Knotted Hair Bun

Knotted Hair Bun

I like this one. But I do think

my hair needs to be a bit logner

to really get it too look better. If I 

decide to wear it down. Like she 

says in the video. 

It was really easy and fast to do. 

I also only used four bobby pins. Which

for me I usually have to use more then that. 

I am going to wear this tomorrow at 

Scrap Fest. :)

I love her tutorials.

Here is what it looked like when I was done. 

If you don't know how to do a french or Dutch braid. 

Please follow this link and she will help you out. 

How to do  French or Dutch braids

I need to move the braids over a bit and I did not have any 

of those small clear ponytails left. So I had to use 

my girls small color ponytails. I used back with the hope 

it would hide a bit better. 

I took out the bobby pins for the night and left in the braids.

I love the look braids give when they are taken out. So this is what 

I did with my hair today(Sept 6, 2012). 

I just stuck it up with a clip and then

add a cute scarf I had.

Remarkable Fudge

Remarkable Fudge

This is my and my family's favorite fudge. I got this recipe

from my Mom. 

Remarkable Fudge

4  Cups sugar

2  5 1/3 ounce cans evaporated milk

1  Cup butter or margarine

1  12 - ounce package (2 cups) semisweet Chocolate pieces 

1  7- ounce jar marshmallow creme

1  teaspoon vanilla

Butter the sides of heavy 3-quart saucepan. In it combine sugar, evaporated milk, 

and butter or margarine. Cook and stir over medium heat till mixture comes to a 

boiling. Cook to 236 degrees (soft-ball stage), about 12 mins, stirring freequently

(mixture should boil gently over entire surface). Remove from heat. Add remaining

ingredients; stir till combined adn chocolate is melted. Turn into a buttered 9x9x2-inch

or 13x9x9-inch pan. Score into squares while warm; cut when firm. If fudge is soft, chill.

Makes about 3 1/2 pounds.

This is how I open my evaporated milk cans.  My 

girls always love to do this part.

 I melt the butter first. Then once it is all melted. I add the 

sugar and evaporated milk to it.

Once it comes to a boil I put the timer on if you don't have 

a candy thermometer. They cam out to about the same. 

I did have to this time do it a bit longer but since I had 

the candy thermometer I went to what it says. 

I have done it before with the timer and it turns out 

just right.

 The fun part of adding the chocolate and marshmallow

creme.

 Enjoy!!!!

   Happy Cooking!

Round Placemats & Coasters

Round Placemats & Coasters

My 8 year old asked if we could start using placemats

at dinner time. So we went onto the internet and found 

a pattern she liked. We then went out and she got to pick

the color of yarn she wanted.  

She picked a beautiful green and pink and pink yarn. 

I worked on them for  a few weeks. Did them in between orders 

and my free time.  

Here is where I got the link:

Crocheted Placemats

Here are a few pictures of our placemats

Hint: I did do an extra round at the end. I did a slip stitch

all around it. I thought it made for a cleaner look. 

For the Coasters I just did the first five rounds on the pattern. 

I then did a one single crochet in one stitch and then two 

single crochets in the next all the way round. Then in the 

last row I did a slip stitch all the way around. 

They were really easy to make and can't wait to tackle a new

placemat pattern soon. 

 If you can't knit and would like these Placemats &/or Coasters.
