Nervous

I know it has been a month since my last post. First I must say that I FORGOT to take a picture of the China doll we made for my daughters project. Second with the holidays and the kids home from school it was hard to get anything done. I spent so much time at the doctors office over the winter break the doctor should have had a reserved parking for me, lol. Well everyone is healthy again and back in school. My first project of the year was a calendar of my children and grandchildren which took me one afternoon and the following morning to do. I used Simply Charmed cartridge for the embellishments and print creations software which came with my Kodak printer. Well today I have butterflies, since I will be taking my fitness test for police trainee, if I pass I will get to to to the academy which will start in June. If not I will have one more opportunity mid January. Wish me luck. Having trouble uploading the pictures I took of my calendar but I will get them up soon.
Bye for now,

Sandy

Leche de Alpiste (canary seed milk)

            It sounds odd and probably unappealing, but it is actually great tasting. You can make your own or buy it already prepared powdered to which you just add to water. Its cheaper like most things to make it yourself and you know what is going into it, bonus. This "milk" contains protein, fiber and antioxidants and amino acids. All of these things are great for your body especially when working out. Alpiste offers as much as 10g of protein per serving , which is about 1/2 cup. Another benefit is this enzymatic drink helps control cholesterol and lower high blood pressure. The amazing milk can also detoxify your organs such as your liver and kidneys.

You can buy the seed in some supermarkets, that cater to the Hispanic population. You can also buy the seed or powder in health stores th

Almost that Time of the Year! When the yarn Comes out...

Image
    I have been waiting all summer for the right time to start playing with my yarn. Last fall/winter and part of the spring I was a pretty busy bee on my Ultimate Sweater Machine. If you don't know what it is , it is a home hobby knitting machine. It is easy to assemble and does not need electricity, you put in the muscle. I make some great beanies on it. I can honestly say I have mastered the striped beanie pattern in the book and was comfortable enough to make my own alterations to the pattern. Here are some of the things I was able to do on this machine. These are just a few of what I did on the machine. If you would like a tutorial on how I make them please let me know in the comments. Thanks again and have a great evening. Sandy
