Sewing today . . .?

I've been trying to wend my way to the sewing machine for a week now but life, cleaning, and appointments have constantly veered me off track! Today, I'm hoping to get enough creativity going to get something done. I'm still sewing and crocheting to make a bit of extra cash to take care of my own, small needs as termites and leaky roofs have eaten into the budget! I just got some beautiful panel prints of Our Lady of Guadeloupe and should be able to think of something to do with that. I sold most of my tote bags over Christmas so might think about replenishing my stash today!

I've been watching a Food Network show called America's Worst Cook which has been frustrating but interesting. The frustrating part is these contestants can't seem to follow the most simple of directions. It seems to me that if I could absolutely not cook to save my life, I'd pay more attention to the cooking projects at hand. I love this one guy who tries to improvise away from the stated recipe when he doesn't know how to cook in the first place! However, the recipes proposed for the challenges are great and I was happy to discover they are being posted on the Food Network site. Hey, I know how to cook AND I can follow directions!
