Dew" It Yourself Jewelry Stand. Given that title and my penchant for puns, I'm guessing it will take you guys exactly 3.7 seconds to guess what my new jewelry stand is made from: Aw, you only needed two seconds, didn't you?
I knew it. Yep, this pretty green number is made from four plastic Mountain Dew bottles and exactly $3.72 worth of materials from the hardware store. Not too shabby. It also only took about two hours to make, so let's get to it! First, collect your bottles. If you happen to have a Diet 'Dew addict for a spouse like me, this will take less than three days. I found it easiest to cut the bottoms off my bottles with a strong utility knife, and then trim them down further with scissors. Other than the bottles you will need: One 12-inch length of threaded rod (no cutting necessary; they come this size in the hardware store) and one baggy each of a coordinating size nuts and washers.
Drill holes that are the same size as your threaded rod in the center of each tray: Now you're ready to assemble your stand! Ranch Farmgirl >> Pink & Pretty & Red All Over. : RanchFarmgirl High Plains Prose Our farmgirl chapter met at my house recently. A Valentine's Day theme for our craft project and gift goodies was the game plan. Come on in and sit a spell. "Think pink" has been my mantra in preparation for the upcoming light-hearted holiday (pun intended). Ok, so here we go to the "High Plains Sage Hens" farmgirl conflab (is that really a word?). From left to right: Lisa, Anita, Michele, Jennie. I'll try to keep some order here. Lisa gave each of us a beautifully wrapped trio of pink tipped yellow roses (below) with a gourmet candy bar tied on with ribbon.
Jennie took a few pics with her phone ... stitching up hearts ... Gift bag from Michele, roses from Lisa ... Shery and Anita ...

Message Heart With Wings. How to Make Leaf Skeletons. I wanted to share with you a project from one of my readers who shares with us how to make leaf skeletons.
I LOVE this! I have several leafs in various forms displayed in my home and knew I needed to make some of her leaf skeletons to add to my decor. I love how a pattern of leaves can enhance the beauty in your home. So I asked Heather if she would mind sharing her project with you. You can find more great projects from Heather at her blog The Other White House. I have spent hours and tried various ways of making these. You need washing soda, not baking soda! Gather your leaves. Washing soda is a strong base so you may want to wear gloves when handling the leaves.
You will add 3/4 cup of washing soda and 4 cups of water to your pot of leaves. Keep going, you will need to add more water so your pan doesn’t dry out. When 1.75 hours are up fill a glass baking dish with cool water. I carefully removed them and rinsed with water and added clean water to the pan. 37.1Kstumbleupon.
