Straw-Bearie Designs: World Best & Easiest Corn on the Cob
http://straw-bearie.blogspot.com/2012/09/world-best-easiest-corn-on-cob.html
Sunday, September 9, 2012. World Best and Easiest Corn on the Cob. I have to admit it. I make the best corn on the cob in the world. And, I also make the easiest corn on the cob in the world. I did a brief search on the internet and didn't find my recipe in the first few links I tried so I've decided to share it with you. First buy corn on the cob. Second, soak corn in water for about 20 minutes. Next, peel husk and silks. It is so tasty and sweet that it doesn't need salt or butter. Two weeks ago, I dec...

Straw-Bearie Designs: Homecoming Mum
http://straw-bearie.blogspot.com/2013/10/homecoming-mum.html
Thursday, October 3, 2013. In my research, I realized that you can pay more than $300 for a homecoming mum. I'm sorry, but that is absolutely ridiculous. I found a few websites that helped me out but now I would like to share with you how I made mine and how I saved on costs. For the special ribbon chains, make them yourself. I've seen stores selling the 4 strand chain and the loop chain for $6. It's super easy to make. Check out this girls vintage scrapping blog. 4 strand military chain. Next there is t...

Straw-Bearie Designs: My Nifty Fifties Classroom Part 1
http://straw-bearie.blogspot.com/2011/08/my-nifty-fifties-classroom-part-1.html
Friday, August 19, 2011. My Nifty Fifties Classroom Part 1. Two weeks ago, I decided to do my 2nd grade classroom in a theme. I decided on the 50's. This meant no generic teacher posters from the teacher supply store. I wanted everything to match my theme. So, then began a bunch of work. But first, I asked for permission to paint one wall a bright color. I got permission and decided on a deep teal chalkboard paint. That paint took 4 coats! I love the color! August 20, 2011 at 8:41 AM. When we moved into ...

Straw-Bearie Designs: Cute Red 50's + Modern Kitchen
http://straw-bearie.blogspot.com/2012/07/cute-red-50s-modern-kitchen.html
Monday, July 23, 2012. Cute Red 50's Modern Kitchen. When we moved into the house, the kitchen was awful; dark cabinets, no dishwasher, olive green stove and vent hood, carpet on the floor, and white countertops with a harvest gold, orange, and avocado green flower design. Can you say tacky? And, who puts carpet in the kitchen? Really, that's just gross! I decided I wanted to update my plain white mixer. I looked for red contact paper or sticky vinyl and none could be found in my small town. But,...Subsc...

Straw-Bearie Designs: Bleach T-shirt DIY
http://straw-bearie.blogspot.com/2015/07/bleach-t-shirt-diy.html
Wednesday, July 1, 2015. I made this peach heart t-shirt a couple of years ago. I remember wearing it at school (I'm a teacher) for Valentine's Day and no one commented on it. I asked a couple of my friends finally if they liked the shirt I made and they were floored. They just assumed that I had bought the shirt that way. They had no idea that I had made it myself. I just made a navy blue shirt in time for Independence Day and I video taped the instructions so you can all watch. I have to admit it.&...

Straw-Bearie Designs: Happy Mail!
http://straw-bearie.blogspot.com/2012/07/happy-mail.html
Thursday, July 19, 2012. A few months ago I discovered this blog. From Pinterest about mailing items that weigh 13 ounces or less first class mail. They can be any shape or size and do not require special packaging. I was a little hesitant and then my boys told me that the Mythbusters mailed a coconut to prove that it could be done. I couldn't wait to try it for myself. Garrett's special penguin duct tape. Marshall got paint splatter duct tape. Garrett the artist, hard at work. At the post office! When w...

Straw-Bearie Designs: DIY Jewelry Organization
http://straw-bearie.blogspot.com/2012/07/diy-jewelry-organization_21.html
Saturday, July 21, 2012. I love my jewelry and use it as art on my wall. It helps me to remember what I have and makes getting dressed easier and quicker. Here is how I organize and hold my Earrings, Necklaces, and Brooches. A few years ago, while visiting my sister, I noticed her earring holder. She said she bought it from "a girl who make them." A few months later, I was needing birthday gifts for some girlfriends so I tried to remember what I saw at my sister's house and re-created it. These will be c...
