I painted the t-shirt girl.I used red nail polish for her hair and put some glitter red puff paint on the hair too. I smeared the brown puff paint on the leg, but I will try to fix it when it dries. I used acrylic paint for the rest of it. It is hard to paint of material, it moves. But I like how it turned out. My husband wants me to paint a zombie on a t-shirt for my son. It is just a fun way to take a $6 shirt and make it custom.
I added some rhinestones to the flowers in her hand and on her belt. The corner birds are just something I added on pic-monkey when I resized the picture for here.
This is my newest t-shirt. It is a cream color shirt. I drew a girl, holding flowers with a bird on her head. I have not decided what color to paint her. I would love her to have red hair or copper color. The bird will be yellow. I just finished drawing it. My son looks at it and said “Your weird.” I like it.
I bought a new t-shirt. It is white and was just plain. I decided to paint a picture on it. I got out my pencil and drew this girl. I saw a picture that had a girl standing by a big monster. I didn’t want to draw the monster, so I drew her holding a gun that shoots flowers. I used puff paints. I like how it gives added texture to the paint.
I bought a Topsy turvy tomato planter holder. In fact I bought 2 of them. You hang your tomato plant upside down. I went to the store and got a tomato plant and decided to buy 2 of them. I ordered the Topsy Turvy’s at Amazon. They were $7 each. Then I got a bag of potting soil at Home Depot. You have to stuff the tomato plant into the holder and put this foam thing around the stem. That was “fun”, not really. Then you have to hold the container up so your tomato plant does not break and put dirt into it. I put two chains outside to hang them from. I filled them up with dirt and hung them up. You have to make sure they are watered and not dried out. I don’t know how well they will do. I called my son to help me hang it up. It was too heavy to hold and hook at the same time. My son said they are really ugly. I don’t care if they grow tomatoes. I hope they do.
I made chicken fingers yesterday. I made a honey mustard dipping sauce and it tasted good. I am listing the ingredients here.
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 TBSP mustard
2 TBSP honey
1/2 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp sugar
Mix all the ingredients together.
Then I took about 1/8 cup of it and added some chili powder, garlic powder, a drop of worcheshire sauce, a squirt of ketchup and a spoon of brown sugar and mixed it up. I just wanted to see if that tasted good and it was. I didn’t get a picture of that, but my husband liked it better than just the top one. I didn’t measure anything, just added and tasted. So if you want more, just play with the ingredients.
The cows in the field down the street had babies. Lots of babies. They mostly lay on the ground. They are usually too far away to take a picture, but I did see them close enough to take a picture of them.
Today I went outside to water the trees in my front yard. I noticed a few weeds growing so I sat down on the rocks and had to dig all the big rocks out and pull out the weeds. Those weeds are hard to pull out. After crawling around in the rocks and getting all the weeds pulled out, I felt something by my glasses near my face. I thought it was a leaf, so I flicked it off. It was a big brown spider, about the size of a quarter. Euwwww, yuck, a spider….by my face. I stomped on it but I don’t know if it died or got away. Now I am thinking there are spiders in my hair. My skin is crawling from heebie geebies. I think I will go wash my hair.
Yesterday…when we were going down the freeway, a big, rock, about the size of a tennis ball flew up and hit the windshield. It put a big crack in the glass. That totally sucks. I went to take my car to the dealer because they sent me a card to get a free checkup. I got a new car in February. I take the car to the dealer and the service guy says “What are you here for, you have a new car?” The same guy that sent me the card in the mail saying it was time to get the free check out. I gave him the card. I don’t think they did anything to it. I don’t even think they checked it out. When I was driving the car back home, on the freeway, a truck in front of me had a bunch of really long boards strapped on, hanging over the edge. A long board, about 20 feet long flew off the truck and landed on the road. Thank goodness that didn’t hit my car, but I felt like it was a bad day after the rock his the window on our truck. Then today the spider on me. I don’t think I will go outside for the rest of the day.
Nature makes some beautiful colors. Every time I eat an orange I wonder at the beautiful color and the inside is orange and the juice is orange. Oranges are wonderful. Bananas are yellow but the inside is cream color. I wonder why they are not yellow like the outside. Tomatoes are red on the outside and the inside. avocado is dark green on the outside but a lighter green on the inside. Limes are green on the outside and inside too.
The weekly photo challenge is Future Tense. Freeze the process of moving forward, or the promise of things to come. Your challenge this week is to seal one such moment in amber.
I watch the PBR. The professional bull riders. They ride the big, bad mean bulls that buck them off in seconds. They try to get to 8 seconds, but most get thrown off in 3 or 4 seconds. They buck really high and sometimes come off the ground. Here is a picture of a bull rider, his future is getting bucked off that bull.
And when he does get bucked off that bull, he better get up and run, because that bull still bucks and runs after you.
They get up and limp out of the arena. Those cowboys are tuff, they just keep getting back on those mean bulls.
I made a new video. I made a loaf of bread called No Knead Beer Bread. I decided to film me making the bread, so I could put it on YouTube to remember how I made the bread. I was making corned beef and cabbage and I wanted to eat hot bread with butter. I cooked the corned beef in the crock pot, so I had a few hours to make the bread. The bread came out really good and I just made a small loaf to eat with dinner.
Here is the recipe:
1 1/2 tsp active dry yeast. 1/4 warm water
2 cups all purpose flour. 6 ounces beer (I used the other 6 ounces in my corned beef.) 3/4 tsp fine salt. Also 1/4 cup of flour for the yeast sponge.
Also a pinch of sugar.
Stir together the yeast, 1/4 cup flour and 1/4 cup warm water in a large bowl. Cover with a hot damp towel and let sit in a warm spot for 30 minutes. Then stir in beer, remaining 2 cups of flour and salt into the bowl. Mix until all the flour is incorporated and forms a thick sticky dough. Cover and let rise in a warm spot for 2 hours, until doubled in size.
Scrape all the dough from the bowl with a rubber spatular, place on a well floured surface. Flour the top of the dough and form into a loaf shape. (Flour your hands too.)
I used a parchment paper to keep the bread from sticking to the pan. Transfer your loaf to a baking sheet, cover loosely with a towel, I used plastic wrap sprayed with an oil spray and put over the bread and let rise for 30 to 40 minutes. Preheat oven 425 F degrees. (220 degrees C. Slit top of bread see video, sprinkle a little flour on top, put in oven with a little pan of water for moisture placed at the bottom. Bake 25 minutes or until golden.
