I wonder when we stopped hearing the term pocket book?
I remember hearing my Grandmother and Aunts say " let me get my pocket book" whenever there was an errand to run and money and/or other essentials might be needed.
Trying to take a nap this afternoon...hey, it's Saturday... anyway, couldn't doze off because this little red "pocket book" popped into my head and wouldn't go away!
Got up...sleep was never going to happen...went to my sewing room and came out with this!
A little red pocket book...
Made from one of the pockets of the "red coat"! No...this is not the purse that I plan to make from the coat...just a little something extra, a little whimsy and fun! The strap is made from part of a beaded necklace that came from the "junk house" as did the pin on the front. The body of the purse is one of the larger pockets. Just big enough for my keys,
cell, tissues, a lipstick and (maybe) a little cash!!
Naps are great...but a little red pocket book is FUN!
What do you eat when you're starving -or so you think- and the cupboard is bare?
I stood in front of my cupboard this morning wanting breakfast and finding nothing...not in the cabinet or the frig! I think it's seriously time for some grocery shopping but I'd rather take a beating than go to the grocery store...that's why I have Hubby Honey!
So...back to breakfast...
Found...whole wheat pasta, black beans, rotel tomatoes,
carrots, celery, purple onion, salt, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, olive oil and mayo!!
While the pasta cooked I drained the beans and rotel, cut up the veggies, and thought " I hope this is good because I'm STARVING!!"
Drain pasta, sprinkle with olive oil and season to taste with sea salt. Toss all together and add two Tlb. of mayo.
I wish we had a way for you to taste this...it is WONDERFUL...yummy yummy! Biggest problem now is not to eat all before Hubby Honey comes home for lunch.
Now I know some of you are thinking...she eats that for breakfast?? Ok, who decided it had to be bacon and eggs? I mean really...!!!
