Fall Salmon

Fresh salmon with wild rice, mushrooms (and garlic), and green beans. Due to popular request the recipe for wild rice is as follows.

1/2 C. wild rice
3 C. water (and a little chicken soup.. I put it in everything)
a dash of flavor (salt, chicken bullion, whatever)
Cook wild rice for about 45 min until it looks like it is starting to split, then add
1/2 C. white rice
Cook until all liquid is absorbed. (20 min?)

Denver Hat

I knit this for D. He thinks it looks silly. I think it looks fun! Pattern.

We made a seasonal wreath. I was jealous of the neighbors' decorations.

AIO Pocket Diaper

I was overjoyed to find PUL fabric at JoAnns the other day, and decided to finish a project I started a while back. This is a All In One diaper with a pocket in the back if you need to add a doubler. Also, it can be turned inside out for much faster drying. This is a petal style soaker. Also, check out my snaps!! I had a fun time doing snaps for the first time.

Slip Covers for Pillows

I have a 14" pillow. So, I cut one 15"x15" pieces and two 10"X15" pieces. Tutorial can be found here. I added a ribbon for the middle instead of fringe. This is the fabric I am using to lengthen my curtains as well. I am calling the color evergreen.
