A nice warm dinner

I'm obviously a craft nut, and have tons of things that I want to do, multiple things I've started, some which I have forgotten about. After finally giving in and reorganizing my yarns and fabrics, I found a scarf that I had made out of really soft, fuzzy yarn. However, it was a plain cream color...key word...was. I decided to add some really cute flowers on it. I got the idea for the pattern from the Pillow Trio with Flowers pattern on Lion Brand's website. I did 5 petals instead of 6 and I made the flowers all one color. I also place the flowers differently on either side to add interest.

My next project was dinner. Let me start out by saying, yes, I consider myself a vegetarian, although I do eat fish once in a blue moon and I don't particularly eating it that much because it was a living animal. I also eat it for the protein but will probably take it completely out of my diet, especially because it keeps grossing me out when I think about it.

Anyways, I found a recipe for flounder which turned out awesome! It was really quick to make. I made some rice, and threw together a salad. Dinner, done in 1/2 hour! Anyways, here's the link to the recipe: http://www.cooks.com/rec/doc/0,1817,144189-226194,00.html

Instead of using hot sauce, I used an 1/8 t. of hot pepper seasoning. I used more than 2 T. of lemon juice...I more or less doused it with lemon juice. I also substituted salad dressing instead of mayonnaise because I think it has better flavor.

Free pattern for Simple Tapered Leg Warmers

I've been recently frustrated with my crochet and needed an quick, easy pattern to get rid of some of my stash.  So I found a pair of leg warmers... Great!  Except my gauge was totally off because I almost always refuse to check it since it takes so much time and bothers me since i have to pull extra out of my skein....long story short....I ended up creating my own pattern.  Note: These are meant to be more fitted, and you may have to adjust the size. **This pattern is for personal use only, and it took me several hours to create.  Please do not sell this pattern or the final product.  Thanks! These leg warmers are a little tapered at the bottom because I wanted to make sure they didn't just come off or make their way under my heel.  The pattern is worked in rounds and my calves are about 14".  Ch 3 and Ch 2 count as a dc or hdc, EXCEPT for the last round. Yarn: WW- I used Red Heart Hooks: H & I Abbreviations: - st- stitch - ch- chain - dc- double crochet
