A repurposed light shade and update on crepes

*

Good Morning, Good Morning

*

How are you this fine morning???

*

I have to say I am feeling much peppier the

last few days,  think I have finally caught up

on my rest, and also that the pollen must not

be as bad either!!  Yea,  that works for me!!

*
I have decided to use this older post as
a White Wednesday post today!!
*

I wanted to show you something I repurposed

on Saturday, and am really quite pleased with.

*

*

I had this..............in fact, 6 of these

*

That came from this,  actually it is upside

down to how we used it, but couldn't get a

good pic the other way.  I actually like it

this way too!!

*

*

This was the replacement in our bathroom

re-do.  Actually I was sort of bummed cause I

 liked the other one better, but the sockets were

 sizzling so we thought it best to get new lights as

 we have had a flood in our home,  we certainly

 wouldn't want  to have a fire!! 

Had trouble getting a good picture so

turned the lights way down.  It is brushed

nickel and really does look better with

our new look, but I really loved the 

light covers and am so happy I found

a new way to use them.

*

*

I turned it up like this..............

* 

So I dropped a tea lite candle in it,

and got this........

*

I was quite happy with it, but was concerned

 the aluminum or plastic tea lite might not be

 good against the tablecloth or wood,

so my brilliant hubby said well what

 about this

*

*

Remember these from my December blog

that we repurposed as tea light candle holders,

another brilliant idea from hubby.

*

*

For those of you who don't.... they were lids

off candle jars.  click here for the link to see how

 to get the plastic off of them. You will have to
scroll down a lil bit,  in that pic I am using a
yankee candle lids but it works the same 
with all of them really.

*

These were lids off candle jars from Michaels

crafts,  and they have a flat bottom,  I tried

the yankee candle lids but they are a little

too rounded to work for this.

*

*

Just put her underneath and it solves the heat problem

and  now look at this!

*

*

Aren' t they pretty all lit up.

*

*

I am sure at some point they will find there

way into a tablescape for a nice dinner,

but meanwhile,  we are just enjoying

having them out on our porch.

*

* 

I would like to find one more flat lid

so I can have 3 to put in the middle

of the dining room table for a nice

tablescape,  but if not,  I will just

use something else in the center

like I did here!

*

*

Now I have another repurposing idea.  Our mixer

broke,  so I have 2 of these leftover.

*

*

I'm thinkin that beater painted bright

yellow and secured to the bottom in

the right position could look like the

stamen on a flower.  I was thinkin

it could make a cute yard ornament 

but then it would hold water, so it  would

 have to be an inside ornamentation just

 don't know where I would put it,.... 

 on the porch somewhere probably.

*

Maybe I am going a bit too far with this

repurposing thing,  but ya never know

another project for another time!! lol

*

Oh,  and here is an update on browning the

crepes!

*

DON'T

*

or they will look like this!!

*

This is banana and cream with a lil strawberry

juice and pecans on top.

Now it was scrumptious but....

*

*
it  made it stiff and it cracked to pieces, when I tried
 to fold it......it taste great but doesn't look so great,

it probably would NOT get raves revues on 

Foodie Friday,  due to presentation!!

and I would understand I like pretty

presentation too!! lol

*
Once on the plate it really didn't look any
different color wise, so it was a waste of time.

but I did better this time.

*

This one was not browned and I rolled it

where it looked like theirs on the package.

This was peaches, whipcream and pecans.

Delightful as well!
Oops.......my whip cream is melting quick
cause it has been out of the fridge awhile
I guess!

*

Lois over at wife of the colonel says she

makes her own crepes and has a recipe on 

her blog,  so gonna go over and get a link

for those of you who might like to try it.

Click here for the recipe.

You will see that it says manicotti,  but look

right below that word and you will see it

is the crepe recipe,  she uses crepes to

make manicotti,  how cool is that!!

*

If you decide to try it.... make sure you

let us know!!
