Berries with Mascarpone (Recipes)

via

Ingredients

1/2 cup whipping cream

1 8oz container mascarpone cheese

3/4 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 pint blueberries/rasberries/blackberries/gooseberries each

Prep

Beat whipping cream with electric mixer until firm peaks form. Add mascarpone, sugar, and vanilla. Beat until well combined. Serve over berries in pretty glasses.

This is perfect for a patriotic summer holiday. We got the first strawberries from our yard yesterday, and they are so sweet and tasty. The other berries are rippening well, and I can't wait to show!

Beachy DIY decor for your home (Decorating)

via

Hello and happy Memorial Day weekend to you! Today I'm sharing a few beachy decor ideas with you. I finally reorganized my craft room and was amazed at the amount of unused shells and beach treasures. I decided to add some new coastal touches to my home. Here is what I was inspired by.

I just heart this-glue some driftwood to a glass bowl and add sand for instant beach style. Love the texture of the sisal as well.

I've got a few of those razor clam shells as well-found on the New England coast. Finally a use for them.

This driftwood set up is just adorable.

Message in a bottle party invite-now if I only lived near the ocean to host such a party.

 A cute driftwood sailboat-so many different versions and I haven't made one yet. Sad, I know.

How cool is this coat rack? Perfect for a beach cottage. So, what are your Memorial Day plans? We are going home to spend time with my family and celebrate my grandmother's 87th birthday. She is in the hospital until Tuesday, but at least we get to see her. Cheers,

Burlap utensil holder

Hello there, nice to have you visiting us ! Today I'm sharing my burlap utensil holder tutorial. I did this project a while back-Easter last year. I am just now getting around to posting it. Sad-I know.

I had some left over burlap from Christmas and decided to put it to use. I first measured how long each utensil holder needed to be by laying my silverware out on it. Then I measured double that length, so I can fold it over for a pocket. I glued the sides inward before glueing everything together for a nice edge. I used fabri-tac, but you could have also sewn it together. When you fold over the pocket make sure you leave enough room for your silver ware to show. I placed some lace on the front, for a vintage touch.

You can decorate them with anything you want, according to season or holiday. I love to use burlap, it is so versatile. Do you use burlap in your craft projects? Make sure you stop by tomorrow for a fun blog hop! Linking up here.

Cheers,
