I had a really busy weekend this weekend.. alot of cleaning, gardening, freezing veggies, etc.. so really didnt have much time to get here this weekend. I finished the first Cupcake potholder.. and now am working on the second one.. just about half done..

I have to say this is really cute.. Love the textured part of the top of the cupcake.. smile.. I think this will be one of the patterns I will be making items regularly for sale..

Cupcake Hanging Towels and Cupcake Potholders

I am currently working on a cupcake order.. no.. not a food one.. but a order of cupcake towels and potholders.  Did the edging in layers using Simply Soft pink and Purple Herrschners Whisper Soft purple (same one I used in the potholders).  I finished the towels and now am working on the potholders.. got most of the first one done.. pictures are here..

The Pattern for the Potholders can be found HERE!! I just love the bobble stitch.. and love how it gives texture to the cupcake.. gonna back it with the variegated back.. matching the bow (not finished).. hope to show you the completed ones on Sunday.. wont be here on Saturday as my best friend is taking me to lunch at The Red Lobster and we are also going to The Christmas Tree store for towels.. smile..

I am currently working on a set of cupcake towels along with matching cupcake potholders.. the towels are almost done.. and I am just about half done with the first cupcake potholder.. pics in a day or so.

This set was the first order..

Michelle's Update - Garden Produce and Homemade Salsa recipe

Well.. I haven't been here for a while.. had alot to do the last couple of days..

First.. I picked a bunch of veggies from my garden.. The picture above was just one days worth of veggies.. Then I decided to make salsa from the tomatoes and peppers.. I dont can, so needed to find a freezer salsa recipe.. and to my surprise there were tons of them.. I ended up using this one from Taste Of Home

I picked that one because I had most of the stuff needed and I could easily change it around.. I removed the hot peppers, vinegar, sugar, and salt and added a jar of taco sauce I had (mild).. cut the red pepper in half (dont like really hot stuff).. and had my first taste last night.. came great..

Froze up the beans, gave away some of the eggplant and we breaded and fried the rest of it..

This weekend was my birthday..so we had a cookout and had over some of the neighbors, and my daughter in law and grandboys.. it was very nice.. made homemade pasta salad from some of the veggies, tuna mac salad, and grilled chicken legs, thighs, ribs and hot dogs.. and brownies for dessert (I LOVE chocolate).. was just a very nice day..

Yesteday needed to catch up with things on the computer.. as I got free ads on Ebay.. also working on 3 different sets of hanging towels and a set of cupcake potholders.. more about that tomorrow)..

Finally done.. The complete Mouse Soaker Set

Well.. I finished the slippers.. I have to say I love these slippers.. they are perfect for a little girl. and best part.. the cross over band is adjustable.. yep.. that button is there for a reason.. not decoration!! First one I have seen like these.. I can make these for
 about $3.50 each.. in your choice of colors..

New Update of Mouse Soaker Set..

This is coming along very nicely.. I only have the slippers to finish (started those last night).. thought you would like to see how it looks now.. am happy on how it it coming along.. I am assuming I will finish this set by Wed and have pictures then..

This is the hat.. had some problems sewing it together.. but it finally worked.. hopefully the ears stay upright..






This is a close up of the soaker.. back and front.. I added a slightly elastic band to it.. to remove the tie that the pattern had.. hopefully it works..
