. . . from the handiwork journal

 


. . . still working on the cardigan, and one sleeve is done.


. . . xl hot pad set in the making


. . .off the afghan hook - set of hot pads



. . .new project (like I need another, ha ha!) lanyards




. . .I found a bracelet that I didn't finish, so it's on the list again


(Couldn't get a photo because this project is buried in my mess of a closet)

. . .a scrap yarn rug in the making 


. . .a lapghan in the making.



. . .eco-friendly water balloons.  The grandkids will love theses, and so will their Mom with no mess.  Just toss in the washer if they get dirty.  Soak them in a bucket of water and toss.


. . .a thin crochet thread dishcloth on a hook.

I'm sure there are more on the hook, but I most likely won't get them all found until later this fall.  Garden season has taken over most of my time right now.

Pesto Eggs on Crusty Bread

 



I froze several cubes of pesto last summer, and needed to use some up.  I just "melted" it down in a skillet first.


I then cracked a couple of eggs over it.  There is already oil in the pesto.

Cover the pan for a bit, and then flip.  Top crusty bread.  Next time I will add a layer of cheese over the bread first.  Maybe ricotta or something to go with the pesto.
