The Autumn (Fall) Sideboard Display...



I decided to welcome in Autumn,
with a simple decor display on the chippy white sideboard.
It's simple, rustic and was easy to create.


But first I needed two paper leaves:
Print the leaf template HERE.
Cut it out.
Draw around the outline with  a pencil onto your paper of choice.


Cut it out.

Glue to a piece of wood.

 I teamed my wood leaf block with the fabric pumpkin...
You can find out how to make one HERE.

 I placed a some sun bleached deer antlers in a wire basket.


 And that was it!

 With lots of interesting colour...


  texture...
and patterns. 

Here's the recap on the Autumn Sideboard Display.
 I used:
 The deer fabric pumpkin
Some deer antlers.
A wire basket.
A piece of wood with the paper leaves glued onto it.

The antlers were placed in the basket.
The fabric pumpkin in front to the left.
And the wood with paper leaves to the right.

I'm loving that it's simplistic...
rustic...
and Autumnal cute!



Banoffee Icecream Tart.....

Now y'all know of my love of SIMPLE and EASY...
well, this dessert is outstandingly simple and easy to create.
Best yet I think!

The Banoffee Ice Cream Tart is a great summer season dessert.
Or a 'Cheer yourself up' treat when you hit the speed bumps in life!

All you do is:
Crush one 250-gram packet of plain biscuits in a food processor.
 Add 100 grams of melted butter.  Combine.

Press the crumb mixture into the base of a 25 cm high side flan dish with a removable bottom. 
(Spray a little cooking oil on it before putting the crumbs in.)
Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
Leave your chosen ice cream to soften for a few minutes.

Place spoonfuls onto the biscuit base.
(I used a milk chocolate chip ice cream from the Cadbury range.)

I used about 3/4 a tub of ice cream to fill the flan.

Press into the flan and even out the top with a spatula so that it is level but you still have about half an inch from the filling to the flan dish top.
Freeze for two hours.
.
Just before serving:
Remove the tart from the freezer.
Leave for about four minutes to soften slightly for ease of removal from the tin.
Spread thick whipped cream over the ice cream layer.
Slice bananas and arrange over the top.
Drizzle with readymade or homemade caramel sauce topping.
Sprinkle with toasted sliced almonds.

Pop out of flan. Slice and serve.

SIMPLE and EASY  - Banoffee Ice Cream Tart.
Dessert deliciousness that will have them raving,
and asking for MORE!

How To Make a No Sew Fabric Pumpkin...

In the Southern hemisphere it is autumn.
Or as the Northern side of the world knows it 'Fall'.
So it's time to put away all the Easter decor, 
and bring in a little rusticness with a Fall theme. 
I wanted some simple pieces for the sideboard display,
and created a cute fabric pumpkin.
Because I have deer antlers to include in the display,
I chose a deer printed fabric.
Size of the fabric depends on how big you want your pumpkin to be.
All you do is:
Make a ball shape with some soft wadding.
Pull a tuft in the centre for the stem.
Put  rubber band on it to help hold it.
Place in the centre of the fabric.
Bring up a corner.
Then the other corners.
Tuck in loose ends.
Put another band at the top to hold it together.
Poof, primp and tuck until you are happy with the pumpkin shape.
Wind twine around the top to make a stem.
Wrap twine around the fabric pumpkin.
And that is it.
You now have a cute fabric pumpkin for your home decor.
These are great fun to make in different sizes and look fab in groups. 
 Also very cool for Halloween decor.
