While I was making tasty agave leaves gabe was making whole wheat pizza dough. We got the recipe from Everyday Food which was a gift from Jim and Kathy and had a great January issue! (thanks Jim and Kathy!) It made 8 individual size pizza crusts which we layered in between wax paper and will freeze. Very handy for a quick yummy homemade fresh pizza! We'll let you know how they are, we haven't made this recipe before.
I got the sewing itch this morning and decided that I wanted to make something with my new sewing machine i got for Christmas from Gabe but hadn't used yet. I decided to make these thrifty pants from a t-shirt. After a number of good hearted attempts and making some seams and the sewing machine kept jamming up (the second project I attempted and it did the same thing the first time) Gabe decided we need to get a different sewing machine. So we gracefully took that one back and got a lovely green singer.
Sadly I was having some problems a bit further into my project and spent a good hour trying to figure out what was wrong. I was frustrated and gabe came through once again like the prince he is to solve my thread tension problemos. Hooray! I finished my pants, with few blunders. Well kinda - i still have some resolving to do with a small hole that somehow appeared...
Okay i can't seem to get the pictures to upload so i'll have to do try again tomorrow. i need sleep
Pizza dough - we made our pizzas tonight - it is SO yummy!
These are the agave leaves for my little kiddos snack this week. They sorta look like them...
My new beauty, i'm having fun!
From the too big to wear T-shirt to my new lounge/yoga pants!

i love the pants. nice work. were they easy? like "amy could make them" easy?
they actually aren't that difficult. The hardest part is the waist band which you cannot see but resulted in a hole in the side of one of my legs. i'll try them again defnitely and let you know how they go
oh this story made me laugh aloud as high school memories filled my head....
