Happy St. Patrick's Day!


Happy St. Patrick's Day, everyone!


I've been seriously neglecting my housework this week, so there won't be much else getting done.

I'm not Irish (at least that I'm aware of) and neither is the bf. And Freyja's a German dog from French Canada with a Scandinavian name. So I'm not wearing green. And I won't be pinched.

I am, however, making corned beef and cabbage... for the first time.


Frankly, I think it looks a little gross. At least all packaged up. I mean, it looks a little like beef tongue.


The bf didn't leave me with a recipe. "Just add water," was his 'recipe.' 

So I went and I found one of my own.

And luckily, we have this lovely, pot:


I'm sure it was inherited. The bf's kitchen stuff is always surprising. I'm either surprised he doesn't own something or surprised he does.

But it's a great, versatile pot. So thank you to who ever it came from :)

And apparently, it's not St. Patrick's Day without Guinness.


But frankly, I don't get the hype.

How ever you celebrate,
HAVE A GREAT ST. PATRICK'S DAY!

Also, there's a great pattern giveaway over at Adventures in Dressmaking... Head over and check it out!

I'm feeling crafty.

On Fridays, I tend to feel like I want to do something crafty. Maybe it's because the house is all clean.

It's almost Easter (hey, lent has started), so I started looking for some Easter themed decorations to make. I settled on this project from Martha Stewart for today:



I'm still mid-project and don't have everything I need to finish it up, but here's a sneak peak:


I'm hoping to make a Michael's run tonight to get the necessary supplies to finish it up.

And Freyja?

She's got nothing better to do, so she's napping...


And snoring away...


Happy Friday and have a great weekend!
