We went into a couple toy stores and Lego land. The boys were in lego heaven. They spent about 45 minutes putting together lego dudes. They each got to pick something small as a special treat. Jude got a little lego guy and Henry picked a lego ice tray. I was shocked that he picked an ice tray when he could have picked a toy. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Well, we have been having so much fun with that tray. I had the idea to make chocolates, so we did. They came out so cute. Next time I think we'll do different color chocolate. We also made a bunch of ice for the boys to use in their drinks. I am planning on making crayons out of broken crayons. I believe you can put the tray in the oven. I'll just have to check first. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Bdbe4shJKyQ/TsPDtOTTt5I/AAAAAAAAGe0/p6NMV3aU49c/s1600/IMG_8734.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Bdbe4shJKyQ/TsPDtOTTt5I/AAAAAAAAGe0/p6NMV3aU49c/s400/IMG_8734.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5675595137117566866" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VrC4PEMzLow/TsPDsG10B6I/AAAAAAAAGes/vwTYxOCQOFg/s1600/IMG_8737.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VrC4PEMzLow/TsPDsG10B6I/AAAAAAAAGes/vwTYxOCQOFg/s400/IMG_8737.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5675595117934938018" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QxKh_MOLswg/TsPDsKZ6AeI/AAAAAAAAGec/mo7OW1V46c0/s1600/IMG_8736.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QxKh_MOLswg/TsPDsKZ6AeI/AAAAAAAAGec/mo7OW1V46c0/s400/IMG_8736.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5675595118891631074" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4412516875126721465-4986125347402120431?l=taitx3-sweetandsalty.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://taitx3-sweetandsalty.blogspot.com/feeds/4986125347402120431/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://taitx3-sweetandsalty.blogspot.com/2011/11/lego-land.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4412516875126721465/posts/default/4986125347402120431'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4412516875126721465/posts/default/4986125347402120431'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://taitx3-sweetandsalty.blogspot.com/2011/11/lego-land.html' title='Lego land'/><author><name>TAITx3</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02002642511469097912</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ew-5HPU3QJ8/Tg0pUQ1deNI/AAAAAAAAGN8/rJUsTbt6Txo/s220/IMG_7054.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0658vjlc5RU/TsP_C2kx39I/AAAAAAAAGf8/sOJJcHoc0po/s72-c/mail-2.jpeg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4412516875126721465.post-3093749391153611072</id><published>2011-11-05T13:19:00.006-04:00</published><updated>2011-11-16T13:22:37.765-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='trash to treasure'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='thrifting'/><title type='text'>Other peoples trash is someone else's treasure</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;I absolutely love thrift stores. It's a good way to save money. I am going to start a biweekly post about thrifting and such. I will call it "Trash to Treasure" I will post about things that I get at yard sales, thrift stores, or even the side of the road. I love the idea of repurposing or restyling items that I find. I am currently making some clothes for Charlotte out of my old clothes or clothes that don't fit Charlotte anymore. I also have a couple pieces of furniture that I got that I will be working on as well.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Here are just a couple things that I got recently at the thrift store.

