DIY CANNING LID PUMPKIN!

This diy comes from http://www.funhomethings.com . You could leave up all of the fall season. It very cute and easy to make. Good luck and happy pumpkin canning!!

Canning Lid Pumpkin

This is one of my favorite pumpkin projects of all time. It's cute, simple and one of the first decorations people notice when they walk into my house. The inspiration for this came from an unpainted version I saw at Simply Klassic Home. Whether you decide to paint it or not, this is just too easy not to try!

Supplies

20 regular mouth canning lids
orange yarn
orange spray paint (I used Valspar Satin La Fonda Copper)
3-4 decorative cinnamon sticks

Directions

1. Spray paint the lids on each side until you reach the coverage you want. After the paint dries, you can leave as is or lightly sand some of the edges like I did.

2. String the lids onto the yarn, making sure they all face the same direction.

3. Tie the two ends of yarn together in a double knot and cut the excess.

4. Place the cinnamon sticks in the middle and adjust the spacing of the rings.

The longest part of the whole project was waiting for the paint to dry. If you decide to leave yours unpainted, it will take you all of 5 minutes to complete.

VANILLA PEACH COFFEE CAKE!!

Did you know that the fruit this summer is supposed to be the best it has been in years? Apparently, fruit loves hot weather. I personally have eaten more peaches and cherries this summer than I have in about five years just for that reason. As I have been a little overzealous lately buying peaches and cherries I found myself with a few peaches that were going to be too ripe for me to eat on the same day. That is unless I wanted to have them for every meal plus a few snacks. So I decided to make this recipe for Vanilla Peach Coffee Cake. Vanilla Peach Coffee Cake Adapted from Allrecipes.com Batter: 2 eggs 1 C milk 1/2 C oil 1 tsp. vanilla 1/2 C sour cream 3 C flour 1 C sugar 1 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. baking soda Topping: 5 or 6 large peaches, diced. 3 Tbsp. butter, melted 11/4 C brown sugar 1Tbsp. cinnamon 2 tsp. nutmeg 4 Tbsp. flour Vanilla Icing: 1 Tbsp. butter 1 tsp

I plan to make a 2nd stack to go on the other side of my door, so I'm not completely done, but I thought I would share it with you anyway.
