The Kielbasa Boys...

John plays cards with a group every Thursday night.

Lucky me, I have a quiet night to putter around, watch Scandal and How to Get Away With Murder, and eat buttery popcorn!

Every now and then his card group has a pot luck and he and his partner have been dubbed 

"The Keilbasa Boys"!

The reason?  He always has me make this quick snack:

SWEET 'N SOUR KIELBASA

I simply slice up and fry 3 pkgs of Polish Kielbasa....

....toss it with 2 jars of sweet and sour sauce and keep it on warm in the crock pot!

He brings the crock pot to cards (and even remembers to bring it back home!)

 It's even good to serve as a side dish for brunch!

Shopping in Skaneateles….

Just in case your husband wants to tag along as you browse through the gift shops in Skaneateles, They offer a great service at the local pub:

Without HIM...

Today I am joining Shanty 2 Chic for "I Made It Without My Hubby".


This chair was purchased at a flea market for $15.00. It was scratched, wobbly and had no seat. I really liked the detail on the back and legs, so I took it home. I glued it to tighten up the joints, primed and painted it white, washed it with a watered down tan paint and then painted the detail. I cut out the seat with my scroll saw, padded and covered it and screwed it on.

The same fabric was used to make this cornice in my dining room. This is simple to create and maybe one day I will write a tutorial !
So, those are a few things I have created without my hubby! Stop over at Shanty 2 Chic to see what other woman have created without help!