It's actually been fun searching for healthy recipes via the web and planning my meals throughout the week. I have allowed myself a cheat meal every saturday night so I can still enjoy those not so healthy comfort meals. &lt;div&gt;I got &lt;a href="http://pearls-handcuffs-happyhour.blogspot.com/2010/11/five-starsand-then-some.html"&gt;this&lt;/a&gt; recipe from my friend&lt;a href="http://www.bbgoad.com/"&gt; Beth&lt;/a&gt; via &lt;a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/366432525/"&gt;pinterest&lt;/a&gt;. It was so stinking delicious. It was definitely worth the yummy calories that went with it. Jason loved it too!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4412516875126721465-8892511049544005459?l=taitx3-sweetandsalty.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://taitx3-sweetandsalty.blogspot.com/feeds/8892511049544005459/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://taitx3-sweetandsalty.blogspot.com/2011/10/chicken-enchilada-pasta.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4412516875126721465/posts/default/8892511049544005459'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4412516875126721465/posts/default/8892511049544005459'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://taitx3-sweetandsalty.blogspot.com/2011/10/chicken-enchilada-pasta.html' title='Chicken Enchilada Pasta'/><author><name>TAITx3</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02002642511469097912</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ew-5HPU3QJ8/Tg0pUQ1deNI/AAAAAAAAGN8/rJUsTbt6Txo/s220/IMG_7054.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-s_1qso414Qc/TqV3JkLvXmI/AAAAAAAAGW0/Z5Zb8P9o0RY/s72-c/IMG_8506.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4412516875126721465.post-7523946913722764324</id><published>2011-10-24T10:27:00.005-04:00</published><updated>2011-10-24T11:06:49.501-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dinner'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='healthy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='chicken'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='recipes'/><title type='text'>Friday Night Dinner</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qK1trx_rK7U/TqV2ODhdOnI/AAAAAAAAGWs/s7LxThGlHSs/s1600/IMG_8503.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qK1trx_rK7U/TqV2ODhdOnI/AAAAAAAAGWs/s7LxThGlHSs/s400/IMG_8503.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5667065689951517298" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Barbeque chicken caramelized red onions with scallion skillet flatbread.&lt;div&gt;I made&lt;a href="http://www.wholeliving.com/recipe/skillet-flatbread"&gt; this&lt;/a&gt; flatbread recipe from Whole Living.

I didn't have some of the ingredients so I used what I had and it came out awesome. I'm thinking that my recipe might have even been better than the inspiration recipe.&lt;div&gt;Instead of the Almond milk I used a can of lite coconut milk. I added a 1/4 cup of almonds to a food processor and 2 tablespoons of shredded coconut along with the coconut milk and blitzed away. I used boneless skinless chicken breast instead of thighs cut into chunks and sauted the chicken along with the onions added the milk mixture and the rest of the ingredients that is in the inspiration recipe. I didn't have slivered almonds but I had whole ones that I broke up and sprinkled on top. I served it over rice. It looks like a big pile of poop but it was yummy!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jVi1RVdsUwk/TqAYxsqamDI/AAAAAAAAGTk/yXqPUBSpJ8I/s1600/IMG_8467.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jVi1RVdsUwk/TqAYxsqamDI/AAAAAAAAGTk/yXqPUBSpJ8I/s400/IMG_8467.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5665555573313804338" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4412516875126721465-6719269155726387296?l=taitx3-sweetandsalty.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://taitx3-sweetandsalty.blogspot.com/feeds/6719269155726387296/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://taitx3-sweetandsalty.blogspot.com/2011/10/almond-coconut-curry-chicken.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4412516875126721465/posts/default/6719269155726387296'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4412516875126721465/posts/default/6719269155726387296'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://taitx3-sweetandsalty.blogspot.com/2011/10/almond-coconut-curry-chicken.html' title='Almond Coconut Curry Chicken'/><author><name>TAITx3</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02002642511469097912</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ew-5HPU3QJ8/Tg0pUQ1deNI/AAAAAAAAGN8/rJUsTbt6Txo/s220/IMG_7054.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jVi1RVdsUwk/TqAYxsqamDI/AAAAAAAAGTk/yXqPUBSpJ8I/s72-c/IMG_8467.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4412516875126721465.post-4386455982698705046</id><published>2011-10-19T09:00:00.008-04:00</published><updated>2011-10-25T12:40:10.747-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sewing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pork'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='recipes'/><title type='text'>I'm Back!!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;Yup, It's been way too long.

We had a small shower for her last night at my small group meeting. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I've been practicing many recipes for cakes that I am making for a wedding in May. This one is definitely a keeper. I made white chocolate butter cream frosting for the layers and a swiss butter cream for the outside of the cake. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I am making 5 different flavor cakes for the wedding. We are making a "dessert" bar instead of a traditional 4-5 tiered wedding cake. I am excited about this project that I have ahead of me.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Up next will be the Lemon cake. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9u1acUsTNko/TW6IrBbJbuI/AAAAAAAAGGA/7UZk6Nzknvk/s1600/IMG_5681.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

You can't tell by the picture, but the needle holder has to pages of fabric to store the needles in. It's kind of like a book. I also made her a holder for her crochet hooks. &lt;br /&gt;I really like the needle holder... I'm thinking of making a bunch of them and selling them at a craft fair.

