milk

3/4 cup sugar

2 bananas, sliced

in a medium sized sauce pan add the flour, salt, milk and sugar. Cook on medium heat stirring often til sauce thickens.

Once mixture thickens remove from heat add bananas and vanilla and now would be the time to add vanilla wafers if you like. I like to eat mine hot but you could also refrigerate it and eat it later.

Happy Tuesday

Wednesday Inspiration,10/28/09

2009-10-28T11:57:00.005-05:00

Just a quick little project, not sure if you remember or not from when I posted pics of my sisters house she had a lot of longaberger or however u spell it baskets throughout her home well i duplicated a basket that i saw she had in her dining room on her table, cause i can't afford that brand living by myself now lol

so i took a simple chip n dip basket

I spray painted it black- sorry didn't get a pic of that but I'm sure u got the visual lol

added some pipe berries, some candy corns I made, cake candle and a hurricane glass and woila I have the same basket way cheaper.

not much of a project but thought I'd share, for christmas I'm gonna take out the berries and add a wreath, change out the candle color etc might remove the hurricane glass and use lights on the wreath

oh and my candle is sittin inside a glass dish and i used the hurricane glass because i will b burning the candle don't need to start any fires lol.

if you want to use a candle and not burn it the glass dish n hurricane are not recommened.

Happy Thursday help yourself to some donuts

2009-10-22T06:23:00.007-05:00

Ugh its been a long week, have had to work up front, co workers son has

the swine flu, so haven't been able to post my halloween stuff yet but I haven't

forgotten. Not feeling too well myself, but pushing myself to keep going drs

appt is not for another couple weeks

I fixed some homemade donuts which I shared with you the recipe before, but last

weekend I wasn't up to going all out so instead of making my own dough I used canned biscuits and I'm here to tell u they taste just as good if not better.

Just took the larger size biscuits cut the center out and plopped them in the oil for bout 2 to 3 minutes each side. Made a glaze for some of them just using confectionary sugar water and vanilla, some were just sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar and the others powdered sugar.

I know not fat free but hey we deserve to go all out sometimes.

2009-10-15T05:58:00.007-05:00

Yep bout that time for PUMPKIN CARVIN!! had planned on going to a pumpkin and apple orchard farm but the rain has fixed that so wally world pumpkins it is this year. Also picked up some apple cider gonna warm that up and fix some homemade donuts! Walmart also has those flavored teas out right now for the holiday season lets see we got sugar cookie flavored im trying that one first lol candy cane and gingerbread spice they are all decaf so I can drink them and if I don't like the taste I'mma dip my primitive fabrics in them to stain them so they smell good so its a win win situation lol

Below is just a little project, still haven't managed to download those halloween project pics yet but I will get to it b4 halloween gets here I promise lol

what's funny is I made a chalkboard around this time last year LOL a p ic of that one is somewhere in the blog archieves but when I moved from my parents house my mom hinted for it so I let her have that one. Didn't have any more old picture frames to use so this frame was handbuilt. Nothing major but thought I'd share. Been sittin here thinking about hosting a swap but not sure what to do just yet I usually like to do a stocking swap or something of that nature if you gals have any ideas of swaps u'd like to see let me know. Okay best get back to work you all have a great day!

Honey Bunn Cake

2009-10-12T07:13:00.006-05:00

I've been meaning to get back here with pics of stuff I've been creating but half of my pictures are at home on my computer and I hardly get on the computer when at home now so I'm gonna try and remember tonight to get online so I can post the pictures of the halloween tokens I made a couple weeks ago.

Yesterday it was chilly here so I was in a baking mode. Made the honey bunn cake you see above, it is so moist n yummy. I brought a piece with me for lunch today to enjoy.

This recipe I got from my coworker but you can find it anywhere online recipes for this cake are all the same other than the fact that you can substitute applesauce for the vegetable oil if you like.

Honey Bunn Cake

Cake Ingredients:

1 box yellow cake mix, 2/3 cup vegetable oil,
4 eggs, 1 container (8 oz) sour cream (1 cup)
1 cup packed brown sugar, 1/3 cup chopped pecans,
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Icing:

1 cup powdered sugar

1 tablespoon milk

1 teaspoon vanilla

Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Grease with shortening and lightly flour 13x9-inch pan, or spray with baking spray with flour.

2. In large bowl, beat dry cake mix, oil, eggs and sour cream with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Spread half of the batter in pan.

3. In small bowl, stir together brown sugar, pecans and cinnamon; sprinkle over batter in pan. Carefully spread remaining batter evenly over pecan mixture.

4. Bake 44 to 48 minutes or until deep golden brown. In another small bowl, stir powdered sugar, milk and vanilla until thin enough to spread. Prick surface of warm cake several times with fork. Spread powdered sugar mixture over cake. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Store covered at room temperature. Bake 30 to 45 minutes (my oven took 45 minutes to bake this cake)

this is definitely a keeper recipe for me its so moist and yummy.

