I think there is something to Lotta’s accidental stacking theory…I had a lot of sinus issues this week, so sudafed was my friend…add in an excedrin for the headache, and I was a puttering/cleaning fool! The upside is that I lost 4 pounds this week, but I think I lost part of Tuesday too…Hey, but at least my floor is shiny!!

I have come up with zip, zero, nada to write about…I tried to cut some aprons this weekend, and I was expertly foiled by two small boys who own big chunks of my heart-that’s playing dirty I tell ya!

So, in lieu of a scathingly brilliant post, I am going to share some of the webby goodness I have come across lately…

I am absolutely SWOONING over these amazing pendants…I can’t decide which one I want!

Who knew waxing could be such fun??? (Besides Kevin that is…)

Where I get a LOT of crafty ideas!

Love, love, love, love, LOVE!!!!

What I only dream of doing someday…

My friend Megan sent me these amazing vintage tablecloths to make aprons and other goodies to sell in her ebay shop. I will be posting my progress once a week or so. If anyone has any ideas or input, I would love to hear it! I was thinking about making aprons, fabric flowers, book slipcovers, ipod/phone cases, and maybe a bag/purse or two…I have a few more pictures of other tablecloths at my flickr site, and will post a lot more pictures of my progress there soon!!

 Last night I made Dijon pork chops from a recipe I found at A Taste of Home. It’s not a recipe really though-I just browned the (well-seasoned)pork chops, removed them from the pan, deglazed the pan with a bit of Chicken Stock, added a heaping tablespoon of dijon mustard, about a cup of half and half, and a bit of wondra to thicken…it made the best sauce/gravy! We made garlic-cheese mashed potatoes, and green beans, and my oldest son had thirds!! This will definitely go into the recipe book as a favorite~