So, I bought some grapefruits, rosemary, and some sparkling water to make this luscious concoction.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;First, I &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;squeezed&lt;/span&gt; about 6 grapefruits, strained into a canister, then I took a whole pack of rosemary and pounded the steams with the back of my carving knife to release the aromas. Then added the rosemary to the grapefruit. I then put the juice in &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;refrigerator&lt;/span&gt; to let steep for a couple hours. In the meantime, I made a quick simple syrup using a 1/4 a cup of pure cane sugar and a 1/4 cup of water, bring to a boil until the sugar &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;dissolves&lt;/span&gt;, let cool then add to grapefruit juice. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Finally I filled a glass with ice and poured half the glass with the sparkling water then the rest with the tasty juice. It definitely quenched my craving.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/S03nS11fVjI/AAAAAAAAEa0/630-iOVMUQ0/s1600-h/IMG_0189.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 270px; height: 360px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/S03nS11fVjI/AAAAAAAAEa0/630-iOVMUQ0/s400/IMG_0189.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426247436926408242" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/S03nStGf-NI/AAAAAAAAEas/nUpXvJknCtw/s1600-h/IMG_0182.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 360px; height: 270px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/S03nStGf-NI/AAAAAAAAEas/nUpXvJknCtw/s400/IMG_0182.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426247434581833938" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/S03nShY9t6I/AAAAAAAAEak/GxqPVlqBOus/s1600-h/IMG_0183.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 270px; height: 360px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/S03nShY9t6I/AAAAAAAAEak/GxqPVlqBOus/s400/IMG_0183.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426247431438055330" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/S03nSQt5LHI/AAAAAAAAEac/0dzRI_m0DF8/s1600-h/IMG_0187.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 270px; height: 360px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/S03nSQt5LHI/AAAAAAAAEac/0dzRI_m0DF8/s400/IMG_0187.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426247426962435186" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/S03nSP6DSGI/AAAAAAAAEaU/m_QxE5oARQs/s1600-h/IMG_0190.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 270px; height: 360px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/S03nSP6DSGI/AAAAAAAAEaU/m_QxE5oARQs/s400/IMG_0190.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426247426744993890" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4412516875126721465-6028420538122531856?l=taitx3-sweetandsalty.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://taitx3-sweetandsalty.blogspot.com/feeds/6028420538122531856/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://taitx3-sweetandsalty.blogspot.com/2010/01/grapefruit-goodness.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4412516875126721465/posts/default/6028420538122531856'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4412516875126721465/posts/default/6028420538122531856'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://taitx3-sweetandsalty.blogspot.com/2010/01/grapefruit-goodness.html' title='Grapefruit Goodness'/><author><name>TAITx3</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02002642511469097912</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ew-5HPU3QJ8/Tg0pUQ1deNI/AAAAAAAAGN8/rJUsTbt6Txo/s220/IMG_7054.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/S03nS11fVjI/AAAAAAAAEa0/630-iOVMUQ0/s72-c/IMG_0189.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4412516875126721465.post-1032964664649519867</id><published>2010-01-13T09:57:00.006-05:00</published><updated>2011-10-19T11:58:33.239-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='molten lava cake'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Baking'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Paula Deen'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dessert'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='chocolate'/><title type='text'>Molten Lava Cake</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;Last night I made my brother a molten lava cake for his birthday. It was so darn good.&lt;div&gt;I got the recipe from Paula &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Deen&lt;/span&gt; from the Food Network. The only changes I made was I added Starbucks chocolate liquor instead of the orange liquor and I used a 4 oz ramekin. I cooked the little cakes for about 7 minutes instead of the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;recommended&lt;/span&gt; 12 minutes. If you are a chocolate lover, I highly suggest you make this recipe.

