Think Pink

I have found a blog that has quite a few Think Pink designs for Breast Cancer. I have always liked her funky designs, but I always appreciate a designer that is willing to design freebies for a cause. You can find her here at Kincavel Krosses .

Stockings for Soldiers

I was just reading a sewing blog that I enjoy and she had a link to Stockings for Soldiers. I have a very special place in my heart for the men and women of our country that are willing to protect us through service in the military.  My dad served in the Navy, a BIL served in the Army, one sister served in the Army, as did her two sons. My son is currently in the Navy and is serving his 4th deployment in the Middle East since 9/11.
If you can sew or have fabric that you can donate to someone who sews, I would ask you to see if this is a cause that you could contribute to. I plan on sewing stockings for them and hope that maybe you might too.

Thanks from a proud Navy daughter and Mom.

Soup's on!!

Tonight I made what has become my favorite soup. This is a recipe that I got from one of my co-workers. I absolutely love it and could have at least one serving a day.

  Sausage Corn Potato Chowder

Soup from Heather's mom. A family recipe--my favorite kind! Yields: 6 Servings 1 pound Ground breakfast sausage (I use Register's sausage; it is a type of smoked sausage that I can buy in Tallahassee) 3 Yukon gold potatoes, chopped 1 medium onion, chopped 1 can (16 oz) Corn (I usually use Birds Eye Steamfresh Asparagus Gold & White Corn, Baby Carrots) 1 can (12 oz) fat-free Evaporated milk 2 cups Water 1 t. Basil 1 t. Salt (I use very little salt) ½ t Ground black pepper

Brown sausage and remove from pan; saute the onion in the sausage drippings. Add all other ingredients; bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer 15 minutes or until the potatoes are soft. Notes: You can substitute chicken broth for the water . You can also use frozen corn, thawed, instead of the canned corn.  I was out of the frozen corn mixture that I usually use, so I added regular frozen corn and added chopped up red bell pepper. The vegetable part of the soup is pretty flexible to your taste.

save the ta-tas

About a year ago I saw a picture of the phrase "save the ta-tas" stitched in pink made into a pinkeep with a feathery trim. I have been trying to find the pattern ever since then. Does anyone have any ideas of the designer or who stitched it? I want to make it for a friend......
