I mentioned back in this post that since moving back to the mainland from Hawaii, we always find it funny that so many recipes are labelled “Hawaiian Something” simply because they have pineapple in them, regardless of whether you’d ever find that recipe eaten in Hawaii.

Since starting my low GL (glycemic load) eating plan in July of last year, I have lost two full clothing sizes. I don’t own a scale so don’t know how much I’ve lost in pounds.

After embroidering, I cut them to size and sewed them together with a backing fabric the same size. To make the pretty edging, I did a blanket stitch…
Just a couple of small finishes to share this week as I’ve mostly been working on the pattern for Lexie the Hexie Turtle. Getting the turtle eyes right has proven to be a challenge.
