Maybe I should share what I'm making!

What am I making for the contest? Like you've been telling me in comments and email, I'm not exactly sure. When I wrote about the contest, I was pretty committed to trying homemade noodles. I was thinking of making lasagna noodles. Lasagna is one of my favorites, so I thought that would motivate me.

But I confess, after telling you I don't sew (haven't since grade school!) , I'm considering some sewing projects. There has been a lot of talk about aprons around the blogs I read. I could use an apron, and that doesn't look that hard to do!

I also saw this cute project at Home is Where the Kids Are. Lydia also tends to get too tall for her pants and she has a cute pair of bibs that I think would work well. Could I do that?

Phelan had several ideas, and put them to her readers for a vote. She got some good feedback. Looks like it is going to be homemade cheese, and she may even raffle it off. You might want to get in on that. I know I do!

What are some ideas you are kicking around? Are you looking for ideas? I'd be happy to help if I can. Let's all help and encourage each other to try something new.

I am still trying to figure out what to make, too. I have made a lot of things without patterns or recipes. I'm pretty brave when it comes to that, so I have a hard time thinking of something I've never made from scratch before. I like the idea of making something and giving it away! That sounds like fun!

I was thinking earlier today of some suggestions I could give. I just started looking through my cupboards. What is in there that I could make from scratch? Noodles, soups, spaghetti sauce, crackers, tortilla chips, salad dressings, mayo. Of course I've made some of these before, I am just saying how I came up with some ideas.

I found this site for vintage recipes. http://www.vintagerecipes.net/
I bet we could all find some things there.

Keep us posted on your thoughts!

it does look like I'll be making cheese.

I can't sew, my readers know I can't sew, so I left that out on purpose. Maybe next time I will include sewing.

I am planning on participating but I am keeping what I am doing under wraps for the moment. I'll let you know.
