Happy Wednesday, everyone! I am soooo sorry about last week… I forgot to add into the post two weeks ago that I would be taking last Wednesday off because of Thanksgiving week. I was pretty tired and I wanted to just enjoy the week, spend time with Mr. Ethereal (who took the week off from work) and my MIL, and I worked on putting up more Christmas decor.

I’ve been painting in our spare bedroom/office, too! It’s all done and looks great. Look for a post on that transformation coming soon. 🙂

Let’s get to our features and I am finding I need to back off on how many features I put up. This week I am just going to pick my favorite five as I have an eye appointment this evening…

***Here’s what I shared this past week at* *French Ethereal…***

A S/P Christmas Snowman Craft to Make (Pinterest Challenge)

November 22, 2022November 22, 2022 French Ethereal

Hello and welcome, friends, to this month’s Crafty Christmas Ornament Pinterest Challenge! I have to say, when Cindy from County Road 407 mentioned that this month’s challenge was to come up with a fun ornament for the holidays, I was all in…

If you are coming over for the first time from Laura at Everyday Edits, welcome! I hope you will consider subscribing to my blog. I share crafts, recipes here and there, home decor and a lot of gardening ideas. So let’s get to this craft idea without further ado!!

Let’s Make a Silver Salt & Pepper Shaker Snowman!

Supplies you will need:

a vintage salt/pepper shaker with a silver top
buttons for eyes
pepper corns or All-Spice corns for eyes
something to use for a hat
hot glue gun and glue
scissors
felt in your choice of holiday color
any other items you may wish to put on your snowman

How to make your snowman:

Begin by cleaning the s/p shaker inside and out (if it isn’t corroded on, like mine was, then just clean the outside 😉 ), let dry

Isn’t hot glue a wonderful invention?? So useful for so many things!

Polish the silver top and wash again
Cut a piece of felt roughly 3/4″ wide x 6″ long
snip ends of felt along the short edges to make fringe of snowman’s scarf
try scarf on your snowman then hot glue it along the back, pinching some so it fits better (as needed)

choose buttons for eyes; remove shanks on back with a grinder, as needed (this is where my hubby, Mr. Ethereal, came in to help! <3

hot glue “eyes” in place above some of the holes so holes are there for a “nose” and are part of the mouth

use a small, whole pepper corn or All-Spice and hot glue it on for a “nose”

This was some kind of electrical cap, I think.

choose something for a “hat” and hot glue on the top and back of your snowman’s head, if you wish to do so.

And you have a snowman! 🙂

If I’d had a cute little crocheted hat (or could make one), I would have made her a snow-woman. And she kinda is anyway with her flower eyes. 😉

**(Yes, I probably will go back and paint in the centers of the eyes black, but for now they are just as they are!)

And let’s check out what Carol from Bluesky at Home made for her Christmas ornament!! I bet it is bedazzling!! 😉

This is our last Pinterest Challenge for the year but come the fourth Tuesday in January, we will be back. <3 Something fun to look forward to in the New Year!

So glad you stopped by today and I hope you will think of signing up for future postings!! Everyone on today’s tour is listed below so you can follow along in order, or just hop around!

Enjoy!!!

Happy holiday crafting, everyone!

Happy All-Souls Day + Reeses Spider Recipe

November 2, 2022November 2, 2022 French Ethereal

Happy All Souls Day or Día de Muertos, friends! This past month at school, we created a table with books about Día de los Muertos and scary stories for Halloween. Then we had a treat table for staff on Halloween since we were in school on Monday. Come check out all of our fun!

First, we had a table decorated for September featuring Latino/Spanish authors, which then begat my idea for a Día de Muertos table display!

We had a substitute for our librarian on the day we pulled all of these books and together we found scary stories from around the world, Halloween books, non-fiction books about witches and more. Plus, we also had a couple of really nice books about The Day of the Dead/Día de Muertos with sugar skull candies on the cover and children celebrating their ancestors in ceremonial costumes.

The students had a good time browsing all of the books and reading most of them! Yesterday, I put all these away and prepped for our next table, which I’ll share more of in another post. 😉

Funny Reeses Spiders

I texted my daughter and asked her for the recipe last week sometime. I thought she had made these (I still think she has), but she said she hadn’t made these Reeses Spiders before. But, she did find me the recipe on Pinterest or TikTok and sent an image.

Keep putting spiders and Reeses candies back into the refrigerator as needed to harden the chocolates.

Super easy to make, here are the ingredients:

Reeses Peanutbutter Pumpkin Candies
melting chocolates
candy pearls or pre-made candy eyes
small twisted pretzels

I tried spooning then dipping each pretzel “leg” into the melted chocolate, then realized a pastry bag would work a whole lot easier!

How to make them:

First, break off the “rounds” of the pretzels and save for the spider “legs.” This is the difficult part as so much gets busted and just leftovers. Save and snack on later. ;)’
Melt the chocolates in a microwave-safe dish. Use the melted chocolate to glue on the pretzel pieces for legs. Use a pastry bag and fill with hot melted candy melt chocolate or a Ziplock baggie with a point cut off (that’s what I used).
Glue on the candy pearls for eyes with chocolate using your pastry bag.
Dot each candy pearl with chocolate creating the center of the eye.

These were so much fun to make and this is definitely something you can do with your children and grandkids!! The eyes were the fun part as you can space them far apart or close together. I made some cross-eyed spiders because that’s just part of the fun!

