Baby Skirt for Rachel

-


I know it has been a long time since I have posted. I do have lots of excuses including my husband's bone marrow transplant (documented at Karlsmultiplemyelomajourney.blogspot.com) and the birth of my first grandchild, beautiful Rachel, who is now almost 3 months old.

I absolutely love everything about this little girl, especially her red hair! People who see us together say that she has my hair. Well, not really, but it's the colour I wanted mine to be for 35 years until I worked up the nerve to dye it! I told her that she is so smart for being born with such beautiful hair!

 Today I'm going to make a little Halloween skirt for her. I'm using the pattern here:

 Baby skirt

Unfortunately I knew I didn't have any 1" elastic when I saw this pattern this morning. I went to every store in Eastport (all 4!) but no luck. I ran into my Aunt Yvonne at one of the stores, and she said she would look in her supplies. She had some 3/4" elastic which she graciously brought to me, so ...I will make do. Since Rachel will be a whole year bigger next year and this skirt's size is 0-3 months, she likely will only wear it once or twice.


It took less than an hour to go from this:




to this:



to this!


Can't wait to see it on her!

I'm working on more posts soon! Cheers!

Fish ‘n’ Brewis

Twas a great marnin’ on da water...I know first hand because I had to go to be the third person in the boat. I didn’t catch the biggest cod fish, but I did catch the first one! We didn’t see any whales this morning, but I was told that yesterday they saw whales and porpoises. I can’t swear to the authenticity of the story because you know men and their fishing stories lol. So I decided last night that I was going to cook fish 'n' brewis today and use some of the fish I hoped to catch. It's necessary to decide you are going to cook fish 'n' brewis the day before because you have to put the hard bread in water overnight. Hard bread, hard tack...whatever you call it and where ever you get it, it was a staple for our ancestors, mainly the men, when they went in the woods or out sealing. I can't imagine living on mainly hard tack for weeks at a time, but obviously history tells us that it can be done. The most common form of hard bread is Purity. Made ...

Partridgeberry Scones

There is nothing in the world as good as a partridgeberry. AKA lingonberries if you are from Scandinavia. They grow wild here in Newfoundland and at this time of year we take to the woods to get our winter supply. I have to admit I haven't picked any yet this year. My 81-year-old father picked 3 gallons for me! Aren't they beautiful! If you aren't lucky enough to have your own supply of these in your back yard, you can substitute cranberries in the recipe. The scones won't be as good, but you work with what you've got right? Scones are pretty forgiving when you are making them, and they allow for lots of substitutions, which I will get to as I go along. The recipe will list exactly what I used today, which is the best of the various ingredients that you can use. First things first. Lift the shelf in your oven to the highest possible position. Yes I mean the one that almost touches the top element (if your oven is old like mine and still has an expo...

Copycat Mary Brown's Chicken Wings in the Actifryer

It has been months since I have posted. Life happens! Other than my granddaughter growing so quickly, not a lot else is new on the people front. On the personal front, Karl gifted me with a longarm sewing machine a couple of weeks ago. It's for my birthday and Christmas and next year's birthday and Christmas and...lol. It's all put together but I haven't started her up yet! A little daunting! (Why is a sewing machine a female?) I'll post a picture of my first completed project when I take the plunge and thread the needle! While the calendar says summer, the temperature doesn't. We've had a few nice 'seasonal' days, but today isn't one of them. I thought I'd make comfort cold weather food for supper, which in this case is copycat Mary Brown's chicken wings in the Actifryer. Then I thought I'd take some pictures and do a blog post. So, here goes...lol I can't take credit for the Mary Brown's mix. That goes to Barry Pars...
