SKOW sewing continues

Since that iccky time in May I have not done any of my Some Kind of Wonderful as nothing seemed wonderful to me at the time…BUT I now have 3 rows of my SKOW sewn yipee, and I also have some block of the next row completed..I really have enjoyed getting back into it.

This looks a tad wonky but it really is just I was too hot to go get the iron on and press it again..and the bloomin cat kept running over it-as she does anytime I lay fabric stuffs on the floor.

Okay here it is again hanging in the messy corner…

 

Hmm yep I made a spelling boo boo and as I had used brown pigma pen to trace –I had the option of redoing the whole block or leaving it and you know what I think I can live with it-I trim the blocks back to size before I join them.  Ok off to sew a cat block,

Swap gifts made

I love making items for other people, but I will admit quite often I have too make 2 ‘cause I just knows I will want one for me .. do you do that to?

This is what I made Fee for her main present in the advent Swap-I always feel a bit umm inadequate –  might be the word I am looking for –in my sewing when my partner is someone who designs and sells and does gorgeous work.

Soon as I saw The Perfect Quilted Totes on Oh Fransson blog I just knew after I secretly asked a squirrel her advice on some fabric I had that the fabric would be perfect to make one for Fee..so I entered the wee giveaway but alas random number thingy didn’t pick me, so I just clicked my way over to Elizabeth’s shop and purchased a pattern for me. The pattern was very clear and easy to follow and I love patterns like that don’t you?

Cheers for now

Cooking

Oh yes I do cook..interrupts with sewing time some days.

Anyways back to the post in mind..this year I have decided I am going to try and cook at least 1 new to me recipe each week-I admit some times the recipe may just be a variation on something I already make..but to be honest when it comes to the kitchen and cooking I am bored…

So I know there is a great big WWW of recipes and friends only all to willing to share so I have taken that on board and have also bought 3 new to me cookbooks from an Oppe Shoppe and I am actually looking forward too see what I come up with.

Tonight I am making this recipe I found here..since I found some veal & pork mince in the freezer gawd knows what I bought it for-but this recipe will do just dandy..

I will be serving it on a bed of using rice/glass noodles.

Umm  on the sewing front yep I have sewn I think..oh yes silly me I am actually back to doing My Favourite Things Quilt-that I have not touched since back in May, happy to say I am enjoying it again and it will get finished.

Cheers Vickie
