Painting with acrylics ... been wanting to do some painting but just haven't go into it, so broke out the paints, brushes, Pinterest for ideas and we are off to the races.

Brown Sugar Fudge

2 tablespoons butter or margarine (used butter)
2 cups brown sugar, firmly packed
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup light cream (used Half and Half)
3/4 cup coconut, pecans or walnuts (didn't add any)

Melt butter or margarine in saucepan. Add sugar, salt and cream and stir until sugar has dissolved. Clip a thermometer to the side of the saucepan. When mixture begins to boil, reduce heat to medium and continue cooking to soft-ball stage on the candy thermometer. (240 F on Thermometer)

Remove from heat and do not stir until the outside of the pan is cool to the touch. Beat until creamy. (I used the electric beaters for along time....then added to the Pam sprayed loaf pan) Add coconut or nuts. Press into a greased pan.

Makes about 1 pound.

Sept 25 2012

Today I finished a sign for at the top of the road way...it's hard to see our house number.  I did paint them black so you can see them better but thought this would help, for visitor coming over....especially with the never ending dark that's coming.  I only painted on the number onto a piece of 2x4 and used craft paint I had on hand...so not sure how long the paint will last but we will see...

Going to make Red Pepper Jelly here soon, recipe on my family blog page if you would like to check it out.
I will post pictures when it's made.

That's all for today...going to go and crochet something...have a great crafting day....=)
