I worked for a Greek man for over 15 years and would go to his church's festival every year for the baklava and dolmades. He would bring me feta and olives for my lunch frequently. For a Norse girl, I love the Greek food. Thanks for the recipe. I wonder if I can find a steamer like that here in the states? Wishing you a beautiful week.

This post is both interesting and beautiful! -- from your new steamer to the tote bags and the blanket. Are the tote bags cotton and did you mordant them beforehand? They are so cool, love them and love coming here! xoPeggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18071261854957363637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4730741160878867662.post-32986698048236022512012-11-08T10:05:48.288+11:002012-11-08T10:05:48.288+11:00the bag is lovely.

I love the colors and the stitching you did on it.<br /><br />I also LOVE the earth tone fabrics. That steamer is going to come in so handy with all that you do. To be able to have two layers is going to be fabulous for greater production. How long do you have to steam the fabrics?<br /><br />When I came to the end, I was wondering what the white stuff was that you were using until I read that it was a recipe!!!! Too funny. It sounds yummy though.