The first few I used melted regular chocolate chips and those just didn’t set up well, so… Mr. Ethereal and I ate them… with ice cream. :)’

But after mixing in melted chocolate melts, the pretzel “legs” “glued onto” the Reeses candy pumpkins well.

Wouldn’t these make cute crabs, too, for a summertime pool party?? Just use blue chocolate candy melts and “paint” the Reeses Pumpkin Candies with the blue all over, first. Then use the same pretzel legs…

I’ll need to go back and find some more pumpkin candies to freeze for later on. 😀

This was a really fun project and no spiders were left uneaten, so I’d say this was a hit!

Anyway, I thought you’d like this simple recipe to add to your recipe box.

Happy baking and Happy All Souls Day!

Barb 🙂

We had a couple of days of rain over the past week and just having an inch or so has really perked up all of our plants! How about you? How is your fall garden doing? Our garden beds have enjoyed a second growing season with the advent of cooler weather. Sooo nice to see plants which were really suffering are now really happy…

Well, getting perennials planted in the ground and taking cuttings of existing plants are what I have been doing a lot of this fall, when I have time. So nice that we have had a long fall season with no freezes yet!

Other than that, what all have you been up to? Hopefully you are enjoying good fall weather in your neck of the woods!!

Let’s check out this week’s features…

***Here’s what I shared this past week at* *French Ethereal…***

Pumpkins, Pinecones & Cranberries ~ a Fall Centerpiece ~ part of this month’s Pinterest Challenge using cranberries in our recipes, decor or crafts.

Pumpkins, Pinecones & Cranberries ~ A Fall Centerpiece

October 25, 2022October 24, 2022 French Ethereal

Happy Tuesday, dear friends! It’s the fourth Tuesday of the month and you know it’s all about our monthly Pinterest Challenge. If you are coming over from Carol at Bluesky at Home, welcome! This month Cindy of County Road 407 has picked cranberries as our theme. I thought about making something yummy, but then I thought maybe I’d make a beautiful fall centerpiece…

Our inspiration piece comes just from a beautiful photograph Cindy has chosen and we were given free rein to do anything we were inspired to create, bake or decorate!!! I love themes like this as we can go with whatever feels natural to us.

I hadn’t shared many fall posts this season, between work and meetings, I’ve been very busy with IOOF events (fundraisers) and spending time with my mother-in-law. It is nice to create something beautiful for fall and have it be an inspiration starting point for you! 🙂

Transitional Fall Centerpiece Basket

I’ve chosen to make a fall centerpiece using pinecones, pumpkins and cranberries. As I was heading to bed one evening, that phrase popped into my head and I got up to write it down (so I wouldn’t forget). I am really excited to share it with you!

I think this centerpiece basket makes the perfect transition between early fall’s pumpkin-y oranges to Thanksgiving time and beyond.

Here’s what I pulled from around the house and purchased to make this basket:

a rattan basket from my collection
three mini pumpkins from outside our front door
pinecones in various shapes and sizes
a wood round as a lift
a fall candle
wire cutting pliers
a cranberry spray from Hobby Lobby (cranberries have little “stars” on their tops when they are picked fresh from the fields)

Beginning the arrangement. Wing chair re-covering project in the background.

I began by putting in pinecones in the traditional Christmas tree shape (the usual ones) and some of the elongated ones I saved from visiting Georgia several years ago when I went to High Point Market.

I found the elongated ones at Biltmore Estate, actually.

Next, I added in the little pumpkins I pulled in from out front ~ you’ve seen these guys already in last month’s Fall Front Porch challenge ~ and layered them around the candle.

I bought three sprays of large cranberries but only needed one. I used a pair of wire cutters to cut off pieces with a length of stem to tuck in between the pinecones.

This was fun because you can put as much or as little as you like! Since I used (1) candle, (3) pumpkins, it seemed logical to use (5) small sprays of cranberries. Odd numbers always work well in decorating, don’t you think?

Let the decorating fun begin!

Then it was time to decorate the table. I brought in some books with fall colored covers, dark pink mums in their nursery pot from outside, and a small capital with two ceramic figurines who are also dressed for autumn.

And that’s how I chose to use cranberries in my transitional fall centerpiece. I hope you like it!

Next, we swing back up to Cindy from County Road 407. I know you will enjoy the festive autumn garland Cindy has created with cranberries! You’ll find everyone’s posts linked below to come back to visit.

Happy fall decorating, friends,

Barb 🙂

Happy Wednesday evening to you all!! My mother-in-law stopped by as I was prepping for this post, so up a bit later than I’d like, but that’s how things roll around here. ;)’ Last night we had our first night in the high-30’s, and I worked until after dusk getting plants covered and some moved into the big shed/greenhouse. It was a busy couple of hours running a power cord through a window again and making insulation pieces to fit in the vents to keep the cold out, but now the shed is ready for winter. 🙂

So, that’s what’s going on around here lately. I do have a post to share soon with how our garden looks with the new flower beds dug and more perennials and small trees planted. It’s coming along nicely!

Let’s check out this week’s features… It’s all about Halloween/All Hallow’s Eve with some fun and mildly spooky ideas to inspire!! We have a Day of the Dead (Día de Muertos) table display at school surrounded by books which work for the season, and it’s fun to see how this week’s post fits in with that theme, too!

And here are this week’s featured posts…
