What's on YOUR fridge???

One of my MOST favorite craft blogs to visit is http://littlebitfunky.blogspot.com/ go check it out sometime! This gal is Soooooo creative and she always has SOMETHING in the works. Anyway, I am continuing her challenge to "show my fridge". Anyone else up for it? Here is my fridge...Lets see, there are two pink scripture cards in the left corner, a Christmas photo card from my husbands dad, on the green clip is a copy of DDs shot records, a speeding ticket(ooopps! what can i say, I drive it like i stole it???", and a cutting from a magazine of a hairdo I wanted to try. Other side is a picture of DH and his brothers when they were little, a picture of DD in the tub when she was about 3 months old, a spring magnet I got in a Springtime swap, a lab bill, a list of dinners for the month, a baggie with ideas form magazine on how to decorate the house, a notepad, a duck magnet, and 19 letter magnets for DD! Now, lets see YOUR fridge pics!!!

Inspired by Springtime?

Well, Dh and I knocked out two rooms in about 8 hours total. I got the colors mixed last night and we finished painting Abbys room at about 11:30pm. I haven't gotten everything back in its place yet but I'll post more pics when we get everything set up. Also, we painted our room early this morning so I should have everything back in that room tonight. You will not even GUESS what color OUR room is!!! I'll just give you a hint...it looks like our house has been dipped in "EASTER" !

Abbys Room- I have lots of decorating ideas for her room but for now, I'm just happy to have it painted!

3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
3 tablespoon cooking oil
1 bag frozen stir-fry veggies
1 cup of water
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granuals

In large skillet heat 2 tablespoons of oil. Stir fry chicken until no longer pink ( about three to five minutes) Remove from pan and keep warm. Add remaining oil and vegitables and stir fry until tender crisp. Add water and boullion. Return chicken to pan. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Serve over rice.

Let me know if you try it and like it!

Decorative Kitchen Cloth

I stitched this little embroidered kitchen cloth while I was outside soaking up the sunshine with Abby this morning.





The colors aren't really my style but when I started stitching I really didn't know what it was going to end up "becoming".


I just decided to keep it simple so I hemmed the edges under by hand and made it into a decorative kitchen cloth to hang on the front of the oven or on my plate rack.

Back to work!

Well, I have been busy with things other than crafting so I guess Im gonna get back in the groove tonight. I have a list of sewing and crafting projects that should keep me busy for a year or three :) Let's see, I STILL have to put some final touches on the fairy dress that Abby will be wearing in April, also, I have seven or eight little crayon rolls to make for the other little fairys as thank you gifts for being in the wedding, I have a kitty pillow to start( might start that tonight or tomorrow), I have a pillow case dress in mind that I want to make for Abby, I am in the very beginning of cutting out and embroidering some "tea cloths", and I should be painting and decorating Abbys room in May sometime. I have SOOOO many great ideas I'm having trouble remembering them all. I have found so much inspiration from my crafting buddies blogs and such. Speaking of forgetting good ideas, I also plan on making an inspiration bulletin board to hang in our office so I can stick all my good ideas and color palettes there. Should be another fun little crafty thing.
Well, I'm going to get my ironing board and my scissors out! Check back with me to see if I've made any progress!!!

What a Day!

Well, Abby had so much fun hunting for "treasures" in the yard. Mom got most of the pictures on her camera because DH and I were busy helping Abby find her treasures. She was so excited about the whole ordeal and when we finally came in the house to open all the little treasure bags, she really made all my work worth while!

She was a really good sport about waiting to eat candy until AFTER the Easter story.

And After a little football, kickball, and playin' in the back yard... Abby and Granny decided to take a break in the baby pool!

Hope everyone's easter was blessed!
