what i want - to make something

it's too clean in here ...

bits of my weekend - spring cleaning

 

bone feather earrings - alexkeller

 

The flowers are blooming, so I'm getting an urge to clean things up.

I did a little cleaning in our office recently and started on my blog reader.

With Google Reader going away, I decided to switch to feedly.

My work space is all cleaned up, too, so I'm making jewelry again.

And once I get around to putting winter things away in the garage,

I'll be bringing out some stored vintage housewares to photograph and list.

I'm not one for gardening, but I'm getting an urge to clean up the front yard ...

I might leave that one for some professionals!

what i want - to thank Alicia Silverstone

 

Thanks, Alicia, for including Alex Keller jewelry in your kind Valentine's Day gift guide!

today i made - nutella rice krispie treats

nutella rice krispie treats from The Pioneer Woman

YUM! Thank you Pioneer Woman!
Next time I'll skip the mini marshmallows, I think ....
And my chocolate drizzle just wasn't as pretty -
more like chocolate mess.
But they still taste good.
A little hard, so a quick nuke in the microwave fixes that!

I made some veal with capers over the weekend.

today i made - pasta with smoked salmon and dill

 

 My resolution this year is to cook more.
I never make resolutions. I never keep them.
But I'm determined to keep this one.
I found Donna Hay somewhere sometime ...
Australian, a cook, a food writer and stylist,
and a wonderful General Store.

I made a pasta dish that took no time at all.
Very similar to the lemon and dill smoked salmon pasta.
Delicious! Thanks Donna!
