Yummy Goodness

The last few months I have been cooking and baking more. Here are a few things I've eaten.

 
Tasty strawberries smoothies


Juicing- grapes...
It is so good!
 
I had lots of "cutie" oranges so I juiced them to make orange juice! 

german pancakes

All the fixin's

I bought the pizza dough and sauce. 
Then put olives, mushrooms, pepperoni, and cheese. 

I made peanut butter chocolate chip cookies


Delish!
 
The picture below is what I gave to the people building the Temple near me. I took a separate plate to my friend's work to share the wealth of goodness.



I made chicken fajitas last Monday for dinner.

Sewed a Skirt!

I have a friend who is an amazing seamstress. I was telling her I love sewing, but don't know a whole lot so she said she'd help me sew something. I chose a skirt! So we went to JoAnn's and bought a pattern and fabric that were both on sale. I learned how to do french seams and other nifty tricks. Before I sewed the front and back together I tried it on and it was too small. For once in my life something was too small for me!! So I bought more fabric and sewed two strips down each side. Unless you know what happened, you can't even tell they weren't part of the original pattern.

Starting off...

Sewing part of the ruffle.

The back of the skirt is complete!

It's finished!!
 
 
The top I wore with it.