I'm going to make more for Jason's Christmas party at work and Christmas Eve.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In the recipe it calls to sprinkle cinnamon sugar when done baking, I did that but also made a sugar glaze that really made them perfect. I think the next time I am going to add lots of lemon to the glaze so it has a lemony flavor. Yeah, good idea.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I advise everyone to try this recipe!!!!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/SyfElT89iuI/AAAAAAAAEUk/LL4xBQGwRnk/s1600-h/IMG_4718.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/SyfElT89iuI/AAAAAAAAEUk/LL4xBQGwRnk/s320/IMG_4718.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5415513222226479842" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4412516875126721465-3390302670326284794?l=taitx3-sweetandsalty.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://taitx3-sweetandsalty.blogspot.com/feeds/3390302670326284794/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://taitx3-sweetandsalty.blogspot.com/2009/12/french-muffins.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4412516875126721465/posts/default/3390302670326284794'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4412516875126721465/posts/default/3390302670326284794'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://taitx3-sweetandsalty.blogspot.com/2009/12/french-muffins.html' title='Mini French Breakfast Muffins'/><author><name>TAITx3</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02002642511469097912</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ew-5HPU3QJ8/Tg0pUQ1deNI/AAAAAAAAGN8/rJUsTbt6Txo/s220/IMG_7054.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/SyfElT89iuI/AAAAAAAAEUk/LL4xBQGwRnk/s72-c/IMG_4718.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4412516875126721465.post-6691002441235042124</id><published>2009-12-11T13:36:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2011-10-19T13:06:34.067-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sewing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Crafty'/><title type='text'>Been Busy</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;I know it's been almost a month since I've last posted something.

Here is a sneak peak of some gifts i made some sweet girls.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/SyKRSVSKMgI/AAAAAAAAETM/lSLh_Vb2P8k/s1600-h/IMG_4645.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/SyKRSVSKMgI/AAAAAAAAETM/lSLh_Vb2P8k/s320/IMG_4645.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414049446189740546" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4412516875126721465-6691002441235042124?l=taitx3-sweetandsalty.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://taitx3-sweetandsalty.blogspot.com/feeds/6691002441235042124/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://taitx3-sweetandsalty.blogspot.com/2009/12/been-busy.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4412516875126721465/posts/default/6691002441235042124'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4412516875126721465/posts/default/6691002441235042124'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://taitx3-sweetandsalty.blogspot.com/2009/12/been-busy.html' title='Been Busy'/><author><name>TAITx3</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02002642511469097912</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ew-5HPU3QJ8/Tg0pUQ1deNI/AAAAAAAAGN8/rJUsTbt6Txo/s220/IMG_7054.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/SyKRSVSKMgI/AAAAAAAAETM/lSLh_Vb2P8k/s72-c/IMG_4645.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4412516875126721465.post-6400300175251479201</id><published>2009-11-13T20:54:00.015-05:00</published><updated>2011-10-19T11:59:18.903-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='girlsclothes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sewing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='girl skirt tutorial'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='skirt'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Create'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tutorial'/><title type='text'>The Girly Twirly Skirt Tutorial</title><content type='html'>I finally got the guts to post my first tutorial. &lt;br /&gt;The skirt that I made is for size 3T. If you need any measurements for other sizes you can email me, along with any questions and I will try to help you out as much as I can. I apologize ahead of time for the long tutorial. I am visual type of girl and hope you are too! Good luck.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/Sv4PulErHcI/AAAAAAAAEQ0/rThi3lv26CA/s1600-h/IMG_4438.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/Sv4PulErHcI/AAAAAAAAEQ0/rThi3lv26CA/s320/IMG_4438.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403773895791287746" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.  Choose your fabric. I chose two heavy cotton fabrics that compliment each other.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/Sv4Po3TCqjI/AAAAAAAAEQs/IVKfN7Re4_E/s1600-h/IMG_4439.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/Sv4Po3TCqjI/AAAAAAAAEQs/IVKfN7Re4_E/s320/IMG_4439.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403773797604174386" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. For the main part of the skirt cut 2 on fold.  21 1/4" wide x 9" high.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/Sv4Po3CgRnI/AAAAAAAAEQk/QxpvAI0ylzM/s1600-h/IMG_4440.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/Sv4Po3CgRnI/AAAAAAAAEQk/QxpvAI0ylzM/s320/IMG_4440.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403773797534811762" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. For the drop waistband cut 1 on fold.  12 1/2" wide x 5 1/2" high.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/Sv4PoqoGM6I/AAAAAAAAEQc/yAqM5PPV8WQ/s1600-h/IMG_4441.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/Sv4PoqoGM6I/AAAAAAAAEQc/yAqM5PPV8WQ/s320/IMG_4441.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403773794202825634" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4.

