Favorite Things Friday

Happy Friday!
I wrote this two Fridays ago and it didn't make it on the blog.

This is what I am digging lately--
Calling all online shoppers, or lovers of pretty things, or anyone! One Kings Lane has designer products at dirt cheap prices. Sales last one day and there are limited number of items. They sell home decor, kitchen, fine art, outdoor, food, wine...

I haven't bought anything yet (dp and I are usually on a tighter budget in the summer) but I've come close at least 7 times. Really cool sight, you will love.

Long Pendant necklaces.I went through a big chunky necklace phase a couple years ago. Done with that. In with long, delicate pendants. Leah got me this A necklace for christmas and I wear it at least twice a week. I'm slowly collecting many more like it. (-- hint -birthday suggestion)

Dp got me these little earrings as a little treat. I could own this store and not be satisfied. I love all the little creatures. Good husband knows what I like and got me the little hedgehog too. Presh.


Cooking Adventure
So this cook challenge is actually exciting. I like impressing dp with my "skills." Just give me some cumin and watch out. We also made our own chimichuri. Unbelievable. Really. I'm also loving frozen meals that fill in the gaps on nights when I am just d.o.n.e.

When we moved into our house, in 2009, our dear navy friends (hey Gauls!) gave us a little housewarming gift card. I hoarded it. Thought about selfishly spending it on clothes... BUT I finally decided on a grill pan. Love it! We use it almost every night, and made our wonderful Chimi Flank steak on it, and dp can't get enough of paninis. I suggest a grill pan.

Yarn Balls
*UPDATE- So here is my little craft. I found this bowl/candle holder/?? at Ikea and began thinking about what could I put in it. I know there are all sorts of decorative balls out there, but I cringe at thinking of spending 10 bucks for a ball of twigs. Hence the yarn.

Can I say that rolling yarn balls is relaxing? AND cute! I want yarn balls everywhere. :) A testament to me actually having feline DNA?

Lots of weekend stuff going on. I guess I've had a long enough writing break and can return to the blogging world. And maybe I can work on an exciting project that you all might enjoy!! It is something you can really sink your teeth into.
