Project 1

I must be feeling better, if I am decorating and getting some projects completed.  I have been wanting to do this project since we moved in.  Super easy and colorful.  I hate having plain walls, so this was cheap and quick.  I bought some embroidery hoops at the thrift store and then some fat quarters at the craft store and viola...

This is when you first walk in to my place, my color scheme is red, browns, yellows and a pop of turquoise.  I love the blue and I am really loving yellow......

Pictures

Turns out I had/have pneumonia.  It's my spring break from school, two actual days off with no work, or no school, and I get stuck at home with pneumonia.  Go figure!  It's a pain in the butt sickness.  I had so many antibiotics, and the side effects from those alone contributed to my sickness.  I have been on the couch and sleepless since wednesday!  I just started getting sleep on Saturday....but hey I lost 3.4 lbs at weight watchers and I got an unpaid vacation from work!  Not so much vacation.  I got nothing accomplished!  Its hard for me to sit still, but this sickness made me.  So now I have money to catch up on and a messy house to clean to make up for my "week" off.  I couldnt even catch up on reading!!  Can you believe that!  The meds made me so lightheaded it hurt to concentrate on something too long.  I did get some pictures in.  Not all, but some......

I dont even drink whiskey, me and dark liquor...do not mix....but this is one of my fav shirts.  Its big and comfy, and I lounged in it practically all week. 

 I'm Irish and can't not have my St. Patty's day decor up.  I have little flags outside as well along the walk way!  Already bought my corned beef, just need cabbage and get all the ingredients for my irish soda bread!   I'm making a ton of loaves this year!

Oh my beautiful couch, how I love thee, how I am kinda sick of you because I sat in your corner spot for a week straight!  I still love you tho......just avoiding you for a bit....

I haven't been out in a week, so other then my close family members and hospital or doctors office people, you get a picture of the hubs! 

That's all she wrote for this week!  I am feeling a lot better today and it's so pretty out, I may just sneak out to joannes for some fabric...upcoming craft.

Talk to you soon!

Chicken Parm in crockpot

I came down with something, I haven't slept so much in I don't know when.  I am plain old sick, never had the flu before and I really don't want it again. I don't have time to be sick!  So yesterday I threw this in the crockpot.  The husband said it was tasty, I however had no appetite so I only took a few bites to have something in my stomach.  He liked it so I am sharing it.  That and I am sick of sitting on the couch!

Super easy to make, bread your chicken, you know egg wash then dip in bread crumbs with parm cheese mixed in put it in the bottom of your crockpot and top with about two cups of  mozzarella cheese.  I used shredded, next time I will use slices.  Then top with your fave marinara sauce.  I made spaghetti to go with it, I was planning on making breadsticks but that didn't work out.  Hopefully I get my appetite back, it looks yummy sitting in the fridge!

Original recipe can be found at chef in training,

Enough said.....

Late photos

So the weekends get pretty busy around here.  That is where I get a bulk of my hours of work from, so I'm super tired when I come home.  Hence, the photos being late.

Day 3: Neighborhood.  This is what you see when you step out on my front porch.  The one thing I like about this complex, so many pretty trees.

Day 4: bedside.  Now that I have such a comfy couch, haha. I don't spend so much time in bed watching TV.  The only thing I have on there is my busted copy of breaking dawn (don't get me started!) and two Clifford's.  He keeps me safe at night.....

Anyone else doing the challenge?

National Craft Month

Did you know March is national craft month?!  I did not, but Joann's informed me thru email just yesterday.  Aslo gave me a 15% of total purchase coupon.......So I will be headed down to Joann's to get my fabric for an upcoming craft project. 

Now that we are moved and almost completely settled its time to get crafting!

Here is a sneak peak of what my crafting month will look like!!

What do you have planned this month?
