Roasted Citrus Herb Ginger Garlic Chicken


Super long name but super yummy chicken.
Maybe I'll change the name, But for now I like it :)
Dear Hubs loved it, I wanted the tops to be a little bit browner but any longer in the oven and it would have been dry because of the type of pan I used. Next time deeper pan. I was not happy with the "out of the oven" pic so here is a leftover bowl pic :)
Super juicy and nummmy!!!
I'll scan the recipe from my book in my next entry :)

Braided rug fun.



















I spent the better half of my Sunday afternoon working on a braided rug. I prepared the fabric for it about a month ago but finally got around to starting it. I plan on making it a little bit bigger still, maybe another 6-8 inches. Hopefully this weekend I will have time to work on it again.
I am loving the finished look of it :)
That's about it in the craft world lately.

Rearranging and Organization



So past couple of days I spent rearranging the apartment and organizing stuff. As well as homework and sewing :) Finally getting our computer/craft/hobby room organized got me in the mood to make some new makeup bags and such. They are still in progress but I will be putting them up on my (neglected for so long) Etsy shop.
Here is something I finished today that I will be sending to a friends daughter. It's about 8x6 1/2 all cotton and the anchor is embroidered on baby blue felt and the other lil bubbles are the same felt as well., with a button closure. It makes me think of her and I hope she likes it :)
Also helped the hubby update his resume today and post it, and man it was a pain trying to get it posted onto monster for some reason.
Anyway, beautiful fall weather out, an evening walk would be nice fer sure.
And I have been craving bread pudding, but not just any bread pudding my late Mumsie's bread pudding and I think I have finally figured out all the ingredients so we shall see how it turns out....Fingers crossed =D

Yay Fall!


Fall is definitely here. It's super chilly out, we had to close up all our windows and storm windows today cause it's chilly in the apartment. I had a fun filled day of homework, Gotta stop putting it off till the last minute like this. But all done and ready to turn in tomorrow so it's all good. Now I can watch the VP debate and get some crafting in too! I should finish my one unfinished wrist warmer so I can wear them. And here is a pic of the purse I finished a couple of days ago. I got the cute rainbow heart fabric from Joann's in the red tag section and the lining and handle is red cotton, I still have not added some kind of closure because I am debating on a snap or a button, we shall see. And my sewing is getting better too :) Less rushed and neater! Yay for that.
