When my days are grey this kind of pics can light up my day... (I apologize, I don't remember where I got tis picture from)
Det er ikke det at jeg ikke strikker om dagen, jeg strikker som en gal. Jeg er en av de gærningene som prøver å redusere på garnlageret mitt ... men blir oppgitt når det bare fylles opp på nytt. Så derfor må jeg strikke enda fortere og har enda mindre tid til blogging. Jeg gir dere en pausefisk så lenge. Jeg vet dessverre ikke hvor denne står. Kanskje du gjør det? Nå må jeg tilbake til pinnene ... :)

[thrive_leads id=’2591′] I have fallen head over heels in love with amigurumi! I am entirely self taught when it comes to crochet (with help from youtube and blogs, of course!) and my first amigurumi projects turned out… interesting. Big gaps, floppy, misshapen heads… Not to mention that I didn’t know where to get half the...

Start with 2 pounds lean ground beef and one package of beef kielbasa sausage Brown in a cast iton skillet (I use my Great Grandmother's pan) While the meat is browning, cut up two yellow onions,2 green peppers, 2 red peppers )grown in the USA preferably-unless you live in another fine country with good agriculture rules),5 cloves garlic cut fine, 5 ribs of celery (I like using the middle ones), Take cooked meat and put in large crock pot or large simmering pan, Put vegies in cast iron pan and saute, then add to meat along with the tomatoes -sometimes I add frozen corn though I didn't this time Add one can of mild chilies for flavor and as many jalapeno's as your family can take-I only used a tablespoon of them cut finely-we are wimps Add two cans (not the little one shown-bigger)of tomato sauce, two cans of Italian chopped tomatoes, and two cans of the petite cut tomatoes Vegies, don't they look pretty? And do they ever add flavor Ok, I add alot of stuff for flavor- I usually add about 2 teaspoons of each except the pepper. I only shake out a nice amount and with the beau monde I can usually use more-I just cook like my Grandma and add until it tastes good=then add 3 beef bouillion cubes and 2 cups of hot water-we don't drink here at the house but if I had leftover red wine, a little would go in also Worchestershire sauce is delicious in every kind of stew or chili-a must! And a good healthy pour of about 3 tablespoons or so of honey-it makes a huge difference! I also threw in a bit of tabasco but kept it light for my family. I like what it does to chili-read on and see what my husband said. After all of this is stirred up, then add these beans and a package of chili mix. It sounds like alot but it is well worth it! Now, when I dish up the chili, I serve it with crushed tortilla chips, olives cut up, sour cream (low fat), sharp cheddar cheese and cut up avacado. You can put the leftovers on baked potatoes and it is like a whole other meal and you can share with your friends, neighbors or family. I am taking half of this to Montana to share with my Aunt and my cousin along with cornbread and maybe cider. Bon Appetite!My husband said to tell you it was delicious but he liked the sour cream because it cut the heat-if you love heat then add some tabasco to your own dish of chili VEGETARIAN? I make a good soup style chili without meat that is delicious and just right if you don't eat meat. I don't eat much of it and my daughter works for an organic healthfood store. I make it like this and instead of meat, I add cut up red potatoes, a small head of cabbage shredded and cut up carrots. I happen to love turnips in there as well but not everyone loves turnips. It is just as good and fits the bill if beef isn't your thing. :0) Winning Fabric- if you did not read my posting about God's amazing design, please do and if you comment you will be in the drawing for fabric-I am choosing 6 names out of a hat or someone here is.......we do this very fair.
Franklin Habit, I will have you know, ladies and gentleman, that my life–the life of the professional knitter–is not the yarn-addled conga line of joy you perhaps envision.

Fill your bobbins evenly with a beautifully made lacquered sliding hook flyer designed to fit the Ashford Joy Spinning Wheel. This modern flyer will even fit older Joys but it will not fit in the frame when folding older Joy Spinning Wheels. This sliding hook flyer kit includes 1 standard lacquered bobbin, a nylon brake band, 2 tension springs with 1 closed cup hook, and a replacement top shaft in case your new flyer does not thread easily or fully into the current top shaft (for older joy wheels). Graphite fiberglass arms make this flyer light and strong. Plus, the new and improved sliding hook flyer bobbins hold up to 30% more yarn.To help celebrate our 75th Jubilee we have upgraded both the single & double treadle Joys to include a sliding hook flyer as standard with 3 x 90mm larger bobbins.Due to the larger bobbins, the treadle may not fold completely with these bobbins stored in previous models.

Materials: • 5.00mm Hook • 5-ply milk cotton yarn or any yarn of choice • Tape measure • Stitchmarkers Included in this pattern: • Video tutorial • Pictures I have always been wanting to make a modern Filipiñana top using crochet and finally I was able to do it! I would like to thank you for showing interest in this top and hopefully you’ll be able to incorporate the sleeves into other top designs. “Ligaya” in Filipino means joy, happiness, and delight. This top was named after my favorite character in the Filipino Broadway called: Ang Huling El Bimbo. Ligaya was a modern Filipina woman who emanated joy and happiness to everyone despite the struggles that she was facing. Ligaya showed how strong and brave Filipino women are. With that, I want to be able to empower other women with this modern Filipina look. Let’s show to everyone that wearing cultural clothes is still “in” and still very much fashionable. Thank you so much once again!
