Christmas Wreaths

Last year for Christmas Gift i made wreaths. I loved making them and Friends have asked if I would make some to sell later on this year. Here are some photos

For some reason the photos don't do them justice.

Hope you like them!

Weekend maddness

Well hello again!  Its been a really busy weekend for me and the family.  I worked Friday then it was a girl's night out for my friend Laura's birthday (with is tomorrow).  A family night out on Saturday to our friends for curry and drinks and then run the children the children here there and everywhere on Sunday. 

This was Friday night with the girls

This was Saturday night with the Addi's

I haven't really had time a make anything new, but i have finished my Button Love heart wreath that's for Mary's Bedroom, here it is

Nothing to exciting happened to tell you all. Lets see what tomorrows bring I've got lunching with Laura and a bit of shopping to!

Shopping and Mary's Bedside

Today's shopping trip was a success, i got the glue sticks and the some fantastic material for another project i'm going to start very soon.  Didn't manage to get the ribbon I wanted for the jeweled wreath but will keep an eye when i'm out and about. so here is a photo of me just before i left for the shops Wearing my favorite Scarf!

It was so cold out today i wished i'd have worn my big padded coat but NO Penny wears her nice thin faux leather small coat!................well it did look nice on!

This is what i bought.............

So watch this space to see what i do with them.

Today i also visited my Friend who up-cycles furniture and she is going up-cycle my daughters bedside table for me...I cant wait to see it, it should be ready next week. 

This is the before photo

I don't know if i should put 2 handles on or just the 1.  What do you think?

Right I'm just off to finish something i started..............Back soon!

Another busy day in our house and a full on day tomorrow. I need to get some more glue sticks for my glue gun for my next project and see if i can find some nice ribbon for the jeweled wreath that I previously made.

This is the Valentines card i got for my hubby this year. I have an obsession with love heart and my kitchen wall has quite a collection on them now and then i think they is at least one in every room apart from the Big boy (George) and Little man (Noah) bedrooms. 

I'm on a mission this year to decorate each and every room in the house this year, even if its just a lick of paint.  It's going to be a bit of a challenge as i will be doing it on a shoe string budget, but that also makes the fun in it and makes you appreciate it a little more.

   

Right that's enough of that love stuff! 

Meet the Family!

This is George The big Boy!

This is Noah. The Little Man!  

This is Betsy!

This is Mary, My Princess cupcake Angelface

This is Mr Lee my Fantastic amazing Hubby

Well hello again!  I just thought i would what i had for my tea last night as it was amazing meal and healthy to!  This Year I'm trying my best to eat healthy and to greatly reduce the amount of processed food I eat! 

I think its so easy to get into the habit of eating quick meals that are frozen or part made ie Jars of sauces and ready made.  I know i do have more time on my hands then most people i understand that, but if i can show you how easy some of the recipes i use and how quick they are to cook I just may people have a healthier diet.

Well last night menu was Spanish Chicken. Yummy yummy nom nom!  

Looks a little bland on the white plate. Taste amazing! 

This is what you'll need

Fry Light

908g Skinless chicken breast chopped into large chunks

4 Garlic clove crushed

1 Medium onion finely chopped

8 Rashers of bacon, diced with all visible fat removed

1 Yellow Pepper, deseeded  and sliced

2 Red peppers, deseeded and sliced

1 Spring of fresh thyme

1 Bay leaf

400g can of chopped tomatoes

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

28 Pitted black olives

Small handful of fresh flat-leaf parsley finely chopped

 I just love the colours of all the ingredents! 

let the cooking begin!

Spray your pan with the fry light and heat, add the chicken, Onion and garlic and stir-fry for  5 minutes. Add bacon and peppers and fry for a further 1-2 minutes

Strip the leaves from the thyme and add to the pan along with the chopped tomatoes and bay leaf.  

Bring to the boil then reduce heat. Cover and simmer for an hour or until chicken is cooked.  (Me!   I put my rice on then set the table ready to eat, Stick the washer on and wash the pots that I've used so far and its ready)  Season well, scatter over the olives and chopped parsley and its ready!

You can have this dish with Potatoes, rice or on its own which ever you prefer.
