Recent Art Projects

I've been taking an art class at our homeschool co-op for a little over mouth and here is my first completed project, a pencil sketched sunflower:

I been working on this for a while now. But here is a painting I did for my aunt and uncle for a going away/early Christmas present. I painting it on a canvas board with two holes drilled in the top and hung with a ribbon.

I knitted this potholder for a friends birthday. I found the pattern online for the pumpkin part, added the color changes, made a back the same size and crocheted the two sides together.

New Recipe: Oreo Trifle

I invented a "new" dessert tonight and wanted to share it with all of you. It is really simple, fast and requires only a few ingredients.

1 pkg. instant pudding mix (any flavor, I used white chocolate)
2 cups cold milk (or whatever pudding requires)
5 - 6 Oreos
Whipped cream (example - Redi Whip)

Whisk milk and pudding mix together and let set 5 minutes or until pudding is set. In the meantime crush Oreos in a ziplock baggie with a meat tenderizer or rolling pin. Add to pudding mixture, reserving about a tablespoon for garnish. Pour into glass or bowl, top with whipped cream and remaining Oreos. Enjoy!

Makes 4 trifles.

Let me know if you tried the recipe and what other combinations you tried. Maybe snickers and chocolate pudding?

Hair clips, Bears glass and Etsy shop?

It has been a while since I posted, here are a few of my recent projects (no knitting ones though, see post below)

I have also been thinking about setting a shop up on etsy, what are your thoughts...would you buy any of my stuff? would other people? Leave your comments below.

Thanks in advance for your input! Blog to you later!
