Slowcooker Salisbury Steak

Salisbury steak. 

I really like the idea of Salisbury steak. In theory it sounds right up my alley: meat, potatoes, gravy. Here’s what I don’t like about Salisbury steak: mushrooms. 

So, without further adieu, I present this Slowcooker Salisbury Steak recipe, sans mushrooms, that I found on Crafty Creative Kathy’s blog. 

Upcycled Mirror Frame to Earring Display

Hello all! 

Today’s post is brought to you by the letter ‘S’, as in ‘Silver Spray paint’.  

This craft was not done during my super awesome craft/cooking extravaganza week last month. I know I still have a bunch of projects to post from that week, but the project I did this week has distracted me. Check it out: 

“Ooo, nice earring holder, Kneesh.” 

Right?? 

DIY Stained "Glass" Snowflakes

Happy New Year everyone!

My Christmas break was pretty great. Lots of friends and family, and, of course, some food poisoning. After all, what’s the holiday season without a little bit of salmonella (it’s the most delicious bacteria).

Now that the holiday season is over, it’s back to the winter grind. Bundling up in 7 layers of clothing to trudge along poorly cleared sidewalks and drive on ice rinks that used to be known as roads.

I actually love winter (no, that’s not sarcasm). Snow is pretty, and the cold is just a minor nuisance. And on blustery days like today, when schools are closed and the radio is cautioning people to stay home, why not celebrate the beauty of winter with a little craft?

These gorgeous snowflakes have been hanging on my window for a few weeks, and they serve as a gentle reminder to enjoy the season.