With right sides together, sew both sides of your drop waist band together at the edges. Then finish raw edges. I used pinking shears. You can use zigzag stitch or a serger.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/Sv4PYgE5MQI/AAAAAAAAEP8/zOzVJr1MX8w/s1600-h/IMG_4455.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/Sv4PYgE5MQI/AAAAAAAAEP8/zOzVJr1MX8w/s320/IMG_4455.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403773516492910850" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. With right sides together sew both strips of the main skirt together at the edges. Finish raw edge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/Sv4PYFPHmvI/AAAAAAAAEPs/aSN3U9_5fIs/s1600-h/IMG_4464.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/Sv4PYFPHmvI/AAAAAAAAEPs/aSN3U9_5fIs/s320/IMG_4464.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403773509288041202" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. With right sides together sew both strips of the hem band together at the edges. Finish raw edge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/Sv4PX1VVcUI/AAAAAAAAEPk/cni1vCXi6E4/s1600-h/IMG_4465.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/Sv4PX1VVcUI/AAAAAAAAEPk/cni1vCXi6E4/s320/IMG_4465.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403773505019146562" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. Fold the strip in half all the way around and press it down with an iron to make a firm crease. You should have a large circle when done. (see next photo)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/Sv4PGLy4m5I/AAAAAAAAEPc/Mf9sBHFzTnQ/s1600-h/IMG_4466.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/Sv4PGLy4m5I/AAAAAAAAEPc/Mf9sBHFzTnQ/s320/IMG_4466.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403773201811020690" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. It should look like this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/Sv4PF1MysfI/AAAAAAAAEPU/AuDW8QhwpbI/s1600-h/IMG_4468.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/Sv4PF1MysfI/AAAAAAAAEPU/AuDW8QhwpbI/s320/IMG_4468.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403773195745669618" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. This is what all pieces should look like at this point. You should have 3 all together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/Sv4PFzpFA9I/AAAAAAAAEPM/si0R9gtYI7U/s1600-h/IMG_4469.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/Sv4PFzpFA9I/AAAAAAAAEPM/si0R9gtYI7U/s320/IMG_4469.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403773195327439826" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11. With right sides together take the hem band and line up the side seams with the side seams of the main skirt and pin all around.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/Sv4PFtZrIaI/AAAAAAAAEPE/wSmT5UIISH8/s1600-h/IMG_4470.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/Sv4PFtZrIaI/AAAAAAAAEPE/wSmT5UIISH8/s320/IMG_4470.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403773193652216226" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12. Sew the hem band and main skirt together and finish raw edges.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/Sv4PFT0GcOI/AAAAAAAAEO8/Y3MJ4lBH3l4/s1600-h/IMG_4471.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/Sv4PFT0GcOI/AAAAAAAAEO8/Y3MJ4lBH3l4/s320/IMG_4471.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403773186783736034" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;13. Turn the skirt over and press the seam with an iron.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/Sv4OxkIrmeI/AAAAAAAAEO0/qo614hhKzp4/s1600-h/IMG_4474.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/Sv4OxkIrmeI/AAAAAAAAEO0/qo614hhKzp4/s320/IMG_4474.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403772847567641058" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;14. Gather the top of main skirt with a gathering or basting stitch. I set my basting stitch on 1. When you start your basting stitch I do a couple of back stitches to secure the thread so it doesn't pull out when you gather it and do not back stitch when your done. Make sure you have enough thread to pull on to gather the fabric. ( I think this is the hardest part)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/Sv4Oxc8odvI/AAAAAAAAEOs/PrXg9qkFzuE/s1600-h/IMG_4477.