Spicy Egg Salad

I wanted an egg salad sandwich the other day but I didn't want one made the normal way. So, here we have a new version.

2 hard boiled eggs
About 2-3 tbsp. Mayonnaise (your choice)
1-2 tsp. Wasabi paste
1/2 tsp. Onion powder
The more wasabi paste you put in it; the spicier it will get.
1-2 slices bread (I usually cut one piece of bread in half).

This can make up to two full sized sandwiches. Recipe can be doubled. Enjoy!!

Crochet Swinging Fairy Chair

Hello again everyone. I created this little swinging chair for a bunch of fairies that I made and wanted to put out into my backyard & keep high enough so that the dogs couldn't get to them. I don't have a lot of trees; so, I came up with the idea of a swing they could sit in that I could hang from what branches I do have.

Abbreviations & Materials
SC,= single crochet
St = stitch
CH = chain/chains
F/O= fasten off
Sl St =slip stitch
BLO= back loop only
Sc2tog = single crochet 2 together
3.5-4mm hook (or size desired).
You can make this as small or large as needed. Any color or type of yarn.
Ch 16, sc in second stitch from hook & each st across, ch 1,  turn (15).
Row 1-9(more for a wider seat).
Row 10: sc across in blo, ch 1, turn.
Row 11-21 sc across, ch 1, turn.
Row 22: *sc2tog, ch 4, sl st into top of st*, repeat from *to*, f/o.
This creates a little picot design on top of the chair.

About half way down on the back side, join yarn & ch 8, (or number needed), sl st into bottom corner of seat, ch 1, turn, sc back across & f/o. Do this for both sides. This gives you a bit of an arm rest kind of thing.

Depending on how long you want the chain's that it will hang by will depend on how many chains to make. For my first one, I only chained 25 for the top back & 35 for the bottom & crochet together at the top to make one loop.

Hope you like my little swinging chair. Any questions; please don't hesitate to ask. Would love to see some pictures!
