“What do I do if I’m not chasing anything,
What do I do if I’ve got everything that I need,
It’s a question that no one’s prepared me to answer.”

Luckily my friend Viva opened my eyes to Pinterest the other day. So I can now make digital wish lists and inspiration boards. So now I’ll always be on top of those things I really need. Like the ice-cream making attachment bucket for my Kitchen aid Mixer. Just saying!
Oh what fun I had making tee-shirt yarn this week. I also made many projects out of the yarn but I will save those for another post. Making tee-shirt yarn is such a great way to recycle dingy tees from your own collection or take advantage of dollar days at your local thrift store. I personally super deluxe love to thrift shop. On those days when I don’t have anything in particular in mind to hunt for I’ll often just pick up mens’ extra large tees and cut them into yarn when I return to my studio.

After reading the book Hattie Big Sky I have been uber inspired to use what I have in my pantry and freezer and add only fresh veggies, milk and eggs. My first day of this I whipped up a really delicious baked pasta dish. The tall one asked where I found the recipe! Ha – invented out of ingredients I had on hand. I also made home made biscuits. They didn’t really rise and didn’t look that great but they tasted fantastic. For desert I made a baked cream of wheat pudding that received rave reviews from all! I love being limited – it really makes me so creative. I am also now working on raised bed planter boxes to grow veggies – thanks Hattie Big Sky for the inspiration!
