Project Yellow
New Look Workroom Project Runway pattern
I have always wanted a yellow dress. This dress could be worn with black tights or accessorized with other colors, It is a neutral that could be a great base for accessories. The fabric was in my stash and is a polyester knit remnant that I found on a clearance section at my local fabric store.
It has an embossed tone on tone on the surface, I needed a pattern that would be simple in design that would complement the design of the fabric.
The pattern that I found is a New Look Workroom 6071 Project Runway . I have had great luck with New Look patterns in the past. The front has a v neck with a .overlay. The directions in the pattern guide inside the paper envelope are easy to follow.
sleeves were shortened to just above the elbow.
I then discovered that the v neck was too low, so I added a v insert, with a piece of antique lace from my stash pile. The cowl is crocheted from a magazine called Simple Knits. I'll be blogging about it later....Happy Sewing!

Knitted cowls
Knitted Cowl Neck Warmers
Its been a few years since this book has been published, I fell in love at first sight.and knew with certainly that I would be making more than two projects from this book. Last year I was not creative with color mixing. and I tended to make the same color as the models in the book. The graphic art layout show multi layering of colored and sequin t-shirts. The book is displayed in a casual fun and hip way.
I used a Lion brand pink wool ease for the pink wool cowl. The cowl sits nice on the frame, and is toasty warm.
The black and blue hat and cowl reminds me of the northern lights in Finland. It is a lion brand wool ease. The variegated green is also a Lion brand Home style yarn.

Fried Zucchini
Fried Zucchini
Recently my blood pressure took a hike upward. Whenever I have a health issue, I turn to my natural health alternative book, Better Health through Natural Healing by Dr. Ross Trattler N.D. with the assistance of Dr. Adrian Jones N.D. This book has been my lifesaver and go to manual for all health concerns.
My plan of attack is too eat more vegetarian meals, lose some weight, add more exercise in my day, and add vitamins. Adding an apple, drink grape juice, add more onions,less processed meats, and more vegetables into my diet. If I want to bring down my blood pressure, I must do things differently than what I have done in the past. For one thing, eliminating sugar and fat combination of food. So no ice cream, muffins, red meat, and white bread products. Then I'll be adding Vit. B complex, Vitamin C, Vitamin E..vitamins.
Here is a heart healthy dinner meal.

Knitted Dishcloths
Knitted Dishcloths
As a knitter, eventually everyone will add. their favorite pattern to a new cotton dishcloth. I like straight up knitting. Fast and easy. I have a collection, so I always have some on hand. They last for a very long time, and are heavier and more durable than store bought towel ones. The one below is called Company Dishcloth, with increasing and then decreasing, as it is knit from one corner to the other. A good book to try is:
Knitty Pretty Simple instructions for 30 fabulous projects by Kris Percival. This is one of my favorite knitting books, that I keep going back to over and over. These make great housewarming gifts in a basket with soap.
