A lot of the goulash recipes I see online don’t seem to have smoked paprika in them, which seems to separate this from a spagetti sauce. Basically, this is a spagetti sauce with smoked paprika in it. Add a little […]

I got a chance to use some more of that fabric that has been sitting in my closet for a long time. For these first two tops I used a shirt I had bought as the pattern.  This first one […]

I had these things cut out for Kailan for about a month, so I put them all together at the same time.  That way it only took me an afternoon to make him two pair of pants and two shirts.  […]

I spent the first few days of vacation last week working for a bit.  That was fun. Not! Anyways, after getting a few things out the door for work, I was able to concentrate on the LOADS of sewing stuff […]

Nothing too exciting to show, but I thought I would prove that I have sewed a bit more things in the last few weeks. Kailan needed some new pants.  He loves warm and cozy fleece pants (who doesn’t???), so I […]

These are recipes my Sister-in-law, Susie, shared with me, so I thought I would pass them along… Clay 1 cup flour ½ cup salt 1 tsp powdered alum ¾ cup boiling water 1 Tbsp vegetable oil Food coloring (or drink […]
