Kelly's Buttermilk Syrup

Years ago, my sister-in-law

introduced us to buttermilk syrup while on a visit out to their house.

I'm not really even a syrup person but,

Yum-o, I'd never had anything like it!

Funtastic Friday #286

I haven't had to work this week

so I've got my kids helping with projects. 

We had gotten so busy that a lot of things 

were put on the back burner!

Quarantine has given us that extra time...

One project for the week is cleaning out our craft/kid homework room.

It's also become a "catch all" for things we didn't have time to 

find a place for or deal with. 

Stacy's card catalog is a great storage solution.

Love that yellow she painted on it. 

She gives you all the 411 for painting on metal 

as one of our host picks this week.

Have you pulled out all your 4th of July decor?
If you've been aching to make something new and patriotic....



Try our patriotic table runner.
Sewn together with strips of any red, white and blue fabric.
I was excited with how this project turned out!

It's time to see more of your 4th of July ideas so...

Let's get right to the party!

Patriotic Fabric Strip Table Runner

I love the combination of red, white and blue!

Today we're putting together a simple fabric strip table runner

with these patriotic colors. 

Funtastic Friday #285

How is your week?

It seems like everyone has hit a point where they want to 

get out of town.

A lot of camping or outdoor recreational sites

or even going to see a relative where able. 

We're sticking around this month but 

it's ok. Looking for some lazy days of summer!

The garden we planted during quarantine

has given us a few tomatoes already!

Arlene's cheese and tomato focaccia recipe

is the perfect way to use them right from the garden. 

I think I'm making this for lunch today!

  

If you're stay-cationing at home in June,

check out all our activities for teens/tweens and elementary kids.

Plus all our round-ups from DIYs, recipes, summer drinks to crafts.

It's all {here}

Let's get going with this week's
FUNTASTIC FRIDAY!

 Let's get this party started!

Funtastic Friday #284

I've always wanted to learn how to make candles. 

This might be the perfect summer to learn.

Joy's got the instructions and tips to make these sweet soy candles. 

I love that she uses mason jars for her candles--country chic! 

On my list of summer DIY projects!

 

Gotta start thinking of Father's Day.

A few years back, 

we made aprons for our own "grill master"

and created a meat rub with printable label.

You can find it  here}
