Handmade Charlotte | DIY Crafts and Design for Kids It Ain't Rocket Science, but Sock-Making Comes Close By TIMOTHY W. MARTIN Making the world's best high-performance sock is a blistering foot race to the top. NORTHFIELD, Vt. Just ask Ric Cabot, a third-generation mill owner from here, who says he is out to sew "the world's most uncompromising outdoor performance sock." "It's what I call the math of the sock," Mr. Darn Tough Vermont Ric Cabot calls his 'Darn Tough Vermont' socks 'uncompromising.'

THE SUN WAS HIGH: DIY While browsing for DIY ideas, I came across a few collar projects, but they all involved sewing doilies to your shirt/dress, cutting the collar from old shirts or crocheting your own neck candy. Therefore, I decided to make my own DIY tutorial on how to make a detachable collar out of old doilies I found at a thrift store for 1$ apiece. Since it's detachable, this kind of collar doesn't involve commitment: you can wear it with any of your dresses or tops. Plus, you don't need mad sewing skills (unless you're particularly rough with your lace/crochet accessories! Approx. cost: 1$ Total time: about 10 minutes Cleaning & caring: hand-wash with gentle soap (and you do it by hand! Gather your stuff. Make an incision (just a straight line) on the side of the doily and carefully cut out the center. Sew the pearl on one side. Cut a small piece of embroidery thread, make a loop and twist the ends. Now you have a pearl on one side and a loop on the other. Have a good weekend!
CARAMEL CORN...AWESOME AND EASIEST EVER! This Blog Linked From Here The Web Thursday, September 27, 2012 When I say this is the easiest, I'm not kidding! Here's what you need to make this giant pan of awesomeness: 8 oz. bag of Puff Corn (not all bags are 8oz. - I used 2 bags to get 7oz. - close enough) 1 C. butter (do not substitute) 1 C. brown sugar 1/2 C. light corn syrup 1 tsp. baking soda Here's what you do: Place puff corn in a large roaster pan sprayed with cooking oil. In a 2 qt. sauce pan bring butter sugar and corn syrup to a boil, then cook for 2 minutes. Add the baking soda. Stir well and remove from heat. (Don't freak out because suddenly this is in an aluminum roaster pan instead of my dutch oven. Stored in an airtight container, this caramel corn will keep up to 5 days....but it won't last that long....promise.

a daily something: DIY So I've been on a concrete kick lately...there's no hiding this fact! Thanks to my lovely readers, I now know the difference between concrete and cement. Cement is the powdery substance that turns into concrete when mixed with water and it hardens. Wahoo!! Concrete is a fantastic material, and I always feel like a craftsman when I'm working with it... This DIY shows how to make a lovely concrete bowl (and a heavy one!!). - Water - Flexible rubbery bucket (Walmart - $5) - Plastic bowl (for shaping inside of bowl) (Walmart - $2) - Canola oil and paper towel - Gloves (I used rubbery garden gloves, which cleaned off very easily) - Container for mixing (I used an old wheel barrow) - Stir stick - Scoop - 60 lb bag cement mix (Lowes - $3) Then follow these 8 steps: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. All that's left is allowing your bowl to dry completely! Enjoy your new concrete bowl. till tomorrow, Rebecca P.S.
Mel's Kitchen Cafe | Divine Caramel Sauce Sweet and slightly salty, buttery and deliciously caramel, this sauce is heavenly. Fabulous on ice cream, it would also be perfect drizzled over these bars or in any type of application you can dream up (brownies, cheesecakes, cookies – oh my!). Seriously, the options are endless and this caramel sauce is a main staple in my house now. It warms my heart to open my refrigerator and see the jar of caramel sauce cuddled right up to the jar of hot fudge sauce . Two little allies in my corner when I need a healthy dose of food therapy.
