A little work in progress sneak peek

Plar-nia update

 

Bag update. Faster than I ever expected, I finished the "plarn" bag and am ready to start another!

Plarn-ia

Surely by now you know about plarn? Recycling plastic grocery bags into yarn?
I've done them before, but my mother was bored one day and decided to make a boatload of the stuff. So I am currently working on a crochet market bag of rather epic proportions.
You'll see more of this later.

Easy lunch today.
Paket of miso flavor ramen. Boiled mixed vegetables. Crock potted pork roast.

Crock pot roast pork:
Small roast pork in the pot. Add a nice splash of soy, small splash of rice vinegar, 1tbs minced garlic and 1tsp grated ginger. Leave to cook overnight.

Paper Flower hairclip/pin

I saw this CUTE idea on pinterest. Paper flower
I decided to use an old comic book (seriously, not like a Wonder Woman #1 or anything)
I think it turned out seriously cute! I love it. I put it on a pin back hair clip so I can wear it as a brooch too.

Bento Lunch 1/29/2013

I rarely follow a real recipe. I make a lot of changes when I open my cabinets. Problem is, I rarely remember what I did when it comes out well. So maybe you will enjoy seeing my "recipes" I use too. Keep in mind, I don't often actually measure so measurements are approximate. If you cook the same way I do you don't need to pay much attention to the actual quantities...

Red bean cake from our local Asian grocery. Venison Soboro inspired by the Justbento.com recipe found here. I made some pretty nice changes based on what I had on hand. Meal completed with rice pudding and hard boiled eggs soaked in soy sauce overnight.

Soboro:
In my food processor- 1 inch ginger, 1 TBS minced ginger, 4 baby carrots, 3 green onion, 1/2 cup chunked zucchini. Pureed until baby food consistency.
In my pan- 1TBS sesame oil, sauteed puree for a bit. Added meat and browned. Add splash rice vinegar, 3TBS soy, 3TBS Gyoza. Simmer until sauce is gone and serve on rice.
Easy peasy and YUMMY

Rice pudding:
Never easier.
1 cup cooked rice, 2TBS coconut milk, 1TBS sugar. Stir.
Sprinkle cinnamon, EAT

Just made tonight. A friend wanted something done with one of her son's baby spoons. Being stainless I had a very difficult time with it. But ended up with this very cute charm.

Washer pendant/bracelet

Seems like as good a place as any to start.
I made this pendant by painting a basic hardware store washer with nailpolish. Then I coated with dimensional Mod Podge.  After it was all dry I flipped it over and did the same thing on the other side. LOVE this effect

I found a good tutorial here I can't wait to try it with scrapbook paper!
