Picture time!

I will learn to knit. I will learn to knit. I will learn to knit.

Since my poor poor lovely sewing machine is out of order and I have the need to try and make something and I have too much yarn for my own good, I figured I'd take another stab at this whole knitting thing. I tried before and it didn't turn out so well and then I discovered looms. Those things are pretty easy but you're kind of limited on the things to make. And I just want to learn how to knit anyways. So far though....not going so good. I'll get like 10 rows going and then it all goes wrong and I pull it all apart. It would probably work out better if I got someone that knew what they were doing to show me what the junk I'm not doing right. But oh the joys of being broke and not knowing anyone that really knits.

I miss having a sewing machine! About one week and I will have my mother's working one to use!!!! Yay. Can not wait! I have so many ideas of things I want to make. And I had this cute little sewing area finally set up in the basement but no machine to do anything with.

And this blog will be used more.

PIZZA!!

So for dinner last night I made pizza!

I just used Pillsbury pizza crust. 

  

Ragu pizza sauce

For toppings: cheese, spinach, mini turkey pepperoni, sliced salami, sliced turkey, sliced ham and little bit of broccoli chopped up kind of small.

Baked at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes. The time just depends on what you put on it.

All done! I must say it was rather delicious. It's almost all gone already. Ha. 

The start of it all.

So I'm pretty much going to be blogging it up about the things that I cook/bake/make. I made this goal recently that I'm going to try and cook at least one new thing a week. I'll be keeping track of it in here. I also plan on tracking all the things I make with on my sewing machine as soon as it gets fixed. I might also comment on stuff that I'm reading. And pictures of my cats will definitely appear. That's just a given. : )