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/Sv4Oxc8odvI/AAAAAAAAEOs/PrXg9qkFzuE/s320/IMG_4477.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403772845638055666" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;15. Your gathered skirt should look like this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/Sv4OxVeLnbI/AAAAAAAAEOk/A3Fx2um0Jl0/s1600-h/IMG_4481.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/Sv4OxVeLnbI/AAAAAAAAEOk/A3Fx2um0Jl0/s320/IMG_4481.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403772843631287730" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;16. With the right sides together pin the gathered part of the main skirt to the drop waist band. Make sure the seam of the waist bad in centered in the back with the 2 side seams  are even on each side of the main skirt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/Sv4OxA6UzcI/AAAAAAAAEOc/A9QA3imgyrU/s1600-h/IMG_4484.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/Sv4OxA6UzcI/AAAAAAAAEOc/A9QA3imgyrU/s320/IMG_4484.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403772838112185794" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;17. Sew the pieces together with the gathered side up. Finish raw edges.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/Sv4Ow_2096I/AAAAAAAAEOU/yoRbN8CqSzE/s1600-h/IMG_4485.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/Sv4Ow_2096I/AAAAAAAAEOU/yoRbN8CqSzE/s320/IMG_4485.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403772837829080994" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;18. This is what it should look like at this point.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/Sv4Ofri4fkI/AAAAAAAAEOM/TecyNVMDTk4/s1600-h/IMG_4486.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/Sv4Ofri4fkI/AAAAAAAAEOM/TecyNVMDTk4/s320/IMG_4486.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403772540318940738" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;19. Fold the top of the waist band over about an inch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/Sv4Ofd-MNVI/AAAAAAAAEOE/x9hjvI7A8Z4/s1600-h/IMG_4489.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/Sv4Ofd-MNVI/AAAAAAAAEOE/x9hjvI7A8Z4/s320/IMG_4489.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403772536675382610" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;20. Pin all the way around the band leaving an opening for the elastic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/Sv4OfAVIZsI/AAAAAAAAEN8/kW5l8uPQZac/s1600-h/IMG_4490.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/Sv4OfAVIZsI/AAAAAAAAEN8/kW5l8uPQZac/s320/IMG_4490.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403772528718538434" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;21. Sew all the way around the band making sure you leave the opening for the elastic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/Sv4OewWMkmI/AAAAAAAAEN0/kQ4cT5roP0Y/s1600-h/IMG_4492.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/Sv4OewWMkmI/AAAAAAAAEN0/kQ4cT5roP0Y/s320/IMG_4492.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403772524428038754" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;22. I sew again around so I have two rows of stitching. I do that so it stays secure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/Sv4Oe7q087I/AAAAAAAAENs/un1JJO2Xt70/s1600-h/IMG_4493.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/Sv4Oe7q087I/AAAAAAAAENs/un1JJO2Xt70/s320/IMG_4493.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403772527467361202" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;23. You may want to measure the waist of the child and cut the elastic an inch smaller than their waist. For the size 3t that I am making, the average waist measures about 19-20 inches.&lt;br /&gt;24. Insert a large safety pin into one end of the elastic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/Sv4OKIecoHI/AAAAAAAAENk/Rmmxj_PMoLY/s1600-h/IMG_4494.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/Sv4OKIecoHI/AAAAAAAAENk/Rmmxj_PMoLY/s320/IMG_4494.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403772170127843442" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;25.

