Since I didn't get much help in the "give me ideas to blog about" area, I will just improvise. :)
I did get 1 question from Emily -- "What are the ages of your children?". Angelina is 6 and Zoe is 2. And, Emily. I will post a picture of me soon.
So, still nothing really interesting to write about - I am working on a holiday project, but that will have to wait until next week or the week after, until it is finished.
I was reading this blog today. I really like this woman's blog! Some great ideas on there... seems like she always has something interesting to write about. ;) ha ha. Anyway, she posted a video on her blog of this woman that cooks AMAZING food. So, I thought I would share a couple with you as well.... All I have to say is, I want to run out and get what I need to make Caramel Croissant Pudding RIGHT NOW!! Yummmmmm!
Or how about some French Toast?
mmmmmm!
That's all I got for now! Seriously!! What are some interesting things I can blog about? IDEAS WANTED! ha ha ha!!! I am open to anything really... have a photography question? Have a sewing question? Knitting? Not that I know a ton about sewing or knitting... ;) truly I don't.
You know what would be fun? Ask me the FIRST question that pops into your head! Or suggest the first idea that pops into your head! Random is always good. ;)
And, after you do that, go make some Caramel Croissant Pudding!I sure want to! But, I think I will knit instead! Speaking of which, I finished my last class today! I now know how to do the purl stitch, Stockinette stitch, rib stitch, & seed stitch!! I also know how to increase and decrease stitches as well as binding off [getting the completed knitted project off your needles]!! I would say that taking the knitting class was worth every penny. ;)
XOXO,

P.S. I also started a Flickr group today!! It's called "The Fashionable Camera Strap". So, if you have purchased [or plan on purchasing] a camera strap slip cover, go on over to my Flickr group and join!! Just take a self portrait with your camera strap on. Take a picture in the mirror or a shopping mall window [or something else that gives a reflection]. This is going to be fun!
Because fall refuses to show her pretty little self to me outside [at least for this week... there is relief coming SOON!! Like in a few days!!!!!!!!!!!!], I figured I would make fall happen inside. A big way for me to feel like it's fall is to bake, and to bake something with pumpkin in it. And, since I volunteered to bring something baked to Angelina's Halloween party/parade tomorrow at her school, I had a reason! While leasurely browsing blogland, I stumbled upon these cookies, and KNEW that's what I was going to make! So I went to the store, bought the few ingredients I needed and then went to work...
They are really good! Here is the recipe. Go make some, and enjoy some Fall indoors!
To top that off, I made homemade applesauce too!! We bought some apples at Costco a week or so ago, and they didn't taste all that great... kinda bitter. But, I hated to waste them, so today I decided to make applesauce out of them...
I just winged it, but I know you can google "Homemade Applesauce", and a million results will show up. The applesauce turned out great!! It felt good to just be in the kitchen and bake at a leisurely pace. No rushing, just me and the ingredients. I felt so domestic! While the cookies baked and the apples simmered, I was sewing. One of Zoe's dresses was getting too short, and since A. I couldn't let go of it... it's cute! and B. It's a solid color, I figured that I could add a couple inches of fabric to the bottom of the dress for length, so I did that this afternoon too...
It turned out really cute!! Now she has lots more uses for it! That was my goal. ;)
I've also really been enjoying making these lately...
Yoyo's! They are easy and fun to make. :) I added one to Zoe's dress with a button sewn on top.
Wow! I have blogged a lot lately. Seems I feel like I have a lot to say! LOL. Gearing up for Halloween tomorrow. I really can't believe it's already tomorrow! For now, I leave you with a couple more pictures... of Angelina. ;)
