I finally made some things!

Today was such a nice day I sat outside and did some knitting. Worked on some socks that have been on the needles for a few years now. They are from a free pattern and worked completely from a chart. The pattern can be found here http://www.atimetoknit.com/d_k_M_SOCK.html#pine.

Trying to be frugal, I decided to make granola in my crock pot, with seeds, nuts and rolled grains that I had lying around in my pantry. I also put a vanilla bean in it. Can't wait to try it.

A few weeks ago I made vanilla gelato with a vanilla bean in it. Was very delicous. Here is a picture. There is a local company that sells vanilla beans for an incredible price. I bought a bag when I was at the Food Show. http://www.maisoncote.com/

Lazy Sunday Afternoon




Here are pictures! Had a lovely lazy day cutting out pattern pieces for a mini dress for summer. Here is a picture of the pattern and the awesomely bright pink fabric. The fabric shades from dark pink to a kind of peachy colour.

All that pattern cutting made me hungry so I made udon noodles with peanut sauce and snap peas. I love peanut sauce!

My First Blog Post

I created this blog to share what I am making with my friends and family. Pictures coming soon of all the wonderful (hopefully) projects I am creating. I enjoy sewing, knitting, beading, spinning, and cooking. I also love learning new skills. Hope you enjoy what I have to share!
