Mad Hatter Upcycle

MAD HATTER COSTUME 

 

This is what became the Mad Hatter costume
 

Purple jacket $3.49.

 

Lace & fabric for collar & cuffs, free. (I have lots of scrap fabrics)

 

The sash/bobbin belt will be made from all the old wooden spools I found on a yardsale a couple of seasons ago. ( I knew it would come in handy someday)

 

 

I had to visit Hancock's for the bow & striped pants. Found this on the $ 3.98 pile & only needed  a little. The pants will be pajamas after halloween.

The hat was found on a yard-sale for $2.00. I only needed the hat for the frame or base for my hat.

I used some of the lace for the rim & made a black felt (covered with lace)  top section to go over the frame.

 

 I attached the top felt section to the hat & added a pink silk band to match the rim. I added kebab sticks with beads, peacock feathers & the "pricetag".

 

 

 And the final product, ready for tricks & treats. We had to tweak the make-up & used orange hairspray on her blond hair.

 

 

Satisfied!

 

Blueberry Smoothie and Poem

This smoothie was so delicious I had to share the recipe. My daughter started making smoothies in all flavors and this was the best so far. Here follows the recipe in her own words.

Ingredients

1 Cup of Frozen blueberries

1 Cup of Vanilla yogurt or blueberry yogurt

3/4 Cup milk

2 Tablespoons of white sugar

2 teaspoons of vanilla extract

okay; so the tools you will need are...

a blender

a tablespoon

a teaspoon

a measuring cup

Now since you have your ingredients and your tools you can start mixing everything into the blender and I blend for about 25 seconds on the setting, ice crush.

Once you have that done, pour into a glass and drink your tasty treat. 

Enjoy!

BLUE BERRY 

by Anne-Mari 

 Small, purple, sour, and round
and it is oh so yummy
It tastes just perfect in a pie
the crust so sweet and crumby

In a smoothie even better
when you pour in it some milk
then you crush it and you mush it 
until it has the texture of silk

Enjoy!!!!
