SANTA STAR MAKE-DO / LARGE

I adapted this make-do from a pattern by Homespun From The Heart

Santa and star are made from muslin which has been stuffed with polyester filling.

The star has been color washed in gold paint and mica flakes have been added to the tips of the star.

Santa is lightly stained and has beads for eyes, which are sewn on.

His nose is sculpted and his beard is wool that I've attached with a felting needle.

His hat is made from homespun that has glittery gold thread through it and I've sewn a rusty bell  onto the tip.

Santa is attached to a wooden candlestick that I painted black and lightly distressed.
 Make-do measures 15 inches

Mom's Nutmeg Cake

My younger sister Donna called me last night to get our Mom's nutmeg cake recipe.  YUM, I haven't made it in quite some time, but now I HAVE to, my mouth is watering for it and it's only 9:30 am!!!
This cake is too good not to share.  It is NOT a moist cake, but what you put on top makes up for it, and the cake also tastes yummy without anything on top at all, with a cup of coffee, tea or milk.
 
NUTMEG CAKE 
1 c. sugar
2 c. flour
1 c. buttermilk**
1/2 c. shortening
1 egg
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. vanilla pinch of salt
**substitute for buttermilk:  add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar OR lemon juice to measuring cup.  Then add your milk to fill line.  Let stand 5 minutes before using.

Topping
1 boxes of vanilla or banana pudding ( We always used the kind you cook but you can certainly use instant).
Slice up 2 bananas and mix with pudding.  Just spoon as much as you like over each cut piece of cake.  I come from a family of 9 so we always made at least 2 packages of pudding and added more banana.
Enjoy!

Welcome To My ~New~ Selling Blog

You may know me from my Krazy Kraft Lady Blog or Prim Patterns 'n Handmades Blog.  I currently do have a website for selling my crafts but I'm seriously considering not renewing when it comes time this winter.  Before I take such a drastic step, I thought I would try selling from a blog and see how that goes.

All craft items are handmade by me in my smoke and pet free home.  Occasionally I may add a non -handmade item when I feel the need to downsize on the many things I pick up intending to use in my crafting, but find after a year it's still collecting dust and should go to a new home.

In October  to kick off my new blog, I will be offering a giveaway.  I currently have 2 going on at
The Krazy Kraft Lady  and Prim Patterns & Handmades until the end of Sept.  Be sure to check them out if you haven't already.
