Sweater to Cardigan Tutorial

 I got this green sweater from Kohl's on clearance.  It's nice, but just kinda plain.  So I went about making a matching cardigan for my green paisley sleeveless shirt (above). 

 I used my sewing machine, some double folded binding tape in green, some scissors and a ruler. 

 I cut the sweater straight up the middle.

 Pinned on the bias tape, back side first. 

 Sewing the back, then pinning the front on and sewing it up.  Tucking in the ends of the tape on the edges of the sweater.

 Half hour later, ( I needed time to figure it out too ;) ) I'm finished and have an awesome custom cardigan.

 I'm very happy, and I think it's my favorite!  Are you going to try it?

Breakfast tomorrow?

Easy Leather Beaded Necklace

Here is an easy accessory to make with just a couple dollars.

I really like turquoise, so I got these beads from the craft store.  I  got leather cord in natural, I don't have the tools for making anything with metal jewelry.  Maybe one day!
I think some brown leather dye would also be nice for this necklace, but I haven't gotten to it yet.

Just tie knots after each bead on this one.  Super easy, and I like.

What are your plans this weekend?

Dunkin Donuts at Home - Egg Ham Wake up Wrap

Sometimes what we're lookin for is just an idea for something to eat, not so much a new recipe. 

I really enjoy Dunkin Donuts.  I also like the .99 cent wraps as does the little one.

I made this at home.  Not exactly from the drive thru, but really good! 

Ingredients:
1 Egg
1 Tbsp Milk
1 Slice Tavern Ham
1 Slice American Cheese
2 Flour Tortillas

Directions:
Scramble egg and milk together in a bowl.  Cook in a small saucepan over low to med heat.  Flip over when it looks glassy but cooked underneath.  Cook another 30 seconds.  Slice round piece of ham in half. Slice cheese in half.  Heat tortillas over flame till warm on both sides.  Slice egg in half.  Layer the halves in each of the tortillas.  Serves two.
