this week...Mmmmm

This week, I made a dessert that I found on pinterest. Looks good, haven't tried it yet.

While I'm at it...............

After making the warm fuzzys, this week I decided to make another heat bag. I left my old one down south because it is so heavy to carry in luggage and we always hit it pretty close to the weight limit on the plane. So this is my creative attempt for this week, not very artistic, but homemade just the same. And useful.

I have the 'warm fuzzies'

This week winter has arrived and I am dedicated to keeping warm.  These are little hand warmers made of flannel and rice (like a heat bag idea) . You heat them in the microwave for 30 to 40 seconds and they will keep your hands warm in your mitts for up to an hour. They are not as good as the commercial ones ( that work for about 8 hours - but who is out that long?) but I like that you can reuse them over and over.

Better late than never.....

This week I was on vacation, so it was a simple one. Still, enjoyed it and liked the end result. Had a few pieces leftover...oh well.....

"Overall" it was a good week !

Right up to speed on this one. Although, last time I sewed some overalls, I mentioned they were for wee Maddy, but they weren't, these ones are. The last ones were for Sqeak. I hope they fit.

This week - DIY or, 'These Boots Were Made for Walking"

This week was tough. Was out every night, but I did manage a small DIY project. My feet are a little wide (more like platters at the end of my legs) so I decided to stretch some boots that I had bought a while ago. What do you know, - it worked ! A little rubbing alcohol and some damp newspaper and viola - done.

This was fun !

Well, this week was fun. A quick, easy project and I was satisfied with the results. Saw it on pinterest (where else).
I like the way they are a bit 'sloppy', I don't like projects that have to look perfectly symmetrical, I prefer a more 'relaxed' look, I guess that is why I enjoyed this project so much. I ended up putting them in the laundry room. If anyone asks, I'm going to tell them that I got a good deal at Pier One Imports ;).
