Nearly everything my Gram cooked was homestyle and from scratch.  I know that a big part of that was growing up in a time where convenience foods weren’t readily available, but I also think she just enjoyed making her family something special.   One of those hacks was for  pasta sauce .  While she made a killer homemade spaghetti sauce, sometimes dinner needed to be on the table fast so that we could get to a game or concert.  There was always a jar in the cupboard “just in case”.

Because button crafts are so easy to make, they’re great crafts to make with friends or family, especially kids! You don’t have to think too hard while working on them, so it gives you a great chance to just enjoy the day and chat! I made my ombre DIY pumpkin button craft on a pallet board and made three pumpkins, but another cute alternative would be to just make one or two pumpkins glued onto paper and put in a frame (in front of the frame’s glass). Or just make one pumpkin on a smaller square of wood. Be creative, and as always, have fun! Easy Ombre Pumpkin Button Craft Materials Buttons – in at least three shades of orange and green.

There are few things as relaxing as a warm fire on a cool evening. An outdoor fire pit makes any patio or backyard into a great gathering place where friends and family can eat, talk, or just rest by the fire. Step 1: Preparation STONES We built this fire pit from landscaping blocks. You can use field stone or other materials too. Do not use stones that have been submerged in water; they can explode with the heat of the fire. Concrete blocks may deteriorate from the heat, but they are cheap to replace. DRAINAGE In the bottom center of the pit, we dug a fencepost-sized hole 2 feet deep and filled it with gravel. The hole works like a sump, helping to drain rainwater. ADHESIVES We dry-stacked the stone. It's a quicker way to build the fire pit. If you have to replace cracked or broken stones, dry-stacking makes that job easier as well. If you want to cement the courses, lay cement down only on the outside half of the stones to protect the cement from the heat. Adhesives may melt and ...

I am so happy to finally have my hair curling tutorial ready for you today!  Y’all are so sweet and know how to make a girl feel good about her hair and this is one of the biggest requests I get- to show you how I do mine.  All you need is a 1-1/2 inch curling wand to achieve loose, wavy curls and I’ll show you how to use it with a step-by-step pictorial below. Start with your hair dry and put the middle section up in a clip so you can curl the sides and back. Spray the bottom portion of your hair  lightly  with some iol .  You just need a little to help hold the curl. Grab a small section of your hair, the bigger the section, the looser the curl. Point your wand down and wrap your hair around it, starting with the hair closest to your head.  Curl your hair away from your face. Hold the hair at the wand for 10-15 seconds. Release the hair and hold it in your hand for 10 seconds, so you keep the curl while your hair cools down... Please Click “Next”or “Open”To Read More Repeat this proc...

I'm so excited about this project. This lamp shade came out soooo much better than I thought! I mean it's pretty awesome! :) instructions: Roll the tubes using a sheet of newspaper (fold the big sheet in half and roll), I used a skinny dowel to roll, it makes the rolling process easier and all of them will end up with the same thickness -- I rolled over 200 tubes for this project. Using a glue stick, glue the ends closed. Using the paper color you desire, cover the tubes. Cut the ends of each tube using gardening shears. Start gluing the tubes together (think of a bird's nest) stacking them on top of each other to make the shape (a cake turning table can be very handy while you're making your lampshade). When you're done, sit the lamp shade over a small lamp and you are done! I hope you have enjoyed this DIY !
