How to make a Rapunzel Wig from Yarn

 

 

Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your golden hair.

 

What little girl does not wish to have

hair as long and flowing as Rapunzel?

 

Every little Rapunzel needs her golden hair,

so we are here to help.

 

 

 

Let's have some fun and

make a Rapunzel wig.

 

You will need:

1 skein - yellow/gold yarn

flowers - purple (Dollar Tree)

5/8" ribbon - purple

measure tape

hot glue/gun

2 rubber bands

2- rocks or heavy objects

1 willing partner (this helps a lot)

 



Measure your little Princesses head.

or use this handy dandy chart.

 

6-12 months - 17"-18.5"

12-24 months - 19.5"-20.75"

2-4 years - 20.75"-21.25"

4-8 years - 21.5"-22"

 

Then add how long you wish the hair to be.

 

Our wig was for a 3 year old so we went with

21" and added length to measure 60".

We wanted long hair, but not long

enough for her to trip over.

 

Because Dolly wanted to play we worked

on a table, but the floor would work

just fine for very long hair.

 

 

 Place a strip of tape on each end of the

area you are working at.

 

 

Now roll the yarn to each strip of tape.

This is were the partner will come in handy.

The rock/heavy object helps the yarn

stay in place.

We used 1/2 of a pound skein of yarn

for our wig.

 

 

Once you have what you think is

enough yarn cut the loops.

 

Cut 1 strip of ribbon the length of your yarn.

 

(I know their are 3 strips, but we perfered it with just 1.)

 

Tie a strip of yarn around 1 end.

Divide the yarn into 3 strips and

place the ribbon on the center strip.

 

 

Braid the 3 strips.

Make sure the ribbon is on top while braiding.

(we did not get pictures of us braiding)

When you get to the end tie off

with a strip of yarn.

 

Using the width of head place end

were it will meet up with the "tail"

to make a crown

and secure with a rubber band.

 

 

Secure bottom of "tail" with rubber band.

 

Now give your hair a trim.

 

 

Tie ribbon at crown and end.

 

 

Add your flowers securing with hot glue.

 

 

Now you have a wig

for your little princess

Rapunzel.

 

Cecilia was so cute she stuck her head out of

her play house and asked

"who is going to climb my hair"

Sam the Squirrel

 

Introducing the newest member of the family.

 

Sam the Squirrel

 

I know I keep saying the ZOO is closed,

but what is a mom to do when something

so cute, snuggly and tiny is handed to you?

 

I took a trip to LSU Vet school.

They said they could take Sam,

but I looked around and saw how full

they were with sick animals.

So for the next few weeks we will have

every 2 hour feedings and

NIGHTLY feedings.

 

Am I looking forward to this-

NOPE.

 

But we get to know we helped

Mother Nature with another baby.

Once Sam is eating hard food

we will take him back to LSU

and they will help him back into the wild.

 

For now we get the pleasure of

cuddle time...with Sam

Every baby animal is unique and adorable,

and there is no greater love than that between

a mother and her young.

It is the power of this love that explains why

humans have always sought the company of young animals.

Chocolate Bread

 

We are still trying to find ways

to use up all of the stale bread, so

today after Mass we came home

to a yummy breakfast of 

CHOCOLATE GRAVY

on bread

 

Hold on, don't leave you will like this,

I promise.

 

This is a recipe that

I remember from when

I was a little girl.  My cousins

and I would sneak to my Great Aunt's house.

She would make us chocolate bread.

We could never figure

out how our Moms knew we went

to Taunt Chook's house

and played on the barn and ate chocolate.

Hum- I wonder now,

could it have been a chocolate

ring around our mouths

and our bottoms had red paint on them???

 

CHOCOLATE GRAVY

 

5 Tbs. butter

3 Tbs. flour

3 Tbs. cocoa powder

4 Tbs. sugar

1 cup milk

1 1/2 tsp. vanilla

 

Melt butter in a small sauce pan.

Stir in all dry ingredients and cook on

low heat for 2-3 minutes.

Slowly stir in milk, make sure

to get all of the lumps out.

Cook another 2 minutes, until thick.

Take off heat.

Add vanilla.

Serve over bread, buttered toast,

biscuits, ice cream.

You can even try it with eggs

and french fries.

 

 

Yes, we have tried

french fries dusted with chocolate

and eggs dipped in chocolate at

Chocolate by the Bald Man

In both New York and Las Vegas

 

(we did not have a picture of the eggs)

 

They are

 DE-LICIOUS!!

It all exist in people’s minds & hearts.”

Sausage Bread Pudding

 

It's the day after Hurricane Isaac

and the power is back on.

Yippee!

And we have a loaf of bread that

is more than a couple of days old.

YUCK!

After time without power

no one wants to see a sandwich, so

what to do with the bread?

 

Bread Pudding it will be.

 

We have tried

Bread/Biscuit Pudding

(BTW just take a look to see how far we have come with our pictures.)

but this time we were looking

for something savory to

use deer sausage.

 

 

Sausage Bread Pudding

 

Ingredients

2 Tablespoon butter

2 Tablespoons vegetable oil

1 pound sausage, chopped

(we used deer, but any can be used)

2 Cups chopped onions

2 Tablespoons chopped garlic

Seasoning

5 large eggs

1 Cup heavy cream

3 Cups milk

2 Cups grated cheddar cheese

8 Cups torn bread

(we used 3/4 of a loaf of white bread)

 

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Grease a 2-quart baking dish with butter.

Place bread into baking dish.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the onions and cook until soft.

Add the sausage until cooked.

Add the garlic and cook about 2 minutes.

Season to taste.

Combine the eggs, cream and milk in a large

mixing bowl and whisk.

Stir in the sausage mixture and cheese.

Pour over bread and mix together.

Bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown.

Remove from oven.

Let rest for 10 minutes before serving

or longer to set.

 

 

If you have any left-overs this will make a

great breakfast.

 

Anyone who says they're not afraid at the time

of a hurricane is either a fool or a liar,

or a little bit of both.
