Tonight was pretty good! I got a few more crafts finished and we had meatloaf, black-eyed peas and mashed taters. YUMMY!!!
Let me start with the first with the food. It was so good. I like to cook but have to admit that I don’t do it as often as I should. And since today was one of those days where comfort foods sound like the best way to end the day I made meatloaf. This time I tried something different. While we were at one of our local Octoberfest we picked up a few of those packets for making dips. At one of the vendors the gentleman working the booth (who was super friendly) told us about a few being a good addition to meatloaf. My husband immediately perked up. He not only loves dips he loves meatloaf. Who am I kidding the man just loves food! So far we’ve had the Cinnabun (delish) and tonight I tried the jalapeno Bacon in the meatloaf. It was great! It was spicy but it was really good and would also be a great burger. And who may you ask is the brain behind these great dips? Well I’ll tell you Little Dippers Dip Mixes . Yes if you click on their name you will see their site! There are a few other WV vendors that I like and I’m sure the next time I have a taste of their wares they’ll get a shout out too!
Now on to the way I spent the rest of my afternoon and evening while I wasn’t eating. I was crrafting. I know last night I was in love with a snowman but tonight my heart was stolen by a peacock! I was playing around with bird pins, bows, and keychains earlier and then my son brought over a book and there was a peacock. I thought “Hey! I can make a peacock! Why not?”. And that’s just what I did.
Paulbert the Peacock
He was the most fun item I made today. I accoplished making a few other items also but he is what I love most. Don’t get me wrong I really like the brooches I finished and may keep few for myself. I’m particularly fond of red/green felt circle with Christmas button brooch, a heart keychain, 2 tone grey/black broock and a bejeweled Christmas tree. All of which may go into my personal collection.
My othe faves!
Along with the Christms tree and brooch I also completed another Christmas brooch and a Christmas bow. All which were inspired while I put up Christmas decorations in the kitchen. Yes that now means that 3 rooms completed. Not much longer and I will have the inside of the house completed. Hopefully we have a few days of nice weather and the husband will be able to get on the roof to hang the icicle lights (the only decorations I don’t try to do myself).
Hope everyone has a great night sleep and an awesome Sunday. Tomorrow we get to go cheer on a great friends little boy in his Super Bowl game of pee wee football! Go Team!!!
