Sewing: Week Forty: Leather Trimmed Pencil Skirt
Leather trimmed pencil skirt for this fall inspired week forty of 52 weeks of sewing. This is a bit of a tricky tutorial mainly because it deals with leather. The thinner your leather the easier time you’ll have sewing; however, if you use thick leather the project will look stunning (it’ll just be hard to sew). Okay, let’s get started! What You Need 1 yard of stretch knit 2 pieces of leather (16.5 x 2.5 inches) waist measurement in 3 inch elastic serger machine matching…

Recipe: Gluten Free Pecan Cookies
Gluten free pecan cookies on this fine Thursday afternoon. Who’s excited for Project Runway tonight? Me! Ian had to go in episode one – simply not adjusting his style or vision to the challenge was clearly a mistake. Last week, though, I was sad to see Linda go. I really liked her. Okay, enough about that – time for gluten free cookies. Let’s get baking. Ingredients 3/4 cup of melted butter 3 oz of cream cheese 1/2 cup of sugar 1 cup of packed medium…

Recipe: Gluten Free Mexican Turkey Scotch Eggs
Gluten free Mexican turkey scotch eggs are today’s recipe here at 3ten. Did you watch the last season of MasterChef? Well, a few weeks back they had a picnic episode and they had to make scotch eggs. My husband was like ‘oh, those look so good!’ Challenge accepted. The next day I ran some errands and picked up some ground turkey and some gluten free rice ‘breadcrumbs’. My goal on this recipe is to put my own little twist on it. Let’s get cooking! Ingredients…

Travel: Riding Bikes in Siem Reap
Riding bikes in Siem Reap is so much fun. It’s a challenge, don’t get me wrong, to navigate the speedy mopeds, tuk-tuks, and cars, yet it’s exciting, too. These are our top of the line bikes. Our hotel, Hima Boutique, got them for us on our second full day in Siem Reap. They had them ready to go at 7 am and we used them all day long. The cost – 2$ each. Talk about cheap. They each came with a lock and a light…

Travel: Hima Boutique Siem Reap
Hima Boutique Siem Reap is a delightful hotel with welcoming staff and a cooling pool. It’s fairly inexpensive – we paid about $29.00 Canadian per night and stayed 3 nights. Oh, and free breakfast, which is awesome. Fried rice with a sunny side up egg is a great way to start the day. If only I could make fried rice like that. Location The Hima Boutique is located on Taphul Street and is outside of the hustle and bustle of Pub Street or the ‘downtown’…

Travel: 3 Days in Siem Reap
Three Days in Siem Reap Three days in Siem Reap are some of the best on our whole 23 day trip to Southeast Asia. Seeing temples, swimming in the hotel pool, cooking lessons, and riding bikes. Oh, and eating some of the most delicious food! Like really delicious food. Three days in Siem Reap is enough time, yet don’t spend much less time here. In all honesty, I could have spent 5 days here riding my bike and eating fried rice with a fried egg…
