Two new dresses…

There are two new dresses up on my site…

I put a lot of work and detail into these dresses….

One is a 24m/2y in green tones…

the other…

4y in pinks..

both can fit a bit larger and smaller because of the shirring and the adjustable straps…

Salmon… stuffed and smothered…

This is a recipe that even the fish hater in my family likes…

Like most of my recipes… amounts are approx…

butterfly a Salmon filet and stuff with crumbled goat cheese, tarragon, salt and pepper…. and place in a baking dish…

In a bowl Mix together about 1/4c of sour cream and 3 tbsp of Mayonnaise, add to that add about 3 tsp of mustard, chopped green onion (I use 2), about 3 tbsp of parmesan, and about 1 tbsp each of tarragon and dill, a bit of pepper and a bit of salt to taste… (might not need it depending on the parmesan)

spread over the stuffed salmon fillets… (you can reserve some of the sauce for dipping)

bake at 450 for about 10 min per inch of thickness…

stuffed…

opening the blog a bit more…

A while back, for spam and privacy reasons I had closed the blog to comments from unregistered users… I have decided to try again and leave things open..

Of course, registration still has its advantages in that there are posts that might not be out in the open and you can get notifications of new posts in your inbox… but to make it easier for people to comment I have installed a new plug in for spam and comments are now open and easier to use…

custom recycled pants..

With Khéna’s “weird” shape… finding pants that fit has been a task to say the least… I knew I could make some but I was a bit scared of patterns… but I finally decided to try… however… just like pants don’t fit… patterns don’t fit… so I found a pattern that I had bought at the thrift store and like I get the general idea from a recipe… I got the general idea from the pattern and made my own…

Because I didn’t know how it would turn out I used an old pair of Simon’s pants for the material… I am pretty happy at how they turned out and they fit him so well and look so comfortable!

My first Etsy purchase…

I think it was more than a year ago that I started getting comments on my pics from Blanche… we friended each other and everytime she would share her husbands work on Flickr I would drool… He makes hand made lamp work glass beads… I just knew that I HAD to get something one day…

So when we got our tax return and a new batch of pics came up I just knew that it was the time…

It took me a few days to decide on exactly what I wanted… though Talie wasn’t really a hard decision to make… she is SO cute….

So I made my purchase and a few days later I got my package…

Not only did I get what I ordered but Guy and Blanche threw in a few “non perfect” beads… what a sweet gesture!!

fits perfectly...

Talie the frog...

Oh.. I also got a handwritten letter… it has been such a long time since I have gotten one of those…

I think I am going to try to write back 😉

Don’t forget to check them out on ETSY!!!
