Stoup

Amanda told me I should make Rachel Ray's Lasagna Stoup (Stew/Soup). I had all the ingredients on hand so I made it! Here it is boiling away. Some of the stewed tomatoes are really big. I usually cut those smaller but my scissors had raw meat on them. (Rachel Ray Stoup in a Rachel Ray Stock Pot...nice)-->


Next on the list...I am making a mini-wall-quilt. They pop up on etsy.com sometimes and I loveeeeee them. It's a quick way to decorate (kinda) and it is fun. And I got to use scraps from AMH.love.

For Maddie's b-day I made her a shirt. I mean, I appliqued a watermelon on a shirt I bought at Kohls. Her and Lena will both fit into it...they are 18 months apart and the same size :) (Lena is a bit taller but they weigh almost the same) The watermelon was Matt's idea..so was the embroidery...and he picked out the fabric. Today he said he is a "closet sewer" though he has never sewn a stitch (to my knowledge!)

My birthday is in 8 days.!!!!!!!!! I made Amanda something but it's a secret so I can't show it yet. YAY!
