Dish Clothes

I bought a stack of dish clothes awhile ago. I decided to put bias tape on them because I didn't want the edges to fall apart. When I used the one I had put bias tape on a few months back, it just didn't seem to pick up water to well. So I decided to add terry cloth to the others. Maybe by the time I am finished with the last one I'll sew a more straight seam. I think I will make my own bias tape though so I have more to work with. Search {One Pretty Thing} to learn how to make bias tape. I might use mesh produce bags on a cloth or two. {Video}

Fried Potato Salad

I cooked up some fried pota- toes with onions one day and decided to add salad dressing. Than I went and looked up on- line to see if there was such a thing. There was. Only I skip boiling the potatoes. I just fry cubed potatoes with chopped onion and add the fixings and dressing of choice. Here it has celery and the eggs and cilantro are for show. I think you could add eggs if you want. What ever you like in your potato salad. Quote: What I say is that, if a fellow really likes potatoes, he must be a pretty decent sort of fellow. ~Alan Alexander Milne (Creator of Winnie-the-Pooh, 1882-1956)
