Cooking, cutting,and Columbo

On By Laura PetersLeave a comment

Ok I got a air fryer griller thing for Christmas. My first thought was another thing I’ll like barely use to take up room in my mini kitchen. I opened the box the thing is kinda huge like the box was huge and hoped it was only half the size but it was basically the same size. I start using it and it works pretty good so far. I made two steaks in it and they were good. Made lots of french fries and I like it for fries. I don’t mind frying food but I’m always worried something will happen and burn down my apartment. I also really hate the splatters and dont let my daughter in the room while I’m frying. I watched a video before I made fries and the person only fried a handful of fries. I loaded that thing and it made enough for my family of three.

I started cutting out fabric for some clothes for my daughter and my niece. I like to cut multiple projects at once then sew. Really seems to go faster. Also been watching columbo. I love columbo. That show is great I love ever minute of it. Love the coat,the car, the dog and how he always mentions his wife.

Finished some things

I finished some things before Christmas and am finally making a blog about it. I really needed time to relax and do other things. I make my daughter’s dress which kind of turned out looking vintage. But it’s ok I’ll probably take off skirt and leave as shirt. I finished all the ornaments I wanted to do. I finished the hanging towels and the matching placemats for my mother in law.

Back

I went through all my old photos I had and starting scrapbooking them. Made my niece and nephew personalized tumblers. One is Minecraft the other is a rapper. There teens it’s what they like. Which of course I didn’t take pictures of apparently. I’m really not good at taking pictures of things I do. But I did make one for my daughter and husband. His is punisher and vw.

I’ve already got an even bigger list of things I want to do soon. I got to make things for my niece’s first birthday. I need to finish bags and wanted to make myself a coat. So excited about the coat I never make anything for myself.

Even more procrastinating with starting new project

Ok woke up early didn’t want to wake up my child as early so I made Christmas ornaments. I painted them yesterday but today I decorated them. I used embossing powder and tired using blow dryer to melt but didn’t work so had to put in oven. Which really sucks it was only reason I bought a blow dryer. So that’s lame. Also added some glitter and they came out adorable.

After that I decided to make blueberry jam and it came out so good. I did cut out padding for the placemats I need to start so there’s that. Yet at same time I decided I needed to make four sets of four so 16 placemats before Christmas.

Jam cooking

Then I decided to make quesdillas from scratch including the flour tortillas and the jalapeno sauce. But they came out delicous also. My daughter loved them of course my significant other was like there ok. But ignore him the mans idea of good food is peanut butter and jelly or cereal for dinner. Yeah like seriously and he’s 33 I don’t understand it either eats like five year old.

Tomorrow hoping to make at least one placemat mostly to get idea of what I want it to look like. So wish me luck.

I used old top sheet fabric and rest is fabric I bought

Got a lot done yesterday yet at the same time procrastinating. I need to make my mother in-law placemats should be the first thing I do. But what do I do I embroidered the fabric for the makeup bags I need finished by may. Then I decide to recover my ironing boards. After that I cut out and sew eight pairs of jammy pants for my daughter and my niece and a jammy top. Im getting things done but I also keep making more things to do. Like I already decided to make my daughter a bag does she need it now definitely not. Yet still most likely going to make today.

Added butterfly

I also made homemade pizza and cleaned my kitchen.

It was thick

I like adding small bows or cute things to my daughter’s clothes. It’s also helps make sure she will actually wear it. Went through patch were she wouldn’t wear anything I made. Last year I was a dinosaur for Halloween and had lots of green flannel left over I made a pair of pants for my niece and my daughter was upset she wanted green paints. I was honestly going to try to dye them to better color but I guess she likes. Also my daughter wants the little ironing board I recovered so cute.
