Two weeks ago I wrote about some citronella candles that I had made for a BBQ get together which had a silhouette of the fellowship glued onto the mason jars. This weeks post is to show off some of the other things I had made which were all related to the best movies ever ;) Lembas bread: Materials used Paper String Sugar cookies from the super market Lembas bread leaf wrapper template I am fully aware that the leaf wrapper looks phallic but we are all adults here! I had cut all of the wrappers by hand after printing out the leaf markings since my silhouette would not have cut that large size. I ended up making 40 of these which didn't take so long. I could have baked my own cookies for it, but come on, I am no baker! I ended up buying sugar cookies from the super market and it worked out perfectly. The tags were drawn and cut by the silhouette cameo. Directions and Signs Materials used Paper Paint cardboard Patterned scissors For the directions, I actually use some old cardboard and since I did not have the right sized paintbrush, I used my finger to write the locations out. To make sure they attached to the pole, I poked some holes and strung some twine and tied it to the pole that was conveniently on the sidewalk. For the other signs, they were printed and I used patterned scissors to make it look like the edges were torn/tattered. Gandalf's fireworks Materials used Paper Glue CANDY! chopsticks I was originally going to add more fireworks to the jar but I have to admit that I got lazy and rather than make a lot of fireworks, I added colorful candy aka pixie sticks! I would say that working on all of these took me about 5-6 hours to do since it was a lot of manual cutting but I think it still came out well and it was worth it to me!
Dieser Film gehört zu den bekanntesten. Die Trilogie basiert auf der gleichnamigen Buchreihe. Die Geschichte des Ringes voller Macht ging um die Welt und faszinierte alle Zuschauer. Vier Hobbits aus Mittelerde geraten unfreiwillig in eine grosses und gefährliches Abenteuer. Der Ring ist zu mächtig und muss zerstört werden um den dunklen Herrscher Sauron zu vernichten. Zusammen gehen sie auf die lange Reise um das Schicksal zu besiegeln. Frodo ist die Hauptfigur und Schützling des Ringes. Er muss es hüten bis sie das Ende erreicht haben. Jedoch ist es nicht einfach dessen Macht zu widerstehen! Geholfen werden die vier immer wieder vom Zauberer Gandalf, der stets auf die Hobbits aufzupassen versucht. Ebenfalls Elben, Zwergen, Menschen und andere Zauberer treffen die vier auf dem Weg. Einige möchten helfen und einige weniger. Doch Sauron möchte sein Schicksal nicht entgegen nehmen, daher hat auch er eine ganze Armee an Orks, die ständig auf die Hobbits stossen. So viele Hindernisse und Prüfungen sind zu überstehen. Und alles ist in den Händen von Frodo, der gut auf den Ring Acht geben muss. Wie bereits erwähnt besteht der Herr der Ring aus drei Teile. Mein heutiges Rezept daraus bezieht sich aus dem ersten Teil namens "die Gefährten". Dort begann die ganze Reise und man erfährt einiges über die Vorgeschichte des Ringes. In diesem Teil ist es eher "ruhiger", da es hauptsächlich um die ganze Geschichte geht. Auf dem langen Weg zum Ziel müssen sich die vier Hobbits Frodo, Sam, Merry und Pippin auch ernähren. Eingepackt wurde ebenfalls das Lembas Brot. Dieser soll nähren und Energie spenden. Ich habe meine Version für euch gemacht und die ist echt lecker. Es ist nicht wirklich ein Brot, sondern ist eher eine Mischung davon und Plätzchen. Denn weiches Brot hält sich unterwegs nicht mehrere Tage lange frisch, daher muss es etwas haltbares sein. Die Mischung mit Mandeln und Honig ist super lecker und passt perfekt für unterwegs oder natürlich auch so. Probiere es mal aus, es ist echt lecker! Also hier findest du das Rezept und weiter unten das Schritt für Schritt Video dazu.

Step into the Shire for a Lord of The Rings Party! Inspired by the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, this party themes is perfect for birthdays & graduations!
The quest for the One Ring began on weekend in January at the house of a certain Hobbit. Decorated with giant Ents (paper trees) and a decal of a Middle Earth fellowship, the meal was a feast fit for a Dwarven King and Hobbit eleventy-first birthday party alike: Hobbit foods tend to be luxurious and abundant. We had a hoard of creatures coming over that ate even more than Hobbits; Teenagers! In preparation, we had treats from all over the Middle Earth. I have never bought into the idea that beautiful parties have to have a table covered with nothing but sweets. This meal spread was set out to please the eye but also to give the group of boys I had coming over something other than a sugar coma. We had lots of real food, (it definitely helped that Hobbit's only tolerate the very best food and drink!) and a few themed treats. And that's the way I like it. (I'll step off my soapbox now.) Menu: Egges (boiled eggs) 'Lifted' Carrots (carrots & ranch) Frodo's Fingers (pigs in a blanket) Gollum's Goodies (Swedish fish and gummy worms) HoneyCakes (mini coffee cakes) Bilbo's Berry Pies (mini pies) Lembas Bread (rice crispy treats in paper leaves) Sam's Po-Tay-To soup (potato soup) Grapes Cheese platter French bread "Lembas Bread! One bite is enough to fill the stomach of a grown man." -Legolas In the end, they were fed and ready to head into Middle Earth to find the One Ring. The activities were all in scavenger hunt style while searching for the next clue to defeat the hoard of orcs. The first set of trials were a walk through the dead marshes. They had to go through an obstacle course, and anyone who fell off of the obstacles they were grabbed by the dead. They had to start back at the beginning. "Careful now! Or Hobbits go down to join the Dead Ones, and light little candles of their own." - Golum The next part of the scavenger hunt was going through the tunnel to find a spiders egg. "It's the only way! Go in... or go back." - Golum The eggs were wrapped with several layers of clear packing tape and webbing and cotton batting. They had to break through all that to get to the egg (a extra large plastic egg) that had one of two things in it. Three eggs were filled with the light of Earendil, the elves favorite star, to help them get through the rest of the hunt: "I give you the light of Earendil, our most beloved star. May it give you light, when all other lights go out." - Galadril One egg was filled with baby spiders. Whoever ended up getting the spiders egg with the babies in it got wrapped up in 'webbing' by their fellowship... The next task in the scavenger hunt was to shoot the army of orcs that were about the cross the field of battle. As the kids lined up to shoot the arrows, some of the kids had never shot a bow before. So they got a mini lesson in archery as a party bonus! Then it was time to come back inside for the birthday-ing things. Like cake! The cake was a tribute to the hoard of gold that was held by Smaug, The Terrible. I tried to get the cake as close as I could to the style of this cover of The Hobbit. I took gold sequin candies and candy rocks and sugar gems to make the pile of riches at Smaug's feet. Little known secret about me: I don't like cake. So I do not bake cakes. This cake was two purchased cakes stacked on top of each other with some extra frosting, and then I decorated it. This trick saves me TONS of time! If there is a special request for a particular cake, sometimes I will bake it (like the rainbow cake for my daughter's rainbow party) but for the most part, this trick is my go-to for party cakes now. It's a big splash of party style that I don't have to work very hard for, and I'll take all the tricks for that I can get!

