DIY FABRIC UPHOLSTERED HEADBOARD!

   This diy comes from www.infarrantlycreative.net .  I going to have to make something similar for my daughters bed.  I had made here a picket fence type bed when she was a wee little girl.  But now nice she has turned 14 she needs something a little bit more modern and stylish for a young lady of her age.  I hope you enjoy this diy! Fabric Upholstered Headboard–Painted & Stenciled      I have been wanting to make an upholstered headboard for a while now but finding the perfect fabric often proves difficult, unless of course, I was willing to pay $50/yard. Why not stencil your own fabric? You get the color and pattern you want without the hunt and the cost. So I made a stenciled fabric upholstered headboard all for under $77. Can you believe that is painted fabric? Supplies: Upholstery Weight Fabric Stencil Foam roller Acrylic paint (fabric medium optional) Air compressor with air stapler Two King Sized Foam Egg Crates 1/2” MDF (cut to size) scissors repositionable

BLACKBERRY COBBLER!!

   This recipe was found at www.williams-sonoma.com .  Cobblers are one of my favorite desserts of all time (next to cheesecake), whether it's cherry or blackberry.   Nothing says homemade like a cobbler (especially with a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream).  Enjoy! By late June, the blackberries on the farm have arrived at their peak. The berries are half the size of commercially grown berries and are purple-black and juicy, with tiny seeds and crisp skin, which makes them stand up well in desserts such as cobblers. This biscuit-dough version of cobbler allows you to use more berries, and the dough soaks up more berry juice than other pastry does. The recipe calls for a cast-iron skillet, but this cobbler can also be made in any ovenproof dish. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Ingredients: 8 cups fresh blackberries 1 1/4 cups sugar Zest and juice of 1/2 lime 1 Tbs. cornstarch 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 1 1/4 tsp. baking powder 1/4 tsp. bakin

THE CORN PALACE FESTIVAL FROM MITCHELL, SOUTH DAKOTA!

    The Corn Palace serves as a multi-use center for the community and region. The facility hosts stage shows, as well as sports events in its arena. The World's Only Corn Palace is an outstanding structure which stands as a tribute to the agricultural heritage of South Dakota.     The original Corn Palace, called "The Corn Belt Exposition" was established in 1892.