This soup is a must try. It is soooooo darn good. I served it with fresh french bread.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ingredients&lt;br /&gt;1 2-1/4 to 2-1/2 lb. deli-roasted chicken, skinned, boned, and coarsely shredded&lt;br /&gt;2 Tbsp. butter&lt;br /&gt;1/2 cup coarsely chopped celery&lt;br /&gt;1/2 cup chopped onion&lt;br /&gt;2 14-oz. cans reduced-sodium chicken broth&lt;br /&gt;1-1/2 cups milk&lt;br /&gt;1 tsp. bottled hot pepper sauce&lt;br /&gt;1-1/2 cups mozzarella cheese (6 oz.)&lt;br /&gt;1-1/4 cups crumbled blue cheese (5 oz.)&lt;br /&gt;1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese (2 oz.)&lt;br /&gt;1/3 cup all-purpose flour&lt;br /&gt;Bottled hot pepper sauce (optional)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Directions&lt;br /&gt;1. In 4-quart Dutch oven melt butter over medium heat. Add celery and onion; cook and stir until onion is tender. Stir in broth, milk, and the 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce. (I blended all the ingredients together to make it smooth)&lt;br /&gt;2. In bowl toss together mozzarella, 1 cup of the blue cheese, Parmesan, and flour. Add gradually to soup, stirring after each addition just until melted. Stir in three-fourths of the shredded chicken; heat through. Top with remaining chicken, blue cheese, and hot sauce. Makes 6 servings.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4412516875126721465-2590561666617039190?l=taitx3-sweetandsalty.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://taitx3-sweetandsalty.blogspot.com/feeds/2590561666617039190/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://taitx3-sweetandsalty.blogspot.com/2009/11/buffalo-chicken-soup.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4412516875126721465/posts/default/2590561666617039190'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4412516875126721465/posts/default/2590561666617039190'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://taitx3-sweetandsalty.blogspot.com/2009/11/buffalo-chicken-soup.html' title='Buffalo Chicken Soup'/><author><name>TAITx3</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02002642511469097912</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ew-5HPU3QJ8/Tg0pUQ1deNI/AAAAAAAAGN8/rJUsTbt6Txo/s220/IMG_7054.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/Svl9qkcEB0I/AAAAAAAAEMM/tHH76P1DXKc/s72-c/IMG_4419.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4412516875126721465.post-2639517560523944782</id><published>2009-10-30T14:16:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2009-10-30T14:34:30.806-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bakerella'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cheesecake pops'/><title type='text'>Cheesecake Pops</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;The other day I made the &lt;a href="http://www.bakerella.com/cheesecake-pops/"&gt;cheesecake&lt;/a&gt; pops to take for my MOPS and small group. They were so delicious. I wish I had the time to make them pretty with different sprinkles and such.  They were a pain in the butt to make because I didn't have the time for the cheesecake to set overnight after I baked the cake. I should have just spent the $10 and bought one. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It was so hard to make the cake into a ball and stay on a stick so I could dip it in the chocolate.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I think the next time I make them it will be easier. First time is always a learning experience. They are weird looking but darn good.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I also made cake pops that I threw out because they tasted disgusting.

I got the idea from my sister-in-law Cassandra last year when she emailed me an advent calender from Pottery Barn Kids for Christmas. I looked on the Pottery Barn website to get an idea for the Halloween one and it was over $50! I thought to myself "I could make one of these for much less".  I went to the fabric store and bought all the felt I needed to make the calender. I started to cut out the squares and brainstormed how I would make the calender. I was so excited.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FF6600;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;A day later I took a trip to "The Christmas Tree Shops" and found an almost identical calender like the one at Pottery Barn for $5.00!!! So I bought it. I figure I would save a lot of time and aggravation.  Now I have lots of time to start my Christmas calender! &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/StCnscos5II/AAAAAAAAEFk/eBpt8IlWZls/s1600-h/IMG_4098.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/StCnscos5II/AAAAAAAAEFk/eBpt8IlWZls/s320/IMG_4098.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390993136005473410" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/StCnscos5II/AAAAAAAAEFk/eBpt8IlWZls/s1600-h/IMG_4098.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The $5.oo Christmas Tree Shop Calender&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/StCnrsh5N1I/AAAAAAAAEFU/Sb0ag8aPORQ/s1600-h/halloween.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/StCnrsh5N1I/AAAAAAAAEFU/Sb0ag8aPORQ/s320/halloween.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390993123092019026" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The $50+ Calender&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/StCnsHMvcBI/AAAAAAAAEFc/2lnUsZ9wBnE/s1600-h/IMG_4091.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/StCnsHMvcBI/AAAAAAAAEFc/2lnUsZ9wBnE/s320/IMG_4091.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390993130251055122" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/StCnsHMvcBI/AAAAAAAAEFc/2lnUsZ9wBnE/s1600-h/IMG_4091.