Scarlet had a great time finding pictures for these collage fashion hanger girls!

To make them yourself you will need:

-Fashion magazines (faces that fill the whole page are perfect!)

-glue

-scissors

-cardboard (Papa saved us the perfect cardboard pieces for this project!)

Cut, glue and don’t forget to make a little hook at the top so you have a way to hang it.  Use a kid sized hanger to help get the shoulders the right width.

Scarlet loves dressing them up.  I am thinking we may have to make a cut out wood version if they continue to be loved.  A lightweight wood, some mod podge…I could totally make it happen.

Sfarkle Play Dough!!!

SOOOO FUN!

Mix together in a glass bowl:
1 cup flour
1/2 cup salt
2 tsp cream of tartar
1 Tbsp veg oil
1 cup water
food coloring to your liking (blue is Scarlet’s fave)

Mix it up real good. It looks soupy, but don’t worry.
This is the part for the adults:
Next put it in the microwave for 2 minutes. Take it out
and stir stir stir. Put it back in for two more minutes.
Take it out and stir stir stir again. If it isn’t quite set up
you can put it in for one more minute. Remove from bowl
(Be careful it will be hot!) and place on parchment paper.
Let it cool. When cool add LOTS of sfarkles (glitter).

Wassail recipe

Monday, December 22nd, 2008

We are brewing up some warmth and the house smells so good:)

Wassail:

2 quarts apple juice or cider

1 pt (2 cups) cranberry juice

3/4 cups sugar– (I actually use 1/2 cup)

2 sticks cinnamon

1 tsp whole allspice (I actuallly had this in my pantry–who knew?)

1 small orange studded with whole cloves (or if the bitty oranges at your grocery store looked inedible like they did at mine you can substitute 1/4 of a regular orange or just throw in a splash of orange juice, toss in some cloves and call it good.)

Put it all in a pot and cook covered for one hour and then simmer for 4 to 8 hours.

Makes the house smell delicious, tastes good and warms you up! :)
