Gluten-free chocolate scones
So although I mainly mean this to be a sewing blog, I crafted something else today and wanted to share it. We love chocolate scones around here, but I’ve been feeling not so happy after eating them lately. I tried a version of these a couple weeks ago and they were moist but still crumbly, so I wanted to tweak…

Sewing Again
I’m doing some sewing again! Yay! Although I’d started moving my sewing studio to the garage, I found I just didn’t want to be out there when it is 38° outside. Brr! But I had to get some work done, so my regular machine and a handful of needed things came in last night. In the interest of laziness but…

Silhouette Contest
So, how much do I want to win a Silhouette CAMEO? A LOT. Here’s a silly contest entry I made yesterday about it. I pinned it as per their directions, but Pinterest ate the image! So here’s a link to it that I’m adding to the pin. This would enable me to do so many more awesome things! Here’s…

Fall Quinoa Salad Recipe
Today I did a little recipe post for a Corn Free Community site that I totally didn’t know existed. It’s part of a larger network of Corn Free sites. We have a Facebook group and a Blogspot site all run by the talented, dedicated Von Young. Being corn allergic or intolerant is rather stinky. Not only do some doctors NOT…

A costume that wasn’t for Halloween
Here’s my semi-recap on the costume I made in October that had nothing to do with Halloween! I did start doing a spookyish costume for me that I could potentially use this 31st if I get it done. But all the kids’ costumes were purchased this year. Bad designer! Oh well. So as I mentioned, my friend Linda Bair of…

Wrap Skirt Tutorial With Pockets
Here’s my first sewing tutorial posted! It’s a really fun to wear wrap skirt with pockets. Super comfy. This isn’t a new thing I just made, however I just finally got everything together and pictures shrunk to web size, so now I can share it with you. Oh, and we’re nearing the end of National Sewing Month. If you haven’t…

Creamy Tomato Sauce
I’ve previously posted a picture of this sauce at this post when I was attempting to do one of those Instagram photo-a-day things, just to get more regular about posting on my blog. Well, that’s not going to work for me. I’m too irregular. Maybe someday I won’t be. But I’m reposting with recipe today. Why? Well, contest entry of course.…

Need
I need to sew today. That is all. OK, I’m long winded, so that’s not all. I’ve been desperately needing to sew. I have projects I want to get done, but I’m having trouble getting started. I worked on a backlog of mess that was preventing me from fun last night, so that should help. But I’m trying to relocate…

DIY Creamy Dreamy Lotion
So, since getting allergic to corn, I have to make more and more things for myself. Corn is seriously in everything! Don’t believe me? See the “good things” that come from corn here! And while my problems with it are more digestion related than a true allergy (I think, anyway), I really just want to get away from the stuff.…
