Stuff I've been working on...

I've been working of some project! I rearranged my "studio"! I'm much happier and the flow of creativity is flowing!! Today I got a swap ready to ship, I started making a Roasted Tomato Chutney. I serve it like a salsa with chips but you can use it with any type of meat, pasta. I'm preparing for a party so I'll share the recipe later...

I was also working on a layout for a Feb. Challenge over at the Memory Works Studio, I should have read the directions before I started. I missed a few thing! Oh, well I'll share it with you. It was the first time that I actually have sewn on a layout with my sewing machine. I haven't sewn on paper since I was learning to sew on an industrial sewing machine when I was in school at FIDM. I did enjoy it! So we will see what else I come up with since I did take out the machine and dusted it off! I also used a new program Make the Cut for my Cricut. I cut the word Cousins in the Goudy Stout font from my computer and I printed my journaling with the same font. I really like the way it can out. If this is something that you might look into you can visit Lisa's Blog . You can also purchase it through her. She has some great ideas there too.

Here is a close up of the hearts. I used Distress Crackle Paint: Rock Candy, I crinkled the heart before sewing it to the page then I distressed it with Distress Crackle paint;Rock Candy and Colorbox chalk ink: dark brown

Sorry for teasing you but I will be post the recipe for the Tomato Chutney Recipe later so check back. I think you are going to love it!!
Well everyone that eats it does...

Thanks for Taking a Peek!
