Aloha!
Awww, y'all made me ^.^ blush with your comments from the two, FO Friday posts. Mahalo nui loa. I take great pride in my cooking skills and love to entertain when our place is clean. Oh boy speaking of food, I should show you what I made yesterday!
Are you ready?
Doesn't this look good? Hell yeah! These recipes are the following: 1. Eat Nourishing's Bacon & Spinach Oven Omelette and 2. Marin Mama Cook's Roasted Fingerling Potatoes with Salt, Rosemary, and Thyme. The husband <3ed it all! And I need to confess, I did forget to put in the milk in the omelette - O.O oopsies!
On the note of forgetting...would you believe I forgot last year that on December 27th was my two year blogiversary?! I can't believe I forgot about that - (smacks forehead) doh!
Yup, Barbie is hot here in the States. The Princesses have all the DVDs and they got into the dolls and accessories after our last visit to Novato. I had 10 Barbies growing up and tons of clothes and shoes, even that dream house. Unfortunately, they're all gone. I find the storylines of the DVDs to be empowering for young girls today. Barbie is always a strong female who makes brave decisions and who thinks for herself.
Okie...onto...
At knitting group Monday, I picked up Through the Woods Cocoon out of hibernation and went to work on the first placket. When I came to the button hole row, I thought I had my original modification figured out, but I got confused and finally realized it wasn't going to work. After three tries at diagramming it out, I came to a solution I was comfortable with.
Yesterday, I finished up the right side placket and moved onto the leftside one. After 20 minutes in Eucalan, this snood is now blocking:
Isn't it beautiful?
And you know I love to take them eye-level shots:
If you're wondering what's under the hood, I placed a 5 qrt mixing bowl there so the hood part will block right.
After this is dry, the pretty, wooden buttons need to be sewn on.
Next would be its photo shoot. Hey Shar, ya down to stroll about Golden Gate Park?

I wish I had things to block...but it's still early. And I wish I had a better place to take FO photos. Well, I do have places but I need either a photographer or a model. ::sigh:: Little Man just doesn't cut it with my socks.
ReplyDeleteWell done on the blocking its looking great.
ReplyDeleteHooray for blocking items! I do like that yarn, so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI am adding your recipe links to my menu list, my husband
loves bacon and spinach so this is a perfect meal for me
to fix for him, thank you for sharing.
You outdid yourself in both foods...yum smiles to the omelette...and the snood. At first glance, I could not figure out the snood...ambitious and you will look great in it!
ReplyDeleteYour snood is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYour meal looks yummy! My husband would go crazy for the omelette.
That omelette looks delicious, it is making my tummy rumble right now!
ReplyDeleteYour snood is looking wonderful, would love to see what it is like worn :)
I was wondering what happened to that project! It is going to look so pretty on you!! I'm definitely bookmarking both of those recipes, especially since they are both vegetarian and have your stamp of approval, yum!
ReplyDeleteAhhhhh.... mixing bowl. I was absolutely wondering what your secret was! Great idea. Hope to see this project model in a post soon; I bet it looks amazing. Also, HAPPY (BELATED) BLOGIVERSARY!
ReplyDeleteHi Kepanie (love your name btw)! I'm so glad you loved the fingerling potatoes. They are better than fries, don't you think? I even made a bigger batch for the Holidays and threw them on a pre-heated rimmed baking sheet and they got super crispy! Thanks for the shout out and for stopping by the blog and letting me know how they turned out for you! xoxo, Jackie
ReplyDeleteLooks great just blocking. Can't wait to see it being being worn!
ReplyDeleteVery nice snood. The omelette looks divine. I am late stopping by as usual. Been a bit busy down here. Thanks for making me hungry. LOL Hugs xoxox
ReplyDeleteThis looks so cool with the bowl inside!! I love the colour - looking forward to a shot of it being worn :)
ReplyDeleteWow that omelet looks fantastic! I know I've been missing from the blogging world for a few weeks, but scrolling down everything looks really great! All of your food looks so delicious. :)
ReplyDeleteLooks great already ... I'm hoping we'll see a finished object Friday post at Golden Gate park!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful snood! The bowl is a great idea to get it to block right :)
ReplyDeleteYou're always a inspiration for everyone who reads your blog, Stefanie!
ReplyDeleteThe omelette looks so tasty and beautiful... You did a great job with both projects! Love the pics too!
Your dinner looks delish! I have not used those little fingerlings yet--they are becoming more easily found in our stores up here more recently but I tend to use Yukon Golds for my roasted potatoes---yummy and buttery little bites! What a lovely snood and well done for dragging it out of hibernation and figuring out a workable pattern.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend~~~
*smiles*
Those potatoes look delicious. Good idea to block the hood with a bowl inside!
