Lined (reversible?) Apron WITH tutorial! Tons of pictures, and easy to follow… (just break out your rulers, because this IS in centimeters rather than inches!)
Ack! Crafty Tuesday!

…and me without a thing to show for it. Well, I have been creating, but it has been of the digital, playing-with-photoshop, pretending-to-be-a-web-designer kind. My desk has a rather nice crack from my head being smashed into it numerous times, and I had to ice my wrist down the other night – but that is more due to 17 years doing hair than my skills as a digital guru(ha!).
I have a list of to-do’s that is growing all the time, but it’s a good kind of busy-the kind that keeps you from sitting on your tush watching the boob tube, or standing in front of the fridge wondering what you can sneak while the kids are napping…THAT kind of busy.
Saturday begins another season or 2…it’s apple season (the beginning of anyway) in our local mountain village, and DH has been asked by a long-time family friend to help out again this year. Yay for apple pies every weekend! It’s also the beginning of football season, which means a Notre Dame flag will fly from our door every weekend from now til Thanksgiving weekend (and maybe for a bowl game as well…ugh!). I really don’t mind all the football “stuff”- When the armchair coaching gets to be too much, I have the ideal reason to go shopping, call my friend Sunshine if she’s not actually AT the game, go to the library, thrifting, etc…But I also like it because I get to try out new appetizer recipes each week-win/win all around!
I’m dying here…

I don’t think they make them any more creative than Kim at Olive Juice & Co…
This Apron that Kim made for the launch of Joel Dewberry’s new fabric line has swoon-worthy written all over it…
Who would have ever thought of a corset back apron? Only Kim…
This Apron is only available thru this Ebay Auction, which closes next week…This is just one of many gorgeous items (not all aprons tho-poo!) featured in the Indelible Boutique on Ebay-but this one is definitely the favorite here at Apronista.

This is a recipe I posted in February, and I thought I would repeat it again while I am working in my “studio” (read:spare room-lol)
This is one of my family’s favorite dishes~and my most asked-for recipe…

Mexican Chicken Casserole
Serves 4-6
Pre-heat oven to 350-f degrees.
In a mixing bowl, combine:
2 Cups Shredded Cooked Chicken
1 Cup Shredded Cheese ( I use a cheddar/jack combo)
1 can Cream of Chicken soup
1/2 Cup milk
1/2 Cup sour cream
1 can Ro-tel tomatoes (canned tomatoes with jalepenos-mild)
1/2 packet taco seasoning (or more- to taste)
In a greased 2 qt baking dish, put a layer of crushed doritos (about 2 cups), then a layer of the chicken mixture. Repeat once more, ending with a layer of chicken mixture. Top with more shredded cheese, cover, and bake for 30-35 minutes, till bubbling hot.
You can add other items to this, depending on your preferences, like olives, green chiles, onions, etc…The chicken mixture would also make a great enchilada or burrito filling!
Enjoy!

I found/bought some jeans and overalls for “foofing”… (embroidering, embellishing, decoupaging fabric to…)
And here are the fabrics for foofing up the jeans…
Aren’t they all pretty folded and stacked so nice? Seems a shame to cut them up…please tell me I am not alone in my empathy for fabric…lol
This post is for Crafty Tuesday – the creation of my new friend Jen…Go visit her here! Grab the adorable button she made!
