CRAFTING LATELY

Some crafts I've been up to lately. Just keeping my hands busy.

043
The cover of my new art journal. May show pages later, maybe some of it is kind of private. I've only done 2 or 3 pages. Kind of neglected it lately.
030
Some heavy duty envelope boxes I covered in pretty paper. Good for hiding all that crap.
012
020025
Some inspiring words to have around. I still need to cut off the extra material and maybe hang some ribbon from them to hang on the wall.
040
042
Weaving. Just getting started on this kind of thing so these are kind of...egh. I found a use for all those old birthday, anniversary, etc. cards that I can't throw away but am sick of having laying around. I got six frames to paint black and I'm going to frame them and hang them randomly on the wall.

TREASURES FOUND

Some treasures found over the weekend. I love finding unique things no one else will have. It doesn't have to be expensive just original, one of a kind, and unique.

Walking stick. No I don't need one, but it looks awesome placed 'just so' by my fire place. Below is a close up.
019
Yes let's do that. Adorable colors. Simple sewing.

Made from recycled metal. Peace & Love together forever.

HOME-SPIRATION

Unique homes for decor inspirations.

I love the idea of using a rug as a table cloth. And I have always been in love with vases and pitchers.

I love large letters randomly placed around the pad.

A WEEK OF COOKING WITH SOUP - DAY 1

002

NACHO PASTA

1 can (11 ounces) Campbell's Condensed Fiesta Nacho Cheese Soup
1/2 cup of milk
4 cups cork-screw-shaped pasta (rotini), cooked and drained

Heat the soup and milk in a 2-quart sauce pan over medium heat. Cook and stir until hot and bubbling.
Stir in the pasta. Cook and stir until hot.

THE VERDICT: The kiddos would prefer I just made a simple box of mac & cheese. Decent flavor, but a little bland.
