Creativity

Looking through some pictures, I have found ton's of fun photo of my families creativity.
Here is just a sample of a few. I will be doing more of each area in up coming months.
This is the first piece of our Hawaiian quilting class that I and "Babs" did

This is just one of the wonderful woodworking projects my talented Husband has done

These are two of the custom flow boards Erik has done

Ella's baby quilt that I finished for her just before her first birthday

A set of Valentine card I and my grand daughter made

Food art is always a favorite. Each year I have taken something to my accountants, sort of a thank you for sorting out the tax mess we have.

And I never have to worry what I will do with food crafts once they are done

This was Aryn showing off "ones" we painted for her cousins one afternoon

Some resin cast I did for a set of jewelry

 Costumes we made for the Masked Ball last Halloween. Most were sewn and designed by myself or my daughter-in-law Alyse.

A centerpiece that I made for the Festival of trees this last December.  One of these days I will do a post on things I have done for the festival.

Another festival donation, this one is a "candy" land board for their gingerbread section. Most of the candy was homemade

Nick and Aryn helping make cinnamon rolls, just like my grandma made with me.
As I unearth pictures in my sorting of the 10,000 or so I have digitally, I will put together more posts. These are just a few I came across as I am getting things ready to move.
Also why I have not been creating much new. Hopefully we can get moved this month and set up to work/play again.

Trees for the Festival

Image
As it is almost the end of January, I felt that I should get myself in gear and finish my 2017 Christmas posts. Here is the process I went though this year for the two large trees and one small tree that I decorated for the Festival of Trees First I measured the spaces needed down in my basement game /family area. This tree required a 7x9 foot area and the other required a 9 by 14 foot area. Next I put the trees bag where I wanted to put the tree up in each space. Then I got my ornaments gathered. Next was assembling the trees and checking to make sure the lights worked, as they are always new trees, so far I have not had a problem with lights. Then I put some of the ornaments on, the tree topper on, and the tree skirt around it to check how I am planning it to look. Next I stack the boxes I am going to wrap to had depth and high to the display Then I put out he other items I have that go with the tree theme. This one was a Hogwarts Christmas, of course.

Lasagna

This is an easy to make ahead and in quantities dish. Lasagna First I assemble my toppings And noodles. I use the oven ready noodles as they are easier and less messy Then I chop up my vegetables And add them to the pan with my meat. In this set, I have onions, peppers, zucchini, and hamburger I then fry them together until hamburger is well cooked and mixed with the cooked vegetables Next I start by putting a thin layer of sauce on the bottom top the sauce of my baking dish.    Then put a noodle on that sauce and spreading another generous bit of sauce on top of the noodle. Step 1 Next I spread cottage cheese on top of the sauce and mix it together, spreading it as evenly as I can over the noodle. Step 2 Now I sprinkle a scoop of my cooked meat and vegetable mixture on top. Step 3 Then comes the cheese. I usually use a mixture shredded Italian blend and Colby Jack Step 4 then you cover with another noodle
