Attempt No. 2 at Indian cooking, this time a very spicy Masala dish.
Liked the first one better but this was good!
Next attempt will be a curry, I think.

Less is More 236 Card and Photo of the Day
Squeeezed in a card today, between still catching up tasks after being away for a while. I find being creative is my big reward and relaxes me.
One Layer Card
This month we have the title
The Eyes Have it!
So your card this week should have eyes on it somewhere.
Please remember that we LOVE to see WHITE SPACE as part of your design and NO other layers, with minimal embellishments (if any).
Here’s my take:
I rooster stamp is by Recollections, the EYE word are too. The “miss you” is Paper Smooches. The stamped backdrop colors were made with a Stampin’ Up stamp and using Stampin’ Up inks. The only other touch is Mr Rooster’s beady eye.

Mmmmm – CHOCOLATE!
There is chocolate and then there is CHOCOLATE. THIS is THAT kind of chocolate. Eva the owner (prounounced AVA because its supposed to be spelled with a comma over the E but I don’t know how to do this here) is quite a character – always upbeat and I do declare that she looks younger every time we visit. Could it be from imbibing of her own fabulous bon-bons? Eva has the coolest Hungarian accent and it draws me back to a dear friend from long ago who would call me her “lilly sveethart” – I kind of mist up!
There’s always some serious humour served up with the sugar (and of course sweet ‘sugar free’) at the shop. And its impossible not to experience laughter in the shoppe and have your ears filled with satisfied sigggggghhhhs of pleasure. Even the names of the chocolates are exotic – Elderberry (first in the valley we’re told!), Orange Imperial, Bohemian and Tangerine Curaco – to name a few. And we are talking truffles. Truffles with a high dome and an inside that is always an impossibly light rich – and depending on which flavour you choose, tangy – filling. Oh MY!
Main Street, Penticton BC
Worth the trip for!

Miles and I bought a plethora of exotic spices and cooked up
Pav Bhaji for dinner. Delicious! Loved toasting and grinding the spices.

Mojo 409 Card and 365 Photo of the Day
Finally having a chance to craft a card after a long stretch away from my sweet Cameo and supplies. It feels so good to create something! I’ve chosen to make this week’s challenge for:
Here’s my swing on this sketch:
Stamp by Stampin’ Up, The kraft paper is from my scraps stash, unfortunately I didn’t mark the maker on the back – something I need to do in the future.
The rest is simply glitter paper cut on my Cameo and stacked in alternating layers for height and effect.
365 Photo of the Day
I thought this antique Miner’s head lamp makes a cool photo – its hard to imagine someone really wore it. The bottom tank (square) holds fuel which burns with the wick.
