Apron Update

Well, if you must know, I'm CRAZY! Wait... if you know me at all, you already knew that! I have decided to make 30 aprons in 2 1/2 weeks (all while recovering from an INSANE summer as well as start my studio back up and get ready for our cruise!). I am going to attempt to sell them at Peach Days in Utah. I hope they sell! Any that don't sell, will go to etsy assuming that I can set up shop there. My poor husband has been so kind to help me keep up on the house work so that I can sew like a mad women and get this all done! Wish me luck! PS... I am trying to decide on a price for my aprons... do you think $15 is too much?

Homemade Salsa!

First, you pick some tomatoes from your garden and chop them up.

Then drain and rinse a can of black beans. (Rinsing your beans helps to cut down on the gas!)

Toss in a can of drained whole kernel corn with your tomatoes and beans.

Add some red onions (or green-thanks for the tip Courtney!)

Chop up some cilantro and toss it in!

Then add some kick with fresh hot peppers or canned Chilies!

Pour over a little olive oil to hold it all together....

And YUMMO! Fresh garden salsa! Be careful to not over mix because you can break up the beans!



Dinner without cooking! (And uses up stuff from the garden and food storage!)

My First Attempt at Artisan Bread

My mom makes this "fancy" artisan bread with TONS of garlic in it. I thought I would take a stab at it, and YUM-OH! If you look at the second picture carefully, you can even see the garlic smelling steam seeping out. I think I just made my hubby very happy!

Addiction

Okay, I think I have an addiction! (But they are so fun to make!) I have fabric to make about 10 more....

Pink and brown and pink Ric-Rac

I love these colors! Doesn't this just make you want to make cookies?? Pink and brown is my new favorite combo!

Our living room

I have been bored with all the BEIGE in our house, so we decided to spice it up a little. First we had this...

and now with a little magic, a lot of sore muscles and some paint... drum roll please... Tada!

Okay, it's not finished yet. The big gap in the frame collage is going to be a big letter R and the pictures in the frames will soon be of us and not a sideways boat, but you get the idea!
