MUST figure out

these are the cutest things i've ever seen and we have to figure out how to make them!!

We seriously need to learn to knit.

Imagine the possibilities!!!!

I'm at my mom's, and of course I don't have my recipes here. So I'll just put the ones I know off the top of my head.

Bean dip
1 can ref. beans
1 can black beans, drained
1 cup cheese
1 cup salsa
1/2 cup sr. cream (I just changed that, 1 cup was a lot)

Boil everything but sr. cream, stir it in just before serving. Serve warm with chips.

Fajitas
This recipe changes every time I make it.
Cut beef or chicken into strips, put in bag with 1/2 cup oil, 3-4 slices fresh lime, garlic, salt, pepper. Marinade for a couple hours.
Cut up peppers (usually green are cheaper but colors are prettier and sweeter) and sweet white onion into long thin slices. Cook meat until done, then add peppers and onion. Stir fry together for a while until tender. Serve on a tortilla with pico de gallo, guacamole, ref. beans.

Pico de gallo
3 fresh tomatoes diced
1/4 - 1/2 sweet white onion diced
1/2 bunch cilantro cut into tiny pieces
2 garlic cloves cut into tiny pieces
1 lime
dash salt
Cut everything up except the lime, mix it together, squeeze the lime juice on it, let sit in fridge for 1/2 hour or so.

Guacamole
mash up 3ish avocados, mix with a couple spoonfuls pico. Salt and pepper to taste.

We had this last night when we had the new neighbors over for dinner, it was a hit.

Your turn!

Bags

These are the bags I made for gifts. I think they're cute. They're big and have two pockets on the inside. My sewing machine needs to be tuned up or I would've made more. So simple and fun! Plus they're fully covered with interfacing so they're sturdy. You should make one if you like them.

St. George Half

Projects can take on a whole new meaning with Christmas approaching

All right. We can get some good ideas going here- projects for us and some to keep the kiddos busy.

Ideas to be on the look out for-

-snowflake/snowballs (martha style!)

-tree skirts

-stocking (you saw the post, right?)

-ornaments

-pillows

Please add to the list! Keep a look out for fun, different kinds of things, too. This'll be fun.

Hope the science fair project went ok!

I have a thing for fun stockings

these are found here, here, and here.

Do you know how to knit? I want to learn. Some of these might be do-able for a project-- the polka dot one, maybe.
