Try as I might, life gets in the way and I wasn’t able to post every day. But life is good, so here are my catch up posts. š This is Minnie’s Hannukah outfit. She wore it at the Hannukah party we had (where she was SO well behaved!) and was just the belle of…
DetailsOf course for this edition of Food Friday I was going to do latkes. What else on Hannukah? I used the recipe from my Jewish cookbook. This is the cookbook my mom has as well. It’s out of print now but she saw a copy at a garage sale and snatched it up for me.…
DetailsFor each day of Hannukah I plan to have a different craft to show you. For this first day, I have a simple wreath. There’s actually one on each side of the door, but they’re identical. I chose this one because you can see the mezuzah which hubby and I got for our wedding. Its…
DetailsWanted to share a couple other items I sewed for Thanksgiving. Above is a collar I made for Minnie. I used the same three fabrics you saw in the tablecloth and runner for everything, working with leftovers and scraps. Below is a skirt I made with leftover tablecloth fabric. And finally, since we already had…
DetailsSince this was my first year doing Thanksgiving at my house, I went all out with the sewing. In the above picture you can see most of the stuff I made including the tablecloth, the napkins, the table runner and the bread basket liner. All the napkins and the tablecloth had lovely mitered corners and…
DetailsI’m sure I’ll have another post-Thanksgiving post to show all the items I’ve made for Thanksgiving. This is my first Thanksgiving. I’ll be attempting my own turkey, my own stuffing and my own mashed potatoes. All of which I’ve never made. I also made a tablecloth, table runner, napkins and matching outfits for me and…
DetailsI apologize for just the food posts right now. I haves some sewing posts that I just need to finish up and I’m working on some really cool projects right now. So soon . . . soon there will be more crafty posts. Until then, enjoy these lovely desserts from Pamplemousse. The macarons at the…
DetailsIng Mom came into town the other day. I had been begging her for Aunt Shirl’s Jam recipe because it’s the best. So even better than just e-mail it to me, we made it together. Two batches actually, but I only took photos during the first. Aunt Shirl’s Raspberry Jam Ingredients 8 cups of raspberries…
DetailsI’ve decided to start a new item called “Food Friday.” I enjoy posting about food related items because I find they are often somewhat crafty in sort of creating an edible craft. But I’d really like this blog more to be about sewing and crafts. So I’ll stick to doing food items only on Fridays…
DetailsSo I entered my LED collar in a sewing contest on Pattern Review. My first entry into one of their contests. I wish I had made my dog bed just 2 weeks later because the contest is for sewing for your pet and the bed came out really awesome. But it has to be items…
