A Southern Life

Southern Fun With Mirrors

When we married, one of our gifts was a window that had been recovered from an old school. The panes had been filled in with mirrors. That window frame had seen a lot in its day and now it is living in our home.

When I was in a creative mood (and when I had more time to express my creativity), I decided I wanted to do something with that mirror and was inspired by this book:

Glass Art

The book had great instructions and patterns. The product (Plaid’s Gallery Glass) lets you create a stained glass look with gel paints.

It was a lot of fun. For the longest time, I had the mirror on my back porch. Unfortunately, a storm brewed while I was away and strong wind blew the mirror over. However, it only lost one pane!

The trick now is to take some photos of the mirror to show you. Taking pictures of mirrors is always a challenge, huh? Sorry, they are a little blurry because I didn’t use a flash.

It was really easy and I loved how it turned out. You can make art for your windows and you can even peel them off and move them around. So, now, I’ve got to decide what my next project with Gallery Glass will be!

Today’s Lagniappe:  Basil Pesto
I’ve got tons of basil growing right now so it looks like it time to make some pesto!

  • 2 cups packed fresh basil leaves
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 cup pine nuts, lightly toasted
  • 2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Combine the basil, garlic, and pine nuts in a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. Add 1/2 cup of the oil and process until fully incorporated and smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

If using immediately, add all the remaining oil and pulse until smooth. Transfer the pesto to a large serving bowl and mix in the cheese.

If freezing, transfer to an air-tight container and drizzle remaining oil over the top. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw and stir in cheese.

    One other thing is that an online business administration study course is designed for students to be able to smoothly proceed to bachelor’s degree programs. The Ninety credit education meets the lower bachelor college degree requirements when you earn your own associate of arts in BA online, you will have access to the most recent technologies in this particular field. Some reasons why students are able to get their associate degree in business is because they may be interested in this area and want to obtain the general training necessary ahead of jumping right bachelor education program.

    One other thing is that an online business administration program is designed for students to be able to efficiently proceed to bachelors degree courses. The 90 credit college degree meets the other bachelor diploma requirements so when you earn the associate of arts in BA online, you will possess access to up to date technologies within this field. Several reasons why students are able to get their associate degree in business is because they are interested in the field and want to have the general education necessary ahead of jumping to a bachelor education program. Thanks alot : ) for the tips you provide as part of your blog.

    I do not know if it’s just me or if everyone else experiencing issues with your website. It appears as if some of the written text in your content are running off the screen. Can somebody else please provide feedback and let me know if this is happening to them too? This could be a issue with my web browser because I’ve had this happen previously. Thank you

    With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright infringement? My site has a lot of unique content I’ve either authored myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my agreement. Do you know any techniques to help reduce content from being ripped off? I’d definitely appreciate it.

    Hey this is kind of of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding know-how so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks for the posting. My spouse and i have usually noticed that almost all people are needing to lose weight when they wish to show up slim plus attractive. However, they do not generally realize that there are more benefits just for losing weight as well. Doctors assert that overweight people come across a variety of disorders that can be perfectely attributed to their particular excess weight. Fortunately that people that are overweight plus suffering from a variety of diseases can help to eliminate the severity of the illnesses by means of losing weight. It’s possible to see a slow but notable improvement with health when even a minor amount of weight reduction is attained.

    One more thing. In my opinion that there are several travel insurance web-sites of reputable companies that allow you to enter your holiday details and get you the quotations. You can also purchase the international holiday insurance policy online by using your own credit card. All you should do is to enter your own travel information and you can see the plans side-by-side. Simply find the package that suits your capacity to pay and needs and after that use your bank credit card to buy the item. Travel insurance online is a good way to do investigation for a reliable company regarding international holiday insurance. Thanks for revealing your ideas.
