Quick Dinner- Chicken Potpie Cupcakes

You want something quick and easy to make then this is the recipe for you.  The first time I make anything it takes me forever but trust me the second time around I know this will be a breeze.  This recipe found its way to me via Pinterest however the original is here.

Modifications for next time, use a thinner biscuit and perhaps thin out the potpie broth some.  This will be made again.  Easy to pop in the lunch box on day 2 as well.

Cleaning Day

Yesterday was officially a day of cleaning.  While I didn't get everything cleaned up it was a big dent.  I like things nice and tidy but for some reason it is always like a tornado has whirled through.  My method for yesterday was to spend 30 min in each area.  It is amazing what you can do in 30 min with some focus.  I was quite pleased with the results and plan on doing it like this more often.

There are some charts floating around on the Internet on what to clean if you have 10 min, 20 min, 30 min.  I  may have to revisit one of those an incorporate into my daily efforts.  As I get better I can only hope that 10 min should be the most I need for most things.

I MUST Be Crazy

Last year of a friend of mine did the Warrior Dash and wanted me to do it.  Thinking it would be something fun for me and my girls to do together we were a little disappointed when my youngest didn't meet the age requirement.  Well, here we are one year later and one year older.  So guess who is all signed up for the Warrior Dash.  I think this will be a lot of fun for me and my girls.

I'll let you know how it goes

20. Make a Holdiay Wreath

Still trying to get in touch with my inner craftiness.  This wreath was relatively simple to make.  I got the idea off of a fun DIY blog.

My daughter wanted purple for the Baltimore Ravens so I went ahead with that.  Not exactly the Ravens colors but we'll go with it.  Putting the ornaments onto the hanger proved to be a pain and it seemed like it would take a lot more ornaments so I decided to cover the hanger in garland and make ornament clusters.  I don't know if I am 100% satisfied but I do think it was a good first attempt. (I still need to snip some strings and conceal the hanger)

What I used:
Hanger
String
Garland
Christmas ornaments
Clip on flowers

Steps:

• Make a ring out the wire hanger to use as the wreath frame.
• Wrap garland around the hanger.
• Make clusters of ornaments by feeding a piece of string through the ornaments.
• Secure onto hanger as desired.

If you make a wreath one little thing I noticed, rotate it a few times when you are done.  You may end up liking it better.

Rusty..

Yep, here I am back at it.  Rusty as ever.  Happy November everyone!!!  I know it has been a while but I am hoping to have a little blogging outlet more often.  I always miss it.

Winter is about to be among us and I haven't knit a hat, scarf, gloves, anything.  I am seriously rusty.  It took me forever to cast on the 90 stitches for this hat.  Actually it took me forever to figure out what the heck I wanted to knit.  Then I realized I my circular needle was to long, so I started transferring to DPNs, until I realized I was transferring to the wrong size DPNs.  GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.  That is why I hate taking a long hiatus from anything.  When I come back to it I feel like I am starting all over again.

The pattern says it is a pretty quick knit.  Once I get going I should be good. Hopefully.
