Last night's batch of brownies had sprinkles on top, inspired by the Blond Duck. I used my usual recipe, found here. But baking sprinkles into the top of box mix brownies is also awesome.
I used instant chocolate pudding. I didn't feel like fussing with melting chocolate and all the rest of it, and the boys wanted chocolate pudding on their Brownie Tuesdays. Topped with whipped cream and sprinkles, it was a fun dessert.
Yesterday, the postman brought me something I didn't need: more fabric. But I found sweater fabric on sale, and remembered that back in the late 80s, I wore sweater outfits in the winter time. I thought I'd try my hand at a couple, since the fabric was on sale for $4 per yard. If I waste $24 (2 pieces of fabric), well, it kept me amused for a while.
The top color is a very pale yellow, and the bottom one is maroon and pink.
I also got a blue embroidered gauze, pink embroidered, and plum knit.
So, here's the plan:
Blue gauze - a line summer dress (1 yard)
Pink - summer dress (1.5 yard)
Green linen - skirts for me and lawyer daughter (2.5 yards)
White linen - skirts for me and lawyer daughter (2.5 yards)
turquoise cotton - summer dress and...? (3 yards)
Yellow windowpane fabric - Long sleeved spring dress and maybe a line summer dress (4 yards)
There's also sewing to be done for a stuffed mouse's birthday, but that's a story for Friday or Saturday. I have to keep you wondering, don't I?

The Blonde Duck's sprinkles post totally made me crave them as well. I need to find something to sprinkle soon!
Stuffed mouse birthday?
And I think those are sprinkles I could eat. I don't care for them as a rule, but if they're just more texture and sweetness...
oh my goodness that looks good

The brownies look really, really tasty
Your a better woman than I am.....it was too hot to bake brownies here....so I just thought about it and didn't.
Each time I see you have more material I wish that my room was ready so I can get my sewing machine out. Too much problem getting it out each day and putting it back again up wobbly steps!!
wooooooooow that looks good ^^

Ha - in this heat the only appliances that get turned on are the small ones - kettle, rice cooker & microwave - baking waits for cooler days and hubby cooks on the BBQ. And yes, we have AC but I'm still not turning on that oven !LOL
That's a very promising pile of pretty fabric you've got there.
OK, what's this about a stuffed mouse's birthday?
The brownies look yummy. Maybe I'll make some this afternoon, though I hate to use the oven on such a hot day.
I used to wear a lot of sweater dresses in the 80s, too. They were so comfy.
chocolate and sprinkles--always a winning combination! :)
