Embellished T- Shirt with Cut Fabric Flowers

I was already wearing this shirt today, and I couldn't think of any jewelry I had to wear to make it look better.
I stopped at Joann's and got a 1/4 yard of fabric.

I cut out a couple flowers.

Got them situated and pinned and sewed with a baste stitch around all of it. Then I went back with a zigzag stitch for the edges. I'm hoping it frays a little after washing for a more vintage look.

Finished!

What do you think?? Come by and leave me a comment!

Boneless Buffalo Chicken

Ingredients:
2 Boneless Chicken Breasts ( I just cut mine off the bone because they were .99cents a lb.)
Flour, enough to coat chicken
2 Tbsp. Crisco
3 Tbsp. Margarine

Sauce:
8 Tbsp. Lousiana Hot sauce
8 Tbsp. Margarine
1 1/2 Tbsp. White Vinegar
1 Clove Garlic, Diced
1/2 Tsp. Worcestershire sauce

Directions:
Dice up Chicken into bite size cubes. In a ziploc baggie, toss Flour in with chicken and coat.
Heat crisco and butter. Add chicken and cook until done, turning pieces over halfway through. In the meantime, saute garlic with the butter, then add the rest of the ingredients. Simmer for about 5 minutes. Pour over chicken. For added flavor, toss some crumbled bleu cheese over hot chicken and serve with ranch dressing.

This recipe came to me in a pinch. I didn't have any buffalo sauce of which I usually buy the .99 kind. I also didn't have oil, so I went with criso and butter. This chicken is delicious, and I wish I had some waiting for me now. Instead, I need to go start on our dinner now...

Embellished T- Shirt Super Fast!

I took a walk through Joann's and found this absolutely matching flower to go with my t shirt.

I just pinned and sewed it on.

It really churched it up, as they say. I'm sure I could make one of these myself, but I just haven't put the time in. Clean the bathroom?...or Change her diaper...oh! or I could make this awesome bow. In my case, I did the first two...

Hope everyone has had a good week thus far. I've been keeping myself busy, and haven't gotten to the computer much. Also, blogger lost some of my saved posts and you may have had an error this last weekend if you tried to get to a blogger page. Their whole site was down.

Polish Kielbasa Sausage and Peppers

Always looking for an easy recipe, I came across this. My husband had grilled the onions, peppers and mushrooms in foil the day before, so these are the leftovers!

All you do is chop and add some olive oil. Grill in a pouch of aluminum foil. I think you could also try this in the oven...but I haven't done that yet. Make sure to close it up so it steams.

Saute up your precooked sausage and add your steamed onions, peppers and mushrooms. I really like the texture of these vegetables.

Coming this next week, I have recipes for a Thai Peanut pasta and some Creamed Spinach as well as some Shirt Refashions.

I hope everyone has a great weekend. Quite a weather change we've had lately. Back to jackets. What are you doing?

Fix'a Skirt for a $1

I got a really great deal on buttons at Joann Fabrics. I just couldn't pass them up. Plus I had a 10% off coupon on everything. They can totally change up anything ordinary. I'll be showing you some of my creations the next few days.

On to the skirt! At Marshall's it pays to look around. I found this skirt for a $1 on clearance. Three of the loops were half off, and it was too big for me.

I sewed up the loops, and then took in the sides to fit. I love it! With spring/summer coming, I'll appreciate the lightweight material of this skirt. It's gonna look great with a brown belt too. For now I'm thinking some gray tights and my brown boots. Ahh..comfort.
