Thrifting It Back and Lasagna Meatloaf

Last year, I gained a lot of fabric. Now it is time to thrift some of it back. It is fabric whomped with the ugly stick. I won't even use it for wrapping on my eBay orders. What has fallen out of favor with me? Floral prints. There, I said it. Here are some of the culprits - headed for the Great Thrift Shop Beyond. 

I am working on one of my larger sewing pattern listing sessions with 57 pieces. The majority of these are specialty patterns featuring dolls, aprons, home decor, and some clothing. This Pattern of the Day won the cutie patootie award. 💜

I have less and less patience with sewing patterns that are cut - even if they are vintage. The numbers don't crunch. The amount of time spent listing the pattern and a low listing price makes for an unhappy seller. 

I am also gaining on my goal of 2,500 active listings on eBay. I get close and then I start culling stock. This year I should hit one million total views, after blogging for 13 years. 

Ending the post with one of my favorite family recipes, it has been in our archive for years.  

LASAGNA MEATLOAF

1 lb. hamburger

1 15 oz. can tomato sauce

3/4 cup oatmeal

1 egg

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. oregano

1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning

1/2 tsp. garlic powder

1 tbsp. dry onion

Mix all ingredients together and put half of the mixture in an 8" x 8" pan. Note reserve 1/2 of the tomato sauce in the recipe below. 

3/4 cup ricotta

3/4 cup mozzarella cheese (1/4 cup for the top)

1 egg

1 pkg. frozen spinach (unthawed, chopped, drained)

Put the rest of the 1/2 of the hamburger mixture on top, then the leftover tomato sauce, and the rest of the mozzarella cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until bubbly.
