Crafty and Non Crafty Post!

Hey Everyone!

NOTE: Have had a few comments saying that people would love to enter my first challenge but they do not have a blog, if this applies to you, you are still eligible to enter, just make sure you load up to a gallery like Flickr and in the description, link to the Honouree or card that has inspired you to honour, so please if this does apply to you, get crafting and link your creation would love for you to join in the fun!

So today I thought I would share something different with you..one of those things is that at present there is a lot of talk about Pinterest...if you have not checked it out you must..fantastic images all in one place and for me great source of inspiration...Here are just a few images that I have collected over the last month..


Pinterest


These images really caught my eye..especially that crocheted dress, I mean WOW!!

Other things I wish to share with you tonight is, this vegetable is currently in season here in Australia and I LOVE it..so if anyone else has any great recipes would love to hear about them...I usually find that our weather for March is still quite warm so salads are still the eating thing..I generally blanche the asparagus quickly then drizzle with balsamic vinegar..my fav.

The last non crafty thing to share with you all..is a couple of movies that I have now watched countless times...I mean this one It's Complicated...Love this movie..Meryl Streep...who doesn't love her in movies..she is a brilliant actress.

Okay so onto some crafty things...I also found this on Pinterest...well have to tell you I instantly fell in love with those french doors...something that I would love to do in my craft room....the only thing is convincing Darryl, and I don't like my chances...LOL, but hey a girl can dream right :) Oh and nearly forgot to say that I love that colour blue...so refreshing, at least I will be able to change that in my room :)

The last crafty thing I want to share with you..are these sweet, sweet images from La La Land Digital Images...when I first saw Mariana create THIS card, I knew I wanted some..so these are the ones that I have purchased and I cannot wait to play with them, hopefully this weekend.

Hi Joy, fun post today. You asked for some asparagus recipes....our favorite is to toss it in a bit of olive oil, sprinkle with salt and then grill outside on a sheet of aluminum foil or in the oven at 400 degrees about 12 to 15 minutes. I also have had it in a quiche with fresh tomatoes........YUMM!

This is such a fun post Joy! I swear I am beginning to be addicted to Pinterest too! It's such a fun site!! Yep I LOVE asparagus too! I've had it on my shopping list the past few weeks, coz I love it that much! But last night they didnt have any :( Have you tried blanching them quckly, then once cooled, getting about 3 or 4 in a bunch, wrapping them with a slice of proscuitto then putting them in the oven for a few mins until the proscuitto gets crispy, then you put them in a dish and drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Its to die for! :)

Love the pic of Alicia's craftroom (from Posie gets Cozy). Although she has since re-done it, you really should see it now!

Joy, I have heard about Pinterest for a while now and never knew what it was. Awesome inspiration! I like that crafty room and I would just like to paint my ugly old paneled walls! Love those digital images too-if I had something to color with I'd buy them!
