NEW ITEM OF THE WEEK!

NEW ITEM OF THE WEEK!

This week's new item is The Great Pumpkin Hat, which is listed for $18.99 + $3.50 shipping/tracking.

I found the original pattern at Fave Crafts, but it is only designed for a newborn. So in keeping with my regular order of business, I have altered the pattern and added a cute leaf, so that it will fit ALL sizes: newborn to adult! The hat is stitched in such a cute way that it gives the appearance of the actual lines on a pumpkin.

The original pattern had a vine, but didn't have a leaf. I can make them either way.

Celebrate Fall in style, no matter how young you are!

The Great Pumpkin Hat is available in 6 sizes:

0-3 mo

3-6 mo

6-12 mo

Toddler

Child

Adult

Revisiting some of my old artwork

When I feel like crocheting is taking over my life, I like to dream about all the other crafty things I love to do. Today I was reminiscing about some paintings I've done. One of my favorite paintings is the piece I made for my mother.

She handed me an unfinished wooden cabinet door, and asked me to paint a bird, a nest, and the name she gave to her property.

First, I crackle painted it. Then I took a mouse sander to it in different spots, to give it a more aged look. After I was completely finished, I put 20 coats of clear spray coating, so that it would keep from getting scratched for as long as possible.

I had so much fun creating that one! Here are a couple more shots of the board sign.

I've also painted some artwork on antique windows taken from old homes. I clean up the glass really well, and brush off dirt and mud from the frame. I don't wipe off any grimy spots, since this adds to the aged look of the piece.

I made two paintings for my mother and grandmother, respectively. Each were done in a Halloween theme. I'm proud to say they are used in my family's homes each year for Halloween decorations.

It's tough to choose my favorite of the two,



since I love them both so much!

I have made other paintings, but I always end up giving them away. :(

Now I just need to make time to paint one for myself to keep!

I hope you enjoy them, ♥ Sugar Mama

My FAVORITE Chicken Casserole Recipe --- It's so different!

I know this post has nothing to do with crocheting, reviews, or my shop in general, but I wanted to share with you my favorite recipe for a chicken casserole. It sounds so weird, but it tastes so good! I found it years ago on the Kraft Recipes website.

The first time I made it, I was reluctant after reading the name and ingredients that it would be anything but yucky. Boy, am I glad I tried it out anyway! It has been a favorite with my family for years, now! And it is SO EASY to make!

SWISS & CHICKEN CASSEROLE

Ingredients

*4c Chopped, Cooked Chicken

*2c Croutons

(I use these amazingly yummy $1 bag of cheese garlic-flavored croutons from Wal-Mart)

*1 1/2c Shredded Swiss Cheese

*2/3c Mayo

*1/2c Milk

*2-4 Stalks Celery, Thinly Sliced

*1/4c Chopped Onions

Steps

#1. Combine all ingredients.

#2. Spoon into 2qt casserole.

#3. Bake @ 350° for 40 minutes or until heated through.

How easy is that?!!? I hope you'll try it out. And I hope you'll like it as much as I do!

NEW ITEM OF THE WEEK!

NEW ITEM OF THE WEEK!

In my attempt at being a better blogger, I'm going to strive to keep you posted each week with a new item in my store. The only thing that may hold me back will be whether time permits new items to be created, while I'm working on current orders.

This week's new item is the Brooke Headwrap, which is listed for $16.99 + $3.50 shipping/tracking.

The pattern is from Mamachee, and sports a very unique basket weave design. A lighter color than this will show the pattern better, but the picture below will give you some idea of the beautiful stitching.

This beautiful headwrap closes with a button at the back. Stay toasty warm AND look fabulous in any colors you choose!

It is available in 2 sizes: Infant/Child & Teen/Adult

Colors Shown: Black with Heather Grey flower

GOOD LUCK! <3 Sugar Mama