On Saturday we celebrated our oldest son's 13th birthday! This year he asked for a "Lord of the Rings" party theme and, after looking at many cakes, I decided to try and create a "One Ring to Rule Them All!" birthday cake for him! My inspiration came from The Art of Being Mama's beautiful cake, however I opted to use a dark brown frosting for the writing similar to this cake. I went out searching for a "perfect" non-stick ring cake pan, but ended up using my aluminum jello mold. I was worried that the cake would stick to the pan, but with a nice thick layer of Bake Easy! it came out just fine. I've been fighting yet another sinus infection, as well as an ear infection and poison oak, so I kept things extra easy on myself and used a "Golden" Butter cake mix for the cake. I ended up needing 1 1/2 cans of Fluffy White Whipped Frosting. After spreading the first can of frosting over the cake I popped it in the freezer for 20 minutes to seal in any crumbs and then finished it with one last smooth layer of white frosting before spraying it with a can of Gold Color Mist (picked up at Michaels for just a couple dollars after a coupon). For the writing I used a tube of Chocolate Decorating Icing with a Wilton Round Decorating Tip #5 and copied the words directly from our copy of Lord of the Rings. I probably should have practiced a bit on paper first, and I wasn't able to fit the second half of the second line, but I thought it came out pretty well considering it was my first attempt writing Elvish! 'I cannot read the fiery letters,' said Frodo in a quavering voice. 'No,' said Gandalf, 'but I can. The letters are Elvish, of an ancient mode, but the language is that of Mordor, which I will not utter here. But this in the Common Tongue is what is said, close enough: One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them. It is only two lines of a verse long known in Elven-lore: Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky, Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die, One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie. One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.' He paused, and then said slowly in a deep voice: 'This is the Master-ring, the One Ring to rule them all. This is the One Ring that he lost many ages ago, to the great weakening of his power. He greatly desires it - but he must not get it.' ~ The Fellowship of the Ring (Being the First Part of The Lord of the Rings) from this Boxed Set All seven of our children will be taking swimming lessons all of this week and next, but I'll be back tomorrow with additional pictures from Captain's Lord of the Rings Birthday Party!
Epic adventures are only part of the appeal of J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle Earth books. What really set Tolkien apart from other fantasy writers was his skill at crafting entire worlds—and at showing how important language is to history and identity. How much do you know about Tolkien's linguistic world?
When my wonderful friend Katie invited my husband and I to a charcuterie party at her home this weekend, naturally I knew I had to make something The Lord of the Rings-themed. And because today marks the twentieth anniversary of The Fellowship of the Ring’s US release date, I wanted to share the final results with you here! Presenting: Shire-Cuterie!

A few months ago when I was away, my mom painted one of the walls in my bedroom to be a chalkboard. Since then I have doodled on it but never really done any art on it. Then it hit me, the perfect illustration for chalk. A to scale rendition of the Door into Moria. Each WIP picture is the result of about an hour or two's work. First I set up a grid so as to get the proportions right. each square is 1' squared the ending drawing was 6'x8' I did want to actually sketch part of the picture so I put in the rune at the bottom. I put in the middle hammer and star first because they had very distinct places on the grid The arch was pretty easy I knew bassed off of the refrence photo that the arch had a radius of 2' so I attached the chalk to a 2' piece of string to make the perfect arch. same with the outer arch just 8 inches added to the length of the string. Finally I put in the runes in the upper corners. This was a pretty easy hour, I just put in the crown, stars and circle at the top of the arch. I put in the columns and started the trees. This part was kinda hard because there was a lot of gestimation on where the branches were. some where close enough to spots on the grid that I fudged them a little. I also discovered that the rune I put in with the grid at the bottom was to small so I erased it but didn't get around to fixing it this pass. I finished the trees and apparently forgot about the Rune at the bottom again. The final pass was by far the hardest, but also funnest. I had to insert the runes in the arch. I started at either end and worked to the middle to make sure that it would fit. And I finally put in that bottom rune, odd that what I ment to do first ended up being last. The Final with the handsome artist for scale. Photo credit younger brother Joseph The door is very fitting on this wall since the laundry room is on the other side, and we often refer to that as the Black Chasm! If I could change one thing I would paint the outlet black. Melon! mr_anderson