So thats all i'll share for today like I said one evening when I'm at home I'll try and download the pics of the Halloween tokens I made to share with you all. Til Then hope you all have a wonderful week Ü

I'll try and start tomorrow and then each day add a new item those are my intentions anyways lol I also have some recipes to share and a photo of my halloween crafts I've been working on so check back each day as I said my intentions are to update my blog every day this week! :)

Firkin #1 this firkin is the smallest that I have and is painted white. the inside is not painted, handle and lid are original and intact. Size: 7.5 wide 8" tall

Firkin #2 size: this firkin is 9.5" wide 10 inches tall, painted blue. the inside is not painted the lid is intact and original however this firkin had no handle when i purhcased it so i made one from a basket and its not intact the handle is cracked on both pegs i have posted a picture to reflect this again this is NOT the original handle.

Firkin #3 is the largest firkin i have size: 11.5 inches wide 11 inches tall very old antique. great detail however the bands are not tightened and the bottom is made in separate pieces and if you move around a lot those pieces come out but can be replaced easily like a puzzle you could probably glue them in place but i've chosen not to do that. Handle and lid are intact. this firkin is NOT painted.

Antique Graters, Firkins, and Antique Food Screens

2009-09-17T12:13:00.008-05:00

Yes I'm still purgin my stuff LOL I have some items that I didn't include with my primitives to sell that I'd also like to get rid of. Thought I'd offer them up here first in a silent auction if anyone is interested.

I'll post pictures of what I have here and if there is any interest you gals just leave me a post here that you'd be interested in a silent auction and if there are a couple of you that'd like these items then in a few days i'll post my email and start the silent auction.

What is a silent auction?

Well those who are interested will email me a bid on the item and or items they like I will collect all bids and end the auction on a certain date and by that date the person who bids highest on the item will win said item.

Reminder that whatever you bid on you'll have to add shipping to that as well. And there will be no reserves on any of the items so start your bidding at what you like.

It's called a silent auction because you don't know what anyone else is bidding your bid remains private.

I will collect payment in us dollars paypal only and only ship to those of you here in the United States

ok with that said here are the items and like i said if enough of you are intersted then in a couple days i'll check and see if anyone has posted here and post the sizes and what not of each individual item so you know what you're bidding on.

and I just took group photos of everything but I'm not selling them together every item will be sold separately such as the pic above with the 3 firkins they will be sold individually

Thanks for looking :) I'll check back soon!

Forever, For Always and no matter what

2009-09-14T06:42:00.006-05:00

Well that verse should of rang true for my marriage but didn't however it does

stand true for all the primitive stuff I've collected over the years lol seems like it just keeps sticking around no matter how much of it I get rid of!

Just wanted to post pictures and show you all I have been busy not just neglecting all my friends here in blog world.As some of you know I was selling some of my items on my blog here and on ebay but it became too tedious and I have way too much stuff so I've boxed it up and gave it to my mom to peddle to some of her friends and my sister's friends and if it doesn't sell there is a lady with an antique/prim shop that will buy it all in one lot. So yesterday I got all this stuff and loaded up my mothers truck with it.

As you can see theres ton of stuff and that didn't even put a dent in what I have I wish I could blink and make it all go away lol

I've sat some of my halloween/fall stuff out in my home and I plan on planting some mums out front in the flower box when I get those things done I'll snap some photos. Til then you all have a great week!!

Wednesday Inspirations, 7/29/09

2009-07-29T06:18:00.009-05:00

I hope everyone is having a great week!

The project I told you all about last week I took a picture of finally. The closeup is below and another pic at the top. Gonna stick a few of these flower posts in my next yard sale to see how they do. Might paint some red and some black as well as the white. This one I made for my sister and mine is waiting to be painted, not sure what color I want yet. Think I might even add a sign to them.

Went to the dr waiting on my test results to come back so far my blood pressure is up, I have sinusitis and rhinitis LOL come out of there with way too many prescriptions. Thank you all for wishing me well I feel way better than I did last week.

Was hoping to have another yardsale this weekend but rain will halt that too til maybe the weekend after next so I hope to get busy sewing some more pocket books and I think I'm gonna start making some of the gumdrop ornies to sell like I made last year for my tree. I'm putting together a package for a friend of mine will take pics of what I send her when I get that done.

The above pic is my inspiration for you all this week and no its not mine, I just found this pic surfing online. Thought this idea would look good in a primitive/country bathroom. I have several chairs down in the basement I'd like to do something like this with but where I'm renting right now that's out of the question but a girl can dream can't she? lol

and here's the closeup of the flower post I made without the flower hanging on it

quite simple construction not a lot of fuss, thats my kind of project LOL

Painted it and distressed it

Ok I know I'm rambling now so I'll let ya'll go...wishing you all a wonderful week and I'm off to check your blogs and see what you all have been up to :)

Wednesday Inspirations,7/22/09

2009-07-22T06:55:00.007-05:00

Well this week is dragging for me..... I've been under the weather since last Friday and can't seem to shake it, so gonna call the doc today to get an appointment. I was so sick last saturday I didn't get out of bed for the day or the yardsale but my mom n aunt held it for me. They made me close to 400 bucks. I'm hoping if I feel better by August 1st I can hold another one and get rid of the rest of my stuff.

