Cast Iron Doorknocker~10-23-13

I bought this beautiful cast iron doorknocker at an antique shop.  The price was $9.00.

I am so undecided about whether or not to paint it.  To paint or not to paint...that is the question?  Care to weigh in?

Meatball Pops~10-22-13

Meatball Pops~So simple to make.  10 frozen (thawed) meatballs, 10 refrigerated biscuits; flattened on baking tray, 1/4 tblsp of butter, melted. 2 cups of finely crushed seasoned croutons. Shredded Cheddar cheese.

Flatten biscuits on baking tray.  Sprinkle with cheese.  Place meatball in the center.  Bring up biscuit around meatball.  Pinch closed.  Dip in butter.  Roll in croutons.  Place pinched side down.  Bake for 10-13 minutes.  Add skewer or craft stick to bottom.  Serve with warmed red sauce.   Yummmm!

Before...Sneek Peek~10-20-13

A sneek peek at a little project I am working on.

One very old stool.

Four wheels.  Although these are not the wheels that I used.  I used wheels that have ball bearings so the project can be moved in all different directions as apposed to only a straight line.  Hopefully, by posting this here, it will push me on through to the finish.  I'm not feeling confident about this one.  Do you have any project or ideas that you have been putting off starting or finishing?

Hens~N~Chicks~10-19-13

Bought these beauties at a yard sale on Saturday. $2.00.

This little Hen looked a little ill.  So I hope that being transplanted will bring her back to good health.

Gorgeous...

Three Baby Chicks

Three Chicks in an insulator.

I love the white hobnail against the green.

I hot glued the insulator in a painted clay pot.  I've never had Hens N Chicks before.   I hope I don't kill them.  The internet says they are very easy to grow and care for.  For their sake I hope the internet is correct! LOL!              What is your favorite thing to grow?

A Trip to Pumpkin Works~10-18-13

Checking off another Fall Family Bucket List item.

Cresent Mummy Dogs~10-17-13

It was so cold here today.  The perfect day to turn the oven on and bake something.  Pillsbury sent me a calender late last year.  Each month has a different recipe to try.  Well, 10 months in and I finally made one of the recipes.  Cresent rolls cut into strips,  cheese cut into strips, wrap around hot dog.  Leave a space at the top of the dog.  Bake at 375 degrees for 13 to 17 minutes.  Add mustard and/or catsup "eyes".

Nice and golden brown.

A row of creepy mummies!

Creepy or not, they were yummy!  My girls loved them.  A nice change from plain old Pigs in a Blanket!
