31 Days of Pinterest, Dinner for Hockey Night in Canada on Day 6

So here we are, another day of fun with Pinterest!  Tonight I made this super yummy pulled beef thing.  I liked it, the shorties tolerated it and the men folk (Josh, Jack, and CH) loved it. As you know, everyone in our house watches the hockey and this the perfect hockey night dinner!  I put it all together in the crock pot after dinner the night before and turn it on in the morning as I am heading out the door to work.  When I get home it is done and the part that takes me the longest is washing the crock pot!  I will make this many many times I am sure.

This is the image with from Pinterest, with the receipe attached. Try it.  You will like it!

31 Days of Pinterest, Chicken Bleck on Day 5

Well, this one was a bit of a flop... but I tried.  It sounded really good but it wasn't really for us.  I used low fat cream cheese and low fat cream of chicken soup maybe that was the problem.  I put it on pasta instead of rice... was that the problem??  I don't know.  The chicken was delicious but the sauce, meh.

It seems there are a lot of people who really like this recipe so don't let me dissuade you. I might try it again with less seasoning...  I don't know.  It seems like I should like it and it was so very easy.

31 Days of Pinterest, A Little Organization to Brighten PITA's Day 4

Another super duper simple idea.  Makes the drawer all neat a tidy just how we OCD children like it! Mine don't look as pretty as this but perhaps they will someday - but they do a fabulous job at keeping things just that much more organized.

Back tomorrow with another fabulously Pinteresting idea!

31 Days of Pinterest, From to Trash to Treasure (Is Not Always This Easy!) Day 3

I love it when you stumble upon something and know exactly what you are going to do with it.

When we moved the shop, I had this instinct to keep all of these old drawer that were in the basement but had some aesthetic value.  Then, I saw this on Pinterest.

I put this together. It took about 2 minutes. I cut fabric to size, double checked to make sure it fit and used spray adhesive to attach it. I would have used paper instead if I had any but I am a sewer not a scrapbooker so fabric it is.  I am pretty happy with it but have no idea what to put in it.  The flowers where filler for the picture.  :o)

So what is next you may wonder?  Hmm...  I have the day off tomorrow so we shall see if I cook and clean or sew...  I have a couple of things up my sleeve, now however, despite the hour, I am going to do some blog clean up and see if I can find a relatively easy way  to create a page for selling stuff...  yeah, the nasty business of that.  I know I know, I don't want to but now with Josh home I have yet another mouth to feed.  :o)

Talk to you tomorrow.

31 Days of Pinterest, Take What You Need on Day 2

This may have been my very first pin.  This is the version from Pinterest, feel free to use mine.  It is not any great work of art but I put it on the door of the old shop and people actually took them.  I printed on out for my friend who is a teacher and she put it up in the staff room and had really great feed back from it.  It is just one of those pay it forward kind of things that is nice, makes you feel good and makes other people smile.

Fill in the Blank Friday

1. The highlight of my week was finding out that the teachers are going on strike and I will therefore have some extra time with my kids next week!  Yeah!  I love time with them, especially since they are growing like weeds and it seems like they are going to be off to university in 20 minutes at this rate.

2. If I had to classify my interior design aesthetic it would be non-existent.  If I like it, it stays.  If I don't, it might still stay for a while.  :o)

3. My first vehicle was was a 1986 Toyota Turcel hatchback which I fondly called the Turtle.  I had SO many good times in that car.  It belonged to H1 originally but after we were married and had a second vehicle it became mine, all mine.  It was a 4 speed with a 6 pack CD changer, tinted windows and low profile tires...  Oh how I loved that car.

4. Any item I need to have in my day in order to function is (sadly) my iPhone. Man I love that thing.  I can go online, I can take photos, I can blog, I can play games, I can talk and text with my peeps.  LOVE my iPhone.

5. My favorite way to waste time is by puttering around online - Pinterest is a personal favorite but I have a few other than that I often visit including How About Orange, Craft Gawker, and The Blogess.

6. Right now I could really go for pedicure.  I love them.  So relaxing and my feet ache from the long winter.  Plus I have some nasty bits that I would like taken care of and I love the almost pain of the toenail things they do to you.

7. This weekend I will be sewing! I have not done any real sewing since we started moving the shop.  I need a new bag and have some really great ideas for a few more and just need to get it done.  I have to craft fairs coming up so I need to get on it! :o)

PITA is nagging me to find something for her in my disastrous office so I better go before she starts whacking me with bolts of fabric.

31 Days of Pinterest, A Cooking Tip on Day 1

Okay. I am going to do it. I am hoping this will light the fire under my bum and get me really doing things! You know, since I spend so much time sitting around lately, what with moving my store and everything. The thing is, what is the point of the pins if you pin them and then forget all about them? And I have so many...so here goes....

The very first thing I did that I pinned was this.  Super easy, and it works.  Really.
