How to Repurpose a Lamp Series of Projects
Welcome to a 5 part series:
"What can be done with an old lamp!"
Picture if you will, a lamp found on the side of the road. A very large lamp... 4 feet high, very ornate and weighing about 50 lbs... It had to have come from a castle!
It was brought home not by me this time, but by my dumpster diving daughter. Even I had second thoughts about repurposing this one!
The lamp sat in the garage for a very long time until I couldn't help myself any longer, I had to do something with it.
So I took it apart.
The more I unscrewed, the more excited I became.
Look at all this good stuff! Now my creative mind was racing!
I was thinking candle holder...
and candle stick...
I even thought these pieces would make some very cool hooks, maybe even a whole line of them!
I'm even thinking planter.…

How to Make Flatware Stockings
Here's a cute little way to serve your flatware for Christmas dinner a la Pottery Barn.
I decided to make my own today.
With right sides of a cotton muslin fabric together...
I sewed around the stocking leaving a rather long leg on the top of the stocking for rolling.
Turn the stocking right-side-out, add a heart, fold down the top two times and press.
Then make more, enough for your whole family.
Next, if you're like me and just because you're on a roll you cut some out of a different fabric!
This time I did not roll down the top, I liked the ragged edge.
Then make a whole bunch more!
And because you always want to have extras for when unexpected guests stop by...
Make another bundle!
Now we're prepared for Christmas Eve

Mulling Spice Recipe
I was intrigued by this recipe for Cranberry Relish
I did not however have the Packaged Mulling Spice that Susan used in her recipe.
so I did the next best thing, I Googled how to make my own....
*ground allspice
I added 1/4 cup of homemade
Mulling Spice to a 20 oz. can of crushed pineapple and a 14 oz. can of whole cranberry and 1/2 cup of crushed pecans (as per Susan's recipe)
I mixed it all together and believe me...
IT WAS DELICIOUS!!!
I can't wait to serve it on Thanksgiving!
While I was at it I decided to make Cranberry Bread...
I used a Krusteaz Fat Free Cranberry Orange box mix.
Instead of adding the can of cranberry-orange that came with the box, I mixed the can of cranberry-orange with a cup of the homemade cranberry relish and added it to the bread mix.
