On Monday, I kept going through my fabric "stash" and decided to go ahead and make the ruffled apron that I wanted to make when I go on the craft weekend. I purchased a white plain apron from Hobby Lobby and then made my ruffles to sew on. I found some ribbon we used on another project on another day and added it to my apron. Now that I finished this, I have realized, I don't need to pay $475 to go on a craft weekend in Wichita, KS. I have now made almost everything they make during that weekend (and using stuff I already had!). Cost was minimal - $4.99 for the apron. $3.99 for the metal tray. $12.55 for chalkboard paint, paintbrushes, and the striped stockings, $0.50 for the swim noodle on clearance at Big Lots. Fun with crafting: PRICELESS!!
Along with my obsession with Pinterest, I found a chicken pot pie recipe (on pinterest) that I thought I would try. Now keep this in mind, 1) I don't cook very often, 2) my children have never liked "casseroles", 3) I made a low-fat version of this a long time ago...yeah, think I threw that recipe away. Most of the ingredients I had in the cabinet. It was VERY easy to make, took about 40 minutes to cook in the oven. Kristen was over, so Joe, Kristen and I ate it.....almost all of it. It was very good. If you've ever tried Marie Calendar's chicken pot pie (either fresh at the restaurant or the frozen kind from the store), it tastes JUST LIKE IT. Yum! I will be keeping this recipe close at hand, and I will be making it again.