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;All the felt that I bought.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4412516875126721465-9057858564518973571?l=taitx3-sweetandsalty.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://taitx3-sweetandsalty.blogspot.com/feeds/9057858564518973571/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://taitx3-sweetandsalty.blogspot.com/2009/10/countdown-to-halloween.html#comment-form' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4412516875126721465/posts/default/9057858564518973571'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4412516875126721465/posts/default/9057858564518973571'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://taitx3-sweetandsalty.blogspot.com/2009/10/countdown-to-halloween.html' title='Countdown to Halloween'/><author><name>TAITx3</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02002642511469097912</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ew-5HPU3QJ8/Tg0pUQ1deNI/AAAAAAAAGN8/rJUsTbt6Txo/s220/IMG_7054.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/StCnscos5II/AAAAAAAAEFk/eBpt8IlWZls/s72-c/IMG_4098.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4412516875126721465.post-7067229468600130181</id><published>2009-10-05T20:53:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2009-10-15T10:27:45.051-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='girlsclothes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sewing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='skirt'/><title type='text'>The Girly Skirt</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Back in high school, I took a class for four years called Fashion &amp;amp; Designing. I absolutely loved it. Each year I got better and better at sewing. My senior year of high school (my final project) I had to design and make prom dresses, and then we had to put together a fashion show for the whole school to showcase our work. I wish I had photos of the dresses I made. They were beautiful. I donated them to a couple girls that couldn't afford dresses. It was so much fun. I thought about going to FIT (Fashion Institute of Technology) in NYC, but, went to cosmetology school instead.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Lately, I decided that I wanted to start sewing clothes again using patterns. I haven't done that in about 15 years.  So I did. It was refreshing. I made these outfits for some of my friends and families little girls for their birthday. I got the skirt pattern from &lt;a href="http://www.pinkfig.typepad.com"&gt;Pink Fig&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;The pattern is called the Girly Skirt. The tops were bought at a store and I cut out the the letter out in material and used no sew adhesive to attach the letter or number onto the shirt.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;I can't wait to start more cute projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/SsqVaTess_I/AAAAAAAAEDk/mxu0djFiY9c/s1600-h/IMG_3767.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/SsqVaTess_I/AAAAAAAAEDk/mxu0djFiY9c/s320/IMG_3767.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389284183240389618" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/SsqVZ-P5FPI/AAAAAAAAEDc/O3xkDDdV2kA/s1600-h/IMG_3768.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/SsqVZ-P5FPI/AAAAAAAAEDc/O3xkDDdV2kA/s320/IMG_3768.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389284177541141746" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/SsqVZo9074I/AAAAAAAAEDU/BvrqBZr5n0Q/s1600-h/IMG_3659.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/SsqVZo9074I/AAAAAAAAEDU/BvrqBZr5n0Q/s320/IMG_3659.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389284171828227970" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/SsqVZB0MUmI/AAAAAAAAEDM/JdPU7FnHUEw/s1600-h/photo.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/SsqVZB0MUmI/AAAAAAAAEDM/JdPU7FnHUEw/s320/photo.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389284161318834786" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/SsqVY6XlFrI/AAAAAAAAEDE/n3r1_8dxNJM/s1600-h/photo.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/SsqVY6XlFrI/AAAAAAAAEDE/n3r1_8dxNJM/s320/photo.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389284159319774898" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/SsqboSADZGI/AAAAAAAAEDs/HZVhmHNDIsg/s1600-h/photo.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/SsqboSADZGI/AAAAAAAAEDs/HZVhmHNDIsg/s320/photo.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389291020431352930" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4412516875126721465-7067229468600130181?l=taitx3-sweetandsalty.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://taitx3-sweetandsalty.blogspot.com/feeds/7067229468600130181/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://taitx3-sweetandsalty.blogspot.com/2009/10/girly-skirt.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4412516875126721465/posts/default/7067229468600130181'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4412516875126721465/posts/default/7067229468600130181'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://taitx3-sweetandsalty.blogspot.com/2009/10/girly-skirt.html' title='The Girly Skirt'/><author><name>TAITx3</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02002642511469097912</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ew-5HPU3QJ8/Tg0pUQ1deNI/AAAAAAAAGN8/rJUsTbt6Txo/s220/IMG_7054.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_444Et4E1vj0/SsqVaTess_I/AAAAAAAAEDk/mxu0djFiY9c/s72-c/IMG_3767.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry></feed>
