Pincushion

I finally did this easy-but-so-useful craft. After weeks of procrastinating, that tuna can I washed out and saved was finally getting on my nerves. It seemed to mock me: "You acted like you were going to make me into something but really you just like collecting clutter." Ack! What was I to do but grab the offending can, plug in the glue gun and get to work. Here is the result, and here is a tutorial telling you what to do, because I didn't have a charged camera while I was making it. They put a ring of hot glue on the inside rim of the can before cramming the batting and fabric in there too! I guess great and lazy crafty minds think alike : ) A tout a l'heure, mes amis!

Scrap ribbon saved me from measuring and cutting more fabric...or having to sand and paint the can.

The pretty fabric is from my latest stash of scraps. Thanks to my thoughtful mother, the original crafter!

Weekend Brekkie: Cheesy Tomato Egg Casserole

I wanted to  make something different from what breakfast normally is around here. After making it, though, I've searched for terms to describe it and it turns out that what I was doing very slightly resembled a type of Tomato Strata. The strata recipes are really delicious sounding. I'm going to have to try one next time! But for now, here's my 'new' eggy breakfast:

Place 2 Tbs butter into baking dish and place in oven. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Meanwhile, add 5 eggs and 2 Tbs milk into a bowl and beat well. Pour into melted butter in heated baking dish.

Sprinkle 1 cup cheese all over and add 1 tomato, cut into thick long slices. Place back in oven for 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, stir it all up and replace in oven for 5 minutes. Stir and replace for 5 minutes. Repeat until eggs are cooked to your liking. This is how it looked after the first 10 minutes, mostly cooked on the edges, but still raw in the center.

Very hot! Let cool for 5-10 minutes and then serve. It was pretty tasty and very easy, which is always a plus when it comes to a hot breakfast for us : ).

Happy Weekend : )
