HUNTING IN MOM'S BASEMENT


GOOD MORNIN, I'M A LITTLE ON THE LATE SIDE. BEEN TRYING TO SEND MY PICTURES OVER TO AOL...WELL WE FINALLY GOT DOWN STAIRS AND OF COURSE IT WAS A HUGE TANGLED MESS FROM ONE END TO THE OTHER. BUT IT'S INTERESTING, I FOUND SOME NICE ROUND CAKE PANS. AND I FOUND A EMBROIDERED TABLE CLOTH BUT OUT IN THE LIGHT I REALIZED IT HAD A TON OF STAINS THEY LOOKED LIKE WATER STAINS SO I TRIED SPRAY AND WASH AND LET IT SET FOR SEVERAL HOURS IT TOOK SOME OUT BUT THE MOST STAYED IN..SAD. I ALSO FOUND THIS SILKY PINK BEDSPREAD WHICH LATER I FOUND A MOTH HOLE ON IT AND SOME LITE STAINS..BUT I FIGURED I CAN MAKE LITTLE PILLOWS WITH IT. IT'S VERY PRETTY.
WELL I TOOK IT HOME AND WASHED IT ALL UP AND THE CAKE PANS THEN AROUND 9PM LAST NITE DECIDED TO MAKE A QUICK CAKE..SO I JUST GRABBED A BOX WHITE CAKE MIX..THEY WORKED NICELY I LOVE THEM ...

I LOVE THIS SIZE. I THINK THEY ARE 9 INCH...SO HERE IS MY LITTLE OLE CAKE ALL FROSTED UP.

THE OTHER DAY I HAD MADE SOME SAUCE WITH SOME CHERRIES AND A COUPLE OF STRAWBERRIES SO I PUT THAT IN THE MIDDLE WITH SOME HOME MADE CREAM CHESSE FROSTING...WILL SEE HOW IT TASTE LATER...LOL AFTER BREAKFAST. I ALSO FOUND A LARGE PYREX MEASURING CUP AND THREE CUTE LITTLE CLEAR PYREX CUSTARD CUPS.
THE PICTURE IS NOT THE GREATEST BUT LOL WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH JUST A CEL PHONE..


TOO MANY PILLOW CASES..SO LAST NITE I THOUGHT HUMM...THE GRAND CHILDREN DIRTY MY SEAT COVERS AND I THOUGHT WHY CAN'T I USE THE PILLOW CASE TO COVER MY PADS.

THIS ONE I JUST COVERED THE TOP BECAUSE THE OTHERS HAD CASES SO THEY WOULDN'T SCRATCH THE WALLS...

WELL THAT WILL WORK FOR NOW, TILL I BUY SOME NEW ONES AND MAKE A SHORT COVER FOR THE TOP..FOR SOME REASON THE CHAIRS MARK UP THE WALL AND THERE WILL BE BLACK MARKS.IT WAS DRIVING ME CRAZY.
SO THATS SOME OF THE THINGS I DID YESTERDAY..I WANTED TO SHOW YOU THE RED STAR DOILY THAT I STARTED BUT OF COURSE THIS DARN PICTURE THINGY ISN'T WORKING AGAIN..MAYBE LATER ...WELL ENJOY YOUR DAY..

Ha it's working now..my old trusty Tupperware cake keeper..it works well upside down as well..well for transporting in the car the two cakes.....

And a bunch of buttons I guess I had upstairs for 29 cents each Le Chic..they are all called....nice..
