Mark And Lexie Forever, Plus Food, Crafts, And An Outfit

Posted on by

I read yesterday that McSteamy will not be returning to Grey’s Anatomy next season.  This means that he can die and Lexie and Mark can walk into heaven hand and hand together.  Just like it was meant to be.

I have been looking through Pinterest for some dinner ideas, and here are a few that have caught my eye.

Fish and green beans with Wasabi mayonnaise.  You can find the recipe here.

My girls love when Mr. Kell or I cut up veggies and serve them on a platter.  Adding some chicken would give it a little extra goodness.  This is a Buffalo Chicken Cobb salad from Better Homes And Gardens.  What would I do without them?

These are Baked Chicken and Spinach Flautas.  I cannot get my girls to eat enchiladas, so maybe if it is something they can pick up I will give it a try.  You can find the recipe here.

Besides Pinterest, I like to go to another site called Craftgawker.  It is a site where I can find all kinds of craftiness.  I found a great craft for my girls and I today.

It is a frame wrapped in strips of craft paper.  I found some inexpensive frames from Ikea while unpacking, and have a ton of paper.  I think it will be a cute addition to the girls rooms.  You can find the tutorial here.

Since all I have to do today is laundry, I may try to make this.

Another cute bracelet to make with embroidery floss.  You can find the tutorial here.

I was playing around on Polyvore, and found a cute dress.  I decided to dress it up for day and night.

Day and Night

Super cute looks!

Crafting At The Kells

Posted on by

There is some crafting go on over here at the House of Kells.

I went to Joanne’s yesterday with coupon in hand, and I was not afraid to use it.

I bought yarn, fabric, stocking stuffers, and got the creative juices flowing for some Christmas crafting fun.  I say Christmas, because I have never really been into fall crafting.  I love the leaves, I crazy love the colors, but I am a spring girl.  I love when everything comes alive and the bright colors encompass all that I see.

One thing I am going to make for the month of November, is a wreath.  I enjoyed the Halloween wreaths I made, so I wanted to make one for the fall.

Now, all of my ideas come from Martha, Pinterest, or other blogs.  There are some seriously creative people out there.  I am jealous of the time they take to craft.  I am working on organizing my own little craft corner.  It has been decided that I need an outlet.

Here are some wreaths I am interested in making.

I love the colorful flowers.

What is not to love about this.  I could switch out the fabric, add a little foliage, and presto.

The possibilities are endless.

Currently, I am working on this.

It is my first cowl.  It is my first time to knit in the round.  I am crazy excited about this.  My wish is to be able to knit cardigans.  Then, my knitting life would be complete.  I am using my favorite chunky yarn by Lion Brand called Thick and Quick.  I think someone was in a very randy mood when naming this yarn.  Lol.   I wish I could explain in words, how cathartic knitting is to me.

I am currently coming up with a list of Christmas crafts to make, not to mention the yummy things I am going to bake.  One recipe being my mom’s super duper yummy sugar cookies.  It does not matter how many times I make them, they never taste liker hers.  This year I will prevail.

I also stopped at Home Goods, and bought an inspirational journal to write my thoughts, ideas, to dos, recipes, crafts, and blog ideas in.

I truly believe this, and am going to live it.

Craft On!
