The Sewing Mom

I really need to go to the local quilt shop to purchase a few supplies. I have to try to stay away though because I can’t walk in without ending up buying yards and yards of beautiful fabrics. I truly believe that I have a fabric addiction.

I really have to limit how frequently I go to the quilt shop, I try to go no more than once a month. I haven’t been yet in May, I think I’m doing quite well. I may try to go on Monday and I hope I won’t need credit card debt relief when I’m done. Perhaps, rather than credit counseling, I need fabric counseling! I wonder if the quilt shop accepts debt settlement?

I’m kidding of course. I use the money I make from selling my sewing creations and writing paid posts to buy more fabric. I make sure to always pay cash so I don’t have a panic attack when I get a bill in the mail.

For those that choose to pay by credit, my advice is, don’t let it get out of control. If you need help, get qualified help. Now I must return to my sewing projects.

It’s my favorite day of the week, Friday! Today is even better because it’s leading into a three day weekend and I’m hoping to get some flowers planted, although, I do wish it would rain, I’ll have to turn my sprinklers on if it doesn’t!

This is really my favorite meme, put on by Fun Crafts and Recipes and if you’d like to participate, head on over there and give Valmg a shout out.

This weeks questions are:

#1. What’s your favorite white beverage? If you don’t have one, what’s your favorite beverage with something white in it? I’m definitely going to say White Zinfandel wine. If I can’t have that then I’ll go with Sprite or Sierra Mist.

#2. What’s your favorite white gravy, sauce, condiment, dressing or topping? I have to say I almost always go with ranch dressing on my salads, but my favorite gravy is cream gravy, like the kind that goes over chicken fried steak!

#3. What’s your favorite white item from the refrigerated section? In the refrigerated section, I am always stocking up on International Delight French Vanilla coffee creamer. I prefer the no-fat version, but it’s getting harder to find, so I do sometimes get the sugar free version. I almost can’t drink coffee without it. My husband has been know to bring it along when we take extended road trips.

#4. Share a recipe for something white. This is the recipe for Chicken and sour cream enchiladas.

2 c. chopped cooked chicken
1 c. thick & chunky salsa
1 c. sour cream
1 1/2 c. shredded colby & monterey jack cheese
1 tsp. ground cumin
2 T. cilantro (I don’t like this, so I leave it out)
10 flour tortillas
1 c. shredded lettuce
1 chopped tomato

Mix chicken, sour cream, 1 c. of cheese, 1/4 c. salsa, cilantro and cumin until well blended.
Spoon about 1/4 c. of the chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla, roll up. Place, seam sides down, in a 13×9 inch baking dish. Top with memaining 3/4 cup salsa, cover.
Bake 30 minutes in a 350 preheated oven. Sprinkle with 1/2 c. cheese. Bake an additional 5 minutes to melt cheese.
Top with lettuce and tomato just before serving.
