Sewing: Week One
Week One My first project is McCall’s pattern M6992. It’s an easy pattern of tops, 6 different styles and I did option B. Now, two main things I did differently than what the pattern directions suggest. 1. I rarely baste. Personally, I find it a waste of time, however, in some circumstances I understand why it needs to be done. The reason I didn’t baste is because of my next tip. 2. I sewed the sleeves onto the front and back first, thus no reason…

52 Weeks of Sewing!
52 Weeks of Sewing 52 weeks of sewing. That’s right! You read the sign correctly. This is one of my new year’s goals – to sew a project each week, thus, 52 weeks of sewing. Don’t get me wrong, I love to sew; but I think having a goal like this will prevent me from binge sewing which leads to burnout. No more sewing straight for 3 weeks and then walking away for 3 weeks. This year I want more balance. The 52 week challenge…

Ingredients about 4 cups of cake flour 4 teaspoons of baking powder and soda 1 teaspoon of…

Recipe: Gluten Free Pumpkin Waffles
Gluten free pumpkin waffles – why not? Just because it’s not fall doesn’t mean you can’t use pumpkin. The holidays were a blast – I got to spend time with my husband and my in-laws, oh, and my adorable pups. They are so precious. Okay, back to waffles. These waffles hold up well in my waffle iron – I’ve tried recipes that simply clump and make a mess (then I usually turn the recipe into pancakes). So, here we go! Ingredients 3/4 cup of pumpkin…

Project: Christmas Recap
Christmas recap – this is a little throwback to some of the recipes and projects I’ve done in the past. This year, I’m taking the holidays a little slower and not focused so much on making things, but rather spending time with my husband and my two dear puppies who most likely won’t be around too much longer. My heart is full and things are great! Christmas Recap Just because I’m slowing down, however, doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy a few favourites, right? In 2013…
