WIP Wednesday

A little cooking and sewing and FINALLY catching up on the laundry! What have you been working on today?

25 Weeks

I can't believe the Third Trimester is here. We still do not have a name yet! The newest Veth will arrive at the end of June/ beginning of July.

Happy Weekend

Here is another project I finished recently. I did not make the yoyos, but found them stuffed in a box at a flea market in DC. I knew they could be something beautiful. I brought them home and washed them. I made pillows by stuffing the fabric with bamboo filling. I think they will find a home either on our downstairs couches or on our bed. What do you think?


Hope you have a lovely weekend.... What Spring Projects are you working on?

This Moment (inspired by Soulemama)

This moment - A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. If you're inspired to do the same, leave a link to your 'moment' in the comments for all to find and see.

Inspired by Mayamade

I made this over the weekend. It was sitting in my project bin for awhile and I am so glad I finished it. The design in inspired by the very talented Mayamade. Be sure to check out her shop. I am still new at sewing and I did cheat a little, but I just love my new purse. What do you think?

Homemade Ketchup

This recipe is so simple. I like my ketchup a little sweeter, so I added a tad more sugar. You will never buy store bought ketchup after trying this out. Let me know what you think!


INGREDIENTS:

2 cans tomato paste
1/2 cup of water
1/2 cup of light brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp of dry must
1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar
pinch of cinnamon, ground cloves and cumin

INSTRUCTIONS:

Mix all ingredients together in small bowl. You may adjust the spices to your taste.
If mixture is too thick add more water to thin.
Place in a covered jar. Since this ketchup does not have preservatives, it should be used up within a month.

Finished!

My First pair of Booties. They were a lot easier to make than I thought they would be. I finally learned the proper way to increase. It's not so difficult. If you want the pattern I will reference the book I got it from at my local library. The baby's take home outfit is almost complete.
