TAD 19- bread

Real creative, right?? Saturdays don't usually leave a lot of free time for crafting...but baking bread can't wait. Mmm.

TAD 18- quilt blocks

Got started today on the blocks for a table runner. A mix of thrifted linens and leftover calico from another project.

TAD 17- tong yuen!

To celebrate the last day of Chinese New Year, and today's full moon, I made some tong yuen (little balls of glutinous rice flour and water). I served them with peach syrup. They were tasty, but came out quite a bit tougher than the ones my MIL made when she taught me. Oh well- I guess that means I just need to try again. Yum!

TAD 16- a teeny blanket

This was meant to be a church-themed White Elephant gift. Get it? It's the Comforter.....

Heh. Yeah.

TAD 15- chili

Today, I made a huge batch of chili. Half was for us, and half went to an ill friend for dinner. And since chili isn't that photogenic....you'll just have to take my word for it. Heh. Cheers!

TAD 14- a hem!

Yes, it took about 5 minutes....but it was totally worth it! My new favorite lounge pants just got a 4" chop, and now I can wear them out without stepping on them. Woohoo!
