Did you know you can regrow green onion from the grocery store as long as it still has the roots attached? Just use the greens and put the roots with a few inches of the onion in a flower pot with soil. Leave in a sunny window (all year round) and in a few weeks you will have new growth. Simply snip the greens from it and keep growing!
When I have left over beef/steak I love to make this quick meal.
This time I shaved some beef with my meat slicer:
You can choose any loaf of bakery bread. Slice it in half length-wise.
Fry up some onion and jalapeno.
Place bread on baking pan. You can brush the open bread with olive oil and fresh minced garlic. I do! Top with the beef and onion mixture.
Then load it up with grated cheese.
Throw it in the oven at 350 F until the bread is crisp and cheese is melted.
So good! 🙂
Aren’t these adorable?
You can use anything round for the rim. Cut a piece from a toilet paper roll or something similar. I used the bottom of a used K-Cup.
The length of the yarn will depend on how small or large your hat will be. I wrapped a bunch of yarn around some dowels. Tied it in the middle to hold them together and then cut the ends. Leaving me with several strands to work with.
Now it is time to attach the strands around the rim.
Keep going until you have covered the entire rim.
Now we will fold the yarn under the rim and up through the middle.
Next we will tie some yarn near the top where we will make the pom-pom. Cut to desired size.
If you would like fuzzy hat, use a cat hair brush. Brush strands before pushing them up through the rim.
I save the fuzz from the brush to use as hairs for my clay dolls. But that is for another post.
I had this shirt that sat hanging in my closet that I just couldn’t get rid of because I liked the colour and fabric, but it was just not my style. So, I grabbed my seam ripper, took the collar and arms off and sewed it back up.
A new shirt that I will actually wear!
I have to watch my spending now more than ever before. One thing I use a lot of is glue. If there is a project I am making that needs to be painted and has a surface that paint does not usually cover well, my go to is covering the surface with a one ply layer of a napkin. This requires Mod Podge. It is not cheap, so I make my own. All you need is regular (dollar store) white school glue. Take one cup of glue and add 1/3 cup of water. Works for me!
