Menu Monday

Here is my plan for the week... we got some help with food money so I am taking and planning some good homemade food for us. On to the list...

Thai noodles with shrimp and bean sprouts
Pizza
Country style Cube Steak
Chili
Chicken Curry
Taco Soup
beef roast with potato bread

We have hockey every day but Wednesday, so these meals are meant to be quick or slow cooked and we will be making the pizza Wednesday as that takes a little longer.

Christmas Makings...

I could not show some of these before Christmas due to them being presents, but I though I would share some of the gifts I made this year. I for got to take pictures of all of them.
I made these for some of my gifts this year. They had different names and saying of course. They were 8x10s and put into a thin bordered frame.
Here we have 12 pairs of pajama pants, 8 appliquéd t-shirts and a high-chair cover I made for my sister. The pajamas were given as gifts and the high-chair cover was for an old wooden high chair that was in need of some cushion. I later made the second high chair cover for her other high chair.

I also made fleece I spy bags, crayon rolls and make-up bags to give as other presents (those were the ones I forgot to get pictures of). They turned out great. I used a mixture of tutorials, I found on the web. Pick out what I liked about each one, added my take on it and came up with some great presents. I will defiantly be making more of them and hopefully remembering to take pictures. I also whipped up some cup cozies, but those were more of a distraction job for me then anything. They also turned out great after a few changes.
