How to Painted Wooden Cabinets, My Tricks
Here is my post about my NEW Laundry room Closet. And here are my painting tips
Trick ONE, I go to Michael's and get the better brush, NOT the cheap ones from Lowes.
White NYLON Brushes, about $4.00 for package.
They wash great and no hairs come out like the other ones !
Trick TWO is a BROWN paper sack, paper is the finest sand paper you can get. BUT, it must be a BROWN sack.
The only one I had in the house was from a little quilt shop in McKinney, TX, Stitched with Love, their site. Cut the sack open and I like to fold it in and use just as sand paper, it makes the paint and wood soft !
This is the "AFTER" I love it.

Tortilla Soup Recipe with Chicken Added
Well, here I go again, the pounds are coming back on?? I love it here in Florida, Husband's home and so many things to do, BUT, I LOVE to go out to eat TOO !
SO here I go again !
This is based on Weight Watchers 0 Point Tortilla Soup. But, I need meat in mine, I need the protein to keep me going a bit longer.
3 chicken breast, in a pot with about 6 cups of water.
Cook until the chicken is done, remove skin/bones.
you can do this in the crock pot too.
you can do this in the crock pot too.
I safe all the broth and use as chicken stock
Pull chicken out and shred.
1 cup Chopped Onions Chopped
2 Garlic Cloves
3 Green Onions Chopped
3-4 stalks of Celery Chopped
1/2 a Green Pepper
1/3 Cup Fresh Cilantro
Spray pan with spray oil.
Cook in soup pan, make everything tender 10-15 minutes
4 cups Chicken Broth - I use no salt added
Pour Chicken broth through a strainer and back into pot.(if homemade)
Add Shredded Chicken
Add the rest of the ingredients to the broth
2 - 12oz cans of Diced Tomatoes
1/2 cup Salsa, we like hot, use what you like
1 can Whole Corn - Or fresh off the cob ( 2 cobs)
1/2 teaspoon Cumin
1/2 teaspoon Chili Powder
1/2 teaspoon basil
Simmer and let cook down.
Serve with Sour Cream (I use Greek yogurt)
And taco chips
Suggestions
- When you have leftovers after the holidays or party, make this soup, you can add anything to it and it's wonderful.
- Try adding fresh spinach, cut up add in about 5 minutes before serving.
- You can use any meat, shred turkey, shred roast beef or pork, if you use another meat or don't want to do your own chicken stock, use 4 cups of Chicken Broth
- This is a make it your own soup.
- We eat this year round, mostly I think because it's a great solo-lunch for me.
- It's very good without meat, it will be a 0 Point meal with no meat.

Simple Quilt with HUGE Impact - Two Blocks Sewn in Rows
A simple pieced quilt, there are 2 blocks used and put into rows, one block is a large triangle block, the other is 4 patch squares and solids. Take a moment and break a quilt down into manageable sections. For this one, make the blocks, sew the rows, sew rows together, you have a quilt top !
This is a quilt that I made long ago, our oldest son's, I think? It has been on our guest room bed for years. I think I took it before he left....
I love the simple pattern, I machine pieced and it was long arm quilted.
I had fun with the back for the quilt too, The sun was so bright the day I took pictures that you can almost see through the quilt.

Make Picking Fabric Colors for a Quilt Quick
I'm a bit overwhelmed with all the attention this post received and I'm pleased to show you it really works !
This is one of the quilt rows,
choosing fabrics this way !
This may seem a bit strange, but I love the colors in this dress and it's how I picked the colors for my quilt Pattern Book

Can you see it?
The purples, the pink/red sleeve, the green top
And a White added for the white Chair !

| The Quilt Ladies Store |
The only color that just didn't work for me was the black belt and I couldn't find anything I liked, so I just left it off.
(Note: when piecing the blocks the dark green took the place of the black)
If you'd LIKE the pattern - HERE it is
Here's a look at one of the 16 blocks !
It worked !
