Creations from My Imagination

Good morning, I don't know if I ever mentioned that most of our creations are not from a pattern...it's not that I don't know how to read patterns, I just like to challenge myself. Besides, who wants to buy a pattern? We like to make a little $ ;)....I make notes for myself (calling it writing a pattern) in case I make the same thing again. But, sometimes I don't even understand my notes. I say this because a friend asked me if I could make a pattern for a little pig hat and diaper cover from a picture she sent. I knew I probably could make it the challenge is writing a pattern for her (or anyone) to understand....I decided that the easiest way I could make a pattern would be to make the product. So.....what might've taken an hour or two took me most of the day (working on and off between household chores, etc). This morning I read my pattern....it makes perfect sense to me....so, I will send it to Melissa and make sure to update you on the outcome ;)

No recipe today but a little helpful hint that'll save $

We love to make bean soup.... so ez and delicious the problem is that their is always a lot of leftovers that were going in the garbage as their are just the two of us. I even tried making only a half bag still a lot of beans ....I decided to "test" freeze my last batch...using the small plastic coffee "cans" .they turn out perfect...I couldn't believe it....so the next time you make bean soup....let soup cool all the way portion it into containers and voila....talk about a simple scrumptious meal ;)

That's all for today....Have a great day and God bless
