Dinner this Week - 01.11.15

It is cold here. Bone-chilling, I don't want to go outside cold so this week will feature warm things, comforting things.

I also want to point out that I realize I prefaced this as a craft, food, family blog, but up to this point, have only posted food. Much of my free time over winter break was spent cleaning and organizing my studio. G decided I could have one of his vintage standing, roll-around toolboxes and chaos ensued. This afternoon, I finally got all the pieces put back together and started my first block in Pat Sloan's 2015 Vacation Time Block of the Month Quilt. I also compiled a list of in-progress and in-my-head sewing tasks to do this year. I need to share at least one project I did last year, too, that hasn't been blogged. So, there are non-food topics to come. :)

Dinner This Week - 11.17.14-11.22.14

It is finally cold here. Really cold. OK, not so really cold, but it seems cold because we dropped from 60's to 80's to 20 overnight. Normally, whatever normal is for Nebraska weather, we have a couple of weeks in the 40's to make the transition from fall to winter. No such luck this year.

In other news this week, I opened my Etsy shop. Right now it has an array of vintage Rand McNally maps with more vintage goodness to come. Check it out at etsy.com/shop/ArtsAndCraftsHome.

While on Etsy, I've managed to make a dent in my Christmas shopping. Hopefully those Barbie clothes from Hungary get here in time.

In my pre-Thanksgiving week, I'm trying to keep things simple. This week has one overnight for my department retreat in addition to my regular Monday sorority night so you'll notice pizza AND breakfast for dinner. :)