Many people looking to buy cookbooks. I had a couple in my box of books and magazines to sell but I love my cookbooks that's not something I usually part with. I haven't been to the first yardsale this year myself........ doesn't seem to be that many out and about at least not in this area anyway.

So as you can see by the top photo I'm still on the red and white kick. Just a punch of that color here or there really seems to liven up a room and make it cozy. I wouldn't be looking up white rooms but that's what I have to deal with in renting right now so white it is! lol

I love the touch of red on the towel in this next picture its ric rac and the red lettering on the sign.

the red and green in this white room make it cozy

I chose this picture because I like the look of the box spring showing with the red on it. Maybe finding a striped or red patterened fitted sheet overtop a box spring and matching pillows would tie a room together.

Again I have no idea where these pictures came from I save as I go for inspiration for my home and thought I'd show you all what's goin thru this mind of mine lately LOL scarey huh?

I've got a wood project going right now well someone is making it for me I'm just supervising LOL have already bought the wood for it just gotta get them started....when its finished I'll post pictures maybe by the end of next week cause I want to sell some of them at my next yardsale.

Til then I'm wishing you all a great week :)

Wednesday Inspirations, 7/15/09

2009-07-15T13:47:00.004-05:00

Been a long time since I posted Wednesday Inspirations haven't had anyone submit anything and I haven't been decorating. I'm actually still living out of boxes LOL so I found these RED n WHITE photos online loved these rooms so thought I'd share them with you all. I haven't the slightest clue where the photos came from when I'm surfing the net and find something I love I just save them to my computer to keep for inspiration.

and no I haven't finished that guest room I was unhappy with that red and white comforter I bought so back it went. I still have the mustard and white up for now these photos just make me want to get back on track again with the decorating LOL if only I could have one of you talented women over to help me decorate I'd have it made cause I can never make up my mind.

Went thru some of my yardsale stuff last night so I need to definitely make up my mind what I want to keep and what I want to go because what doesn't sell is going to the town trash! I'm determined that next time I move I will not have as much stuff............. but somehow I doubt that happens lol

A lil project

2009-07-13T08:00:00.005-05:00

I wanted to try something outside of my realm. So.... I found the easiest purse pattern I could over at Tiny Happy's Blog and gave it a go with some scrap fabric not too bad for my first one. I am going to attempt this pattern again using some interfacing next time to make it more sturdy and better fabric now that I know its a manageable project for me.

My photo doesn't show it very well so make sure you check out Tiny's she has a finished photo of hers.

This one still needs a button and I cannot get around in my craft room to find one right now because I'm gearing up for a big yard sale next Saturday, have to get rid of some stuff I brought from my other house prims and furniture and who knows what else-hoping it doesn't rain this saturday so I can do that. Which reminds me I need to check the weather and call the town to see how much permits are......ahh so much to do so little time LOL

Wishing you all a great week :)

I'm back

2009-07-08T07:21:00.009-05:00

Had a wonderful time in Michigan I saw two great lakes: Lake Erie and Lake Huron got to see horseshoe island on Isabu river think i misspelled that LOL um lots more lots of malls was a lot of traveling for 5 days so happy to be off the road.

Most of the prim places I saw were through Ohio and I didn't get to
stop and look at any of them :(

Mostly in Michigan I saw a lot of cottage/beach, lighthouse and rustic/log cabin decor.

for those of you on my facebook page I posted 4 different albums of pictures
and for those of you not on my facebook I had over 70 pictures which I can't post here LOL but here are a couple for you to see :)

The photo above was taken at Harrisville State Park part of Lake Huron I believe it was my favorite spot on the whole trip wish we would have had time to camped there.

The pic below was taken inside a store called Cabela's huge store for hunters and fisherman, on the top floor was a restauraunt where you could order elk, and all the other wild exotic animals out there

This was taken outside of the RAINFOREST CAFE in the Great Lakes Crossing Mall, Inside lots of fish and more of this fun stuff

Below is a raft/aka house boat this and a view of the sleeping bear dunes is what you see AFTER walking down 267 some stairs give or take a few LOL at the top of all those stairs is a lumberman monument and other fun stuff

Haven't really done any decorating I've been busy moving items out of my older home to my new one in hopes of having a big sale to get rid of some items I no longer need. Trying to simplify things a bit more I don't really need all that stuff especially if I move again LOL

Got some Lillies planted outside. Vacation is coming up in a bout a week I might be going to Michigan if I do I will take lots of pics suppose to stay up around Lake Heron I think its called.

Other than that not much to report just work at the office and yard work at home lol Hoping after I have my sale I"ll have some extra cash to buy things I want to decorate the home with. And I'm itching now to get started on Christmas gifts and cards so I can get that out of the way.

I have a new pasta salad I want to try if it turns out to be a keeper I"ll post a pic and the recipe on here to share with you all.

Hope everyone is enjoying their summer I miss you gals, I promise not to stay away too long this time :)
