Come Over and Play!

Wouldn't you love to live in this little neighborhood?

They were made by, (from the left) Jill, Barb, Susan Mcd and Susan H.  Don't they make a charming little group in the garden?  I can just imagine little garden gnomes visiting between them.

Here they are in construction:

Susan McD - she chose halloweeny colors.

this one is mine - I had some pennies from a previous project so we added them as windows on the backs or sides.  On my first attempt, I sewed the top windows in the wrong place making them under the door - doh!

Here is Susan H's

the directions were horrible, and in my kit, I was short changed on the necessary wool to complete my house :(   I hate when that happens.  But as Tim would say; we made it work!

Speaking of Tim - isn't this year great on Project Runway?  Finally some interesting personalities and some surprise wins.  And Wretchen seems to have come down a peg or two -

Lunch!

Here is the process to building a better Ruben sandwich:

Start with Pepperidge Farm pumpernickel and rye swirl bread, add Swiss cheese, drained sauerkraut and 1000 island dressing.

Add good, lean corned beef -

Grill until toasted and the cheese melted -

I served them with these frozen sweet potato fries.  They are healthy and good!

This would make a good quick dinner after a busy day too - enjoy!
