May 1, 2012 - MAY DAY!!!
Happy May Day everyone...!! I never really understood this day...dancing around a May Pole.. I'll have to GOOGLE that and see what the deal is!
I'm running late today! I was awake at 4:30 am and told myself... DO NOT GET UP!! So I didn't and fell back to sleep and woke up at 7:00!! That is very unusual for me...so I feel like I have HOURS wasted.
The Pinterest program decided to be a little stubborn this morning...so I couldn't get much for you. Just as I would PIN something... or try to move it to my blog...the system would go down! ARG... very frustrating.
I did find this beautiful "granny square" throw!!! One of my friends (Susan) was making one the other day and it just put a bug into me... (like I have time to do this). So.... I've just been collecting patterns and someday it may come to life!
Now... I'm normally not a fan of this type of throw...but I think the colors are beautiful. I want to use pale colors tooo... to match my new quilt on the bed. aaaahhhh... someday!!! Susan... don't you love this? It looks JUST LIKE YOU!!!
**********************************************
Then... look at this sweet little fellow!! He's made from wool roving!! Am I NOT the most adorable bunny???? Heather... can you make this sweet little fellow? (I know you can!)
I love his little nose... the way they've made it a different color... so precious!
***********************************
Look at these yummy potatoes!!! OMG... I love potatoes ! Unfortunately they are full of carbs and I'm trying to stay away from them (darn it anyway). However... I may just have to make these and try a couple of slices. They simply look too scrumptious to pass up. Here's the recipe!
2 large potatoes, scrubbed
3 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp Italian
Seasoning
1 tsp salt
4 Tbsp Parmesan
cheese
Slice potatoes into very thin slices (1/4 inch). big ziploc
bag to coat the potatoes. Toss potatoes with olive oil, Italian seasoning and
salt in a ziplock bag to coat. Place in
a single layer on a baking sheet lined with foil. Bake at 450 for 15 -20 minutes,
until lightly brown. Top with Parmesan
cheese and bake an additional 5 minutes.
I could go for some of these right now... sprinkled with some green onion and a little dab of sour cream... oh my!!! (my stomach just growled....)

Hey...check out this rug!! I LOVE IT!! Now... this is something else. Isn't it cool? I wonder where in the world they got the material for this thing? I went to the site and it's from Etsy.. .a long time ago. Has anyone ever seen yarn like this (I guess it's some type of yarn) I wonder what size hook they had to use!!! WOW!!!!
*********************************************
Okay... I give up posting pictures... the computer is just not cooperating today and I'm about to pound it with a hammer. So... instead... I'm off to the shower and getting my sewing room ready for a busy day. My girlfriend, Merryanne, is coming to sew today and then we're having lunch out somewhere. YUM...
Have a super day and we'll hope tomorrow will be a better day for posting!
Make some stitches today!
