hmm, what to do?

Today I woke up highly motivated, why I have no clue but i'm glad it finally happened. Considering for the past few months I have been trying to figure my life out and do something. But anyways, I woke up and decided I was going to tackle a craft today. Unfortunately it ended up not working and the way I wanted and was uber frustrating. My plan was to fix up one of the frames that I bought for a dollar way back when and I wanted it to look similar to this...


found it on pinterest
(if you are feeling really pinteresty you can follow me here I literally spend all my free time on there)

but the yarn didn't look anywhere near this good so I decided to take another 
route, I recovered the frame and made a little project to go inside....
and this is what it ended up looking like...


I'm not a fan of the inside part and I will probably end up changing it, 
but for now it shall stay.

And for dinner I was still feeling productive so I looked up recipes on pinterest (hehe) and found one that I had all the ingredients for or at least that I could improvise with. Also anyone who knows me, knows that i'm an extremely picky eater but I decided to try this (even though it has pasta, aka i'm not a pasta fan) I ended up picking Creamy Grilled Chicken Piccata ...



It was a bit too much lemon for me and if I ever make it again I will take out most of the lemon juice, but it is definitely worth a try.


Now I shall play spider solitaire until I fall asleep :)

Hope everyone has a fantastic and beautiful weekend as I have.

The Beginning...

I'm really excited to start this blog, i've always wanted a blog and I just never did it until today. My friend Jackie help me set it up (you can find her here http://sweetcarolinaqueen.blogspot.com/). I'm still trying to learn how to work this thing, so bear with me. :) I created this blog so I could share DIY projects and things that I find out the internet.
