Easy Sweet & Sour From Scratch
Delicious Sweet & Sour pork or chicken, better than the bottled sauce, and without the nasty red dyes. This will make a big huge batch, family sized!
First prep your veggies so they're ready to go:

First, you'll want some fabric. Either enough of one color/pattern for your mitt, or mitts, or two coordinating fabrics. I used old baby clothes of hers. (I also turned her old favorite dresses into an apron, but that's another post...) You only need...

Long Time, No See....
If you follow on Facebook, you've seen that the past few couple few months we've had quite a lot of illness & crap busy-stuff at home. This all has put blogging on the back burner, but HOPEFULLY we're back!
Spring has brought allergies out the wazoo for the little Princess, but everyone else is full of health & vigor. I have a bit of a stockpile of pictures and such to post, maybe I can make up for the long hiatus.
One tutorial coming...
