Craft and Cocktail Party

So the craft and cocktail party was a success! No one finished, it took a lot longer than we had thought but was so fun and they were turning out great!!! My niece even helped by passing everyone strips of fabric ;) We used 4 main colors of fabric, red w/ white pok-a-dots, pink leopard print, light pink,  and red with dots and hearts.  Then we cut up a bunch of my Grandma's old quilting fabric my mom had been holding onto. 


I will post pictures of my finished wreath as soon as I get a wreath hanger and get it up on the door.  We had snacks and yummy mango vodka cocktails.  Can't wait for our next project!

What's cooking Thursday night at Crafty Welder Chick's house?

I LOVE The Pioneer Woman! I repeat I LOVE THE PIONEER WOMAN!!!!! If you haven't checked out her blog please do.  http://thepioneerwoman.com/  I am always cooking recipes from her blog.  Last night it was pantry pasta for two.  I loved it, my man loved it and my best friend (who is preggo) loved it! So we had pantry pasta for three.  http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2011/01/pantry-pasta-for-two/ .  It was soooooo good!  but that's what we had last night, tonight I will be attempting the Beef with snow peas from her site.  http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2010/10/beef-with-snow-peas/  I love snow peas!!!!  and will let you know how it turns out.

Well the plans for yummy beef and snow peas have been postponed.  I was out shopping for craft supplies for Crafts and Cocktails day to late.  So we had Flank steak with garlic wine sauce instead.  I did not make the roasted garlic though, like I said I got home pretty late so all I did was sear the steak in a cast iron skillet and cook until done.  We ate this on a nice big salad with homemade croutons.
