Vintage Jewelry

I love vintage jewelry.  Especially the micro mosaic that are made in Italy.  They are so fascinating to me.  Today was about listing retro clothing and vintage jewelry on eBay.

Here is the listing for this ring:

They inspire me.

I am still waiting on my fiber to test for the crochet patterns.  I should have requested priority mail, not first class, that's ok though, because in the meantime, I have thought of some new patterns.

Sometimes it works out that way for a reason.  I don't' question it, I just try to go with the flow and take it for what it is.

I started the Medallion pattern today as well.  I can't wait to show you what I have created with this.

I guess what I am really trying to say, is I will be overloading you with new patterns all at once.

That's ok, right?

We have chicken leg quarters on sale for .99 a pound right now.  In case you don't know that is the leg and thigh together of a chicken.  I love them like that, because I can either marinate them, or spice them up and they are perfect for the grill.

I am trying out a new Cole slaw recipe called, Mike's Cole slaw.  What goes better with chicken then mashed potatoes and Cole slaw?

Enough rambling for today.

If I don't receive my yarn tomorrow, I will need to share another snowflake pattern with you.  That would be cool, don't you think?

Enjoy your evening or day, where ever you may be,

Debra

Slow Cooker Applesauce

Crocheting bottle cap pumpkins inspired me to make some applesauce.

Here is how I make applesauce:

7 medium apples (any type you like, I used Gala this time around)
1/4 cup of water
Slow Cooker (low setting)

You will want to core, slice and peel the apples.  I use an apple corer from Pampered Chef , and it so wonderful. All I need to do is peel the skin off of each slice and cut the slices into thirds and put in your slow cooker.

After you have completed all the apples, add 1/4 cup of water and pour over the apples.

Set your slow cooker to low.

Stir on occasion to break up the apples.

Cook  for about 6 hours.

When completed, I place in covered jars.  I use them for other projects, which I will share in the future.

Meantime, I can crochet lots of little Halloween themed, bottle cap trinkets while making applesauce.

Does my house smell good or what?
