How I did it: First I hunted through the youtube videos that I could find - and found that all of them went way to fast - except for bethintx1's video (see resources below). I watched her 6 videos that step by step teach how to create the granny square and I was in awe that I could actually create one. She assumes you know nothing - has a very easy-going tone - and you feel like you could be crocheting along side her.Once I got that granny square done … Read how I did it…
How I did it: I googled "lasagna recipe" and I found one that used a lot of ingredients (that I didn't want to have to use) but had great step by step pictures and instructions which I really liked. I looked at simpler recipes too and realized that all lasagna is - is a meat sauce, a ricotta mixture, melty cheeses, noodles and Italian spices.

Next week I’ll be:
-teaching someone to swim
-getting a cooking lesson
-participating in two craft “Knit-in” groups – where I’ll be crocheting
-Christmas Caroling with folks from my time bank
-doing a cookie exchange with folks from one of the craft groups.
-having lunch with folks who all at one time shared a work place with me.
This is a marked improvement and it is doing me good.
I had been dreading the 45 minute drive into town (I’ve gotten used to not having to drive very long distances).... and made it to the moulding company and selected some frame samples that I think will work for me and made an order for some frames that should arrive next week!
I’m happy with the finish I have going on my work and so it will be a matter of putting the painting sandwich together to arrive at my framed product – If I’m happy with it…. I’ll head into production!
Man it was good – I am really enjoying this cooking thing – at least when my friend from my time bank comes over to teach me to cook.
Time banking is awesome!
