I have had people ask me about how I make salads. This<br />
is the one I have been eating almost everyday fora month!!!<br />
I buy the Artisan letter in a big cube shaped plastic box<br />
with 4 heads of the crispiest lettuce ever. I love it.<br />
<br />
I always add green onions, carrots, peppers, cucumbers, almonds, avocados and chicken.<br />
<br />
Sam's had a huge back of Tyson frozen chicken strips already<br />
grilled. Yummy.<br />
<br />
My favorite salad dressing is Paul Newman Lite Balsamic Vinegrette.<br />
<br />
One reason i put the almonds in it and the avocados, besides the fact that I like them, is<br />
that I have low magnesium. It helps.quiltingcarterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14299096694870756380noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2251278123809959962.post-36773012443579579822012-10-10T15:08:00.001-04:002012-10-10T15:08:14.679-04:00Lovely Gift from friend Barb Jolly<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Fabric Pumpkins</h2>
<br />
I love Fall and especially pumpkins.<br />
Friend Mia made some fabric pumpkins and I tried to <br />
make some using her tutorial. Notice I said tried. She is a much better seamstress than I am and so talented. Anyway, my twine was too thick and it just didn't suit me.<br />
I also couldn't see to thread the needle, so husband George jumped in and ordered me a "miner's" type visor with a magnifying lenses and light attached and a magnifying lamp and a lighted magnifying glass.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile I started researching tutorials onlin for fabric pumpkins and found tons.<br />
Then, I found the perfect one for me.<br />
<br />
Now, I can't stop making them. <br />

<div>
Friend Linda wanted me to make a bag for her very dear friend Eldona who was my next</div>
<div>
door neighbor when I was growing up. </div>
<div>
She is 95 and likes a small bag. She wanted a zipper closure and since I didn't have a pattern,</div>
<div>
I wasmaking it up as I went along.</div>
<div>
Then, after I made the zipper casing, I realized it was too thick to fir</div>
<div>
on the inside, so I decided to attach it to the outside.</div>
<div>
I really like the way it created a little cuff.</div>

are all finished. Place the lining inside the outer part and match the side

My New Project! Fabric Storage baskets</h2>
<br />
I love things in containers and not strewn all over the counters or dresser tops or bathroom, etc. Last year I made a denim container using Jen Giddens free tutorial and we use it to keep our bread in on the counter. It holds 3 loaves of bread standing end for end. It is adorable. I am fairly sure I posted a pic of it.<br />
<br />
I was browsing through the free projects at sew4some.com and found some baskets and decided to make one. I made the read and blue one I posted and decided it could be made alittle easier. I like easy.<br />
For it I had used the sew in craft type interfacing from Therm o Web which I love. I forgot that I was supposed to turn the edges under and iron it and when I got to that step I realized it was too thick to work. So, I added a strip of fabric along the top to turn under and it worked out ok. Then when I added the rick rack to the lining, it was alittle redious going around the circle so I decided next time I would not do it that way.<br />
<br />
Anyway, by the time I finished the first one I had completely changed the pattern. LOL<br />
<br />
When I made the second one, I used Therm o Web fusible fleece on both inner and outer and it worked wonderful.<br />
<br />
I also sewed the rick rack on the lining before I sewed the lining together.<br />
That was a mistake, which I later fixed.<br />
<br />
Anyway I am going to make another one and take pictures of the steps for those of you who are interested in making one.<br />
