Day 31 - Pasta Day!

I had my 3 daughters over to make pasta today.
We made capelitti, ravioli and baked spaghetti.
To top it off we also made a pan of cinnamon rolls.
Everything was made from scratch and with love!

Day 30 - Idle for Now

These aprons are sitting idle for now
but come tomorrow, they will be
in full use! Tomorrow is PASTA
MAKING DAY! And while it is
a LOT of work, it is wonderful
tasting food!

Day 29 - A rainbow of thread

All my sewing life I sewed with Coats and Clark
thread. I took a few years off from sewing after
my mother died. When I returned to sewing and
the fabric stores after this long absence, I was
surprised to find that Coats and Clarks had
redesigned their spools. I also discovered Gütermann
thread, made in Germany. It has now become my thread
of choice. I was able to purchase an assortment pack of 24
assorted colors. It comes in handy when changing
projects on a regular basis. No more having to run
out to find the perfect shade of thread.

Day 28 - Awaiting creation

Here's the paper and embellishments I'll use for
this years Valentines. Now all I have to do is
take the time and put them together.

Day 26 - Never too old for Dolls
