So what inspires you? Do you see a piece of fabric and know instantly what it should become or do you have the pattern first and then look for the perect fabric?


Our week of the $21 Challenge turned into 2 weeks as I just have not had the time to get to the supermarket. I called a holt to it last night when I decided that I really must go and buy some food and to quote the girls who have complained about the lack of treats, some "real" food. This is how my fridge looked before the shopping expedition - Not too much left at all. It really is worth doing as you need to use your imagination a little more. One evening we even had a packet pasta side dish and an instant potato dish - Both of which were not too bad but were sitting in the pantry and needed to be used.
Peel and slice as many potatoes as you need and parboil them.
Line a baking tray with baking paper
Place the parboiled potatoes on top and sprinkle with Onion & Garlic Flakes with a little cracked pepper. Dice a little ham or bacon and sprinkle over. Pour over around 1/3 cup of thickened cream and sprinkle with shredded cheese. bake in the oven for around 1/2 hour.
You can used fresh onion in any of my recipes that I give you but there is one little cherub in my house who says she does not like onion. (That is of course if she can see it) I use onion flakes so that I still get the flavour. It must do the trick because she eats them all without any complaints - LOL.
Have a great weekend - I will be back very soon - I promise :) Don't forget about the Ugly Swap which closes on Sunday night.
HUGS,

Im inspired by many things and it depends on what I see first...the pattern or the fabric...usually it means another trip the the quilt shop (even if the fabric is the inspiration)...some like shoes....mine is fabric!!!!

Lovely inspirational pictures Fiona - i used to have a phobia for buttons (how bizarre) but since I started quilting I love them (how bizarre)!!! I love trims too but only wish I had as many as you. Can't wait to see the projects your making.
Inspired me to do some thrifty cooking too!!!
Love all the pics Fiona. I really enjoy buttons, trims and ribbons...all of it. They add so much!
