While I was working the other night, Larry decided that my fabric basket was a comfy place to take a nap. I can't really blame her, it did still have some fabric and patterns in it so I imagine it was softer than the floor.

Aprons, Aprons, Aprons!
Some may know that I have been working on some reproduction vintage aprons and trying to make a business out of it. Well, I gave myself the deadline of having aprons available for sale through Etsy, by February 16th. Now that this deadline has been made public I have to make it happen.

Chili
Yummy!A few weeks ago I made homemade chili. This is a recipe taken from a chili that Jon's mom makes, but I have made a few changes along the way. There is no actual written recipe just a list of ingredients that I combine to make this delightful dish.
* Kidney Beans
* Chili Beans
* Chili Mix (the hot kind)
* Diced Tomatoes (I prefer the kind with jalapenos in them)
* Stewed Tomatoes
* Tomato Paste
* Tomato Sauce
* Ketchup
* Brown Sugar (This cuts the acidity created by the tomatoes)
* Morning Star Crumbles (This is a vegetarian substitute for 1 lb browned ground beef)
* Cheese
* Sour Cream
I then combine all of these ingredients together, except the cheese and sour cream, in my crockpot. I can then let it simmmer for a couple of hours. We think it's great to serve with breadsticks.
Jon's Birthday
The 11th was Jon's Birthday. As I posted earlier I wasn't able to post any pictures until now due to laptop/camera malfunction. However, Jon was nice enough to download my pictures for me and give me a cd of them.. so here they are!
For Jon's birthday there was no cake, instead I made him homemade butterscotch pudding. The whole time I was making it I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out because I hadn't done it before. I don't think I have ever tasted butterscotch pudding before so I was nervous about that too. In the end though Jon said it turned out good.

Modern Inconveniences
Friday was Jon's birthday and I was all excited to post pictures from that and other various things I have done in the past couple of days, but when I went to download the pictures from my camera, my laptop would not recognize my camera.
I have already had the problem where my USB ports on my laptop stopped working, so I went and got a cardbus which slides into one of the ports on the laptop to remedy the earlier USB issue. However, it's that cardbus that is no longer working. I might just have to break down and buy another laptop, since the USB issue is not repairable.

A wrinkle in time
As some may know another one of my favorite places on the internet is the Utah Historical Site. I could and have spent countless hours searching through their photo databases looking at pictures of our city through out the decades.
For as long as I can remember I have thought it would be cool to buy the Murray Theater, restore it to it's original flare and show old movies. Over the past couple of years the building has been vacant but saying that the "super theater" is coming. To my sadness that day has come and the murray theater has been turned into a dance club.
I guess I will just have to hold on to my memories of the summer dollar movies that included popcorn, drink and a treat at a theater that was a wrinkle in time.

Toe tapping beats
I couldn't help but fall in love with the idea of music playing while reading someone else's blog (Kim's). So.. when she posted the link. I stole the idea. :)
Granted my playlist is a work in progress, but I hope it will be enjoyed.

Headbands
My cousin Kim and I were talking about making headbands the other day and one of the newer trends we have seen about make them out of thigh high nylons or childrens tights.
However, I recalled that I had read a blog about another way to make headbands. I did a little searching and I found that blog. Which shows an ingenious way of using a hairband to provide a little stretch. That blog can be found here, on Your Heart Out. If you love to support the local SLC businesses - you should definitely check this blog out.
