Smokin'

I made another pizza for our dinner tonight.  I don't know how to get the center of the crust crispy without the outside totally burning!  The outside gets nicely done!  The last time I made this I hadn't taken a picture before I added the cheese and some people couldn't tell what it was!  :D  With all the pepperoni, I think everyone can tell this time!  :D

Tim heard the sirens of the fire trucks and it sounded like they came into the church parking lot.  Upon inspection, he saw the field  of the neighbors on fire!  I ran in to get the camera and they already had the fire out by the time I got back.  It was a pretty big fire, too!  Tim asked the fire chief what the rules were about burning.  He was told that if you are burning a field like that you are supposed to get a permit.  The fire chief said normally they would have been lenient on the neighbor, but they could tell he had been burning several times.  So, he will probably end up with a fine.  I am thankful they worked quickly and got the fire out.  You see by the trees all around that it could have gotten nasty pretty quickly!

I had to re-make this pattern as Jessica wants me to make Araya a cute dress for St. Patrick's Day.  The pattern I have has a pinafore with a yoke in the front and back and the pinafore is very gathered.  She didn't want the gathers, so I took the yoke and pinned it to the dress to make it into one piece.  So this is essentially an A-line dress with ruffles on it.  I didn't have enough material for sleeves, so I am going to add bias binding to the sleeves and neck.  I made this as a sample so Jessica could try it on to see if it fits before I try to sew the real dress.  This is more material I got from the neighbor.

Have a blessed Lord's Day!
