I finally bought a tuner for the ukulele! I am very happy about my purchase because I was having to tune the uke using a YouTube tuning video about once a week, really annoying and time consuming and probably not very accurate. I've been trying to learn my first non-folk song, the ukelized version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow, though I think I'm several weeks away from a sharable video.
Only one finished project this week - a lunch box for J. I still can't sew straight, but it didn't really matter for this project.
Almost finished that sock I started last month, in fact I would have finished it at the time of this writing, had I not realized sooner that I went about an inch and a half past the point where I needed to do the toe decreases.
And the last bit of news, twice this week I made baked tortilla samosas.
The original idea for tortilla samosas came from a guest on a fun British cooking show called Hairy Bikers. I made these using a combination of these two recipes.
What a great lunchbox. Reminds me of a paper bag, only better, since you can just throw it in the washer instead of throwing it away! I'm going to go fabric stash diving to see what I might use to sew one up. Thanks for the inspiration! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks! That was exactly the intention - throwing it in the washer. Looking forward to seeing your lunchbox.
ReplyDeleteThe samosas look yummy!
ReplyDeleteI really like the fabric you've chosen for the lunchbox. Somewhere Over the Rainbow is such a great song (I play it, somewhat haltingly, on the piano). I'd love to hear a ukele version!
ReplyDeleteThanks @damiandaily, they were yummy!
ReplyDelete@inkberryblue The fabric is from a department store over here, and left over from another project (yay stash usage).
Tortilla samosas! Must try them out someday!
