Lorraine’s This2That

This was a wrap around skirt that I made into a purse. Someone that liked the other black purse with pink flowers which sold asked if I had any fabric with green so when I saw this purse I thought it would be perfect. All of these are one-of-a-kind so you won't find someone else with the same purse. I will be able to make an apron out of what is left over. I had a temporary set back when we got water in our basement, my sewing room had to be moved to the game room on the other end of the basement so I haven't had much time to sew. We have to fix the window well so that doesn't happen again and then we can put my sewing room together. In the meantime I have a space to sew in but it's not what I was used to but at least I'm able to sew!!! WHOOHOO!!!

Today I showed Heidi how to make a scrub top. She did an awesome job! She is a quilter but hasn't really sewn garment. It turned out GREAT!

This was an easy and AMAZING Crock-Pot dinner! I thought it was pretty good but my husband said it was AMAZING and that's all I need to hear to make this again. Here you go: 1 pound 90% lean ground beef 1 Can diced tomates, drained - I used Rotel and I didn't drain it 1 Cup chopped onion 1 tbsp chili powder 1 clove garlic, minced 1/2 tsp ground cumin 1/2 tsp dried oregano 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes 1/4 tsp black pepper 2 cups cooked macaroni - I used shells because that's what I had. Brown beef in large nonstick skillet over medium heat stirring to break up meat. Drain fat and transfer to Crock-Pot, add tomatoes (or Rotel), onion, chili powder, garlic, salt, cumin, oregano red pepper flakes and black pepper, mix well. Cover, cook on Low 4 hours Stir in macaroni, cover cook 1 hour I also brown my beef the night before to save some time in the morning. I cooked on keep warm for 8 hours and when I got home I cooked the shells put them in a large bowl covered the shells with the...

I can't decide if I should make a purse or apron from this skirt. It will be pretty either way. What do you think?

Will you be a purse or a apron. It takes me a while to decide. I have to wait to see what the article of clothing says to me. Will I get put away for saying that clothes talk to me? LOL Well today I decided to have my facebook friends help me out and most all of the them said the skirt would make a perfect Apron. Fortunately I was able to make both a purse and apron. Let me know what you think!

Okay I think I might have got the size down now I'm not sure the colors in this purse will work with my wardrobe. Decisions, decisions! LOL I think it's cute but I'll have to see if it works for me.

I feel like Goldilocks. This purse is too big and the one before this too small. I hope the next one will be just right. I wish I had a before picture of the dress I used to make this purse. So so cute! The top half will become an apron. Check back to see more!
