Friday today in Yukon

Today is October 2nd and we have wet snow coming down, I know it won't stick but it sure gives you a shiver and makes you think of what's in store for us northerners. I think I will put a link to this blog on my other server. See if anyone checks it. anyway. we are currently working on jarring up some vegetarian chili. If it works out I could put a recipe on here, and some Pictures. I am also working on learning how to use circular knitting needles, learned it pretty quick, but by God! they are some awkward!! Trying to get back into doing my crafty stuff, but if you've been blocked, then what are you to do? I know one thing, that is I can throw away a lot more of my hoarded "stuff" when I am not feeling creative. But I still recyce as much as possible, I made a bag from plastic grocery bags. Ugly, but it works. K that's it more later.

current events

Just thinkin: I have used the same plastic baggies over and over til they get holes in em' then I use em for storing craft stuff!! have been recycling for 2 years now, seems like we've always recycled pop wine beer bottles for the deposit money. Today I read on someones blog to use shirts for : little girls simple dresses, and then I thought," I could use it to make a bucket hat" since the ones I buy are always too small. anyway, my daily thoughts are always occupied by: how's mom? and what shall we bring for lunch? and what can I make for dinner tonight? and how can I recycle that???

Holy Fiddlesticks!

Wow! it has been eight months since I last put fingers to keyboard on this communications thingy!! anyway, many things have happened. Life just kept going like a wheel in a giant time-peice. There have been births, deaths, marriages. A kaleidascope of emotions flashing by if you stop to think on it too long. I am doing okay,but for the naggy little regular aches and pains which happen to a 40-something year old! Have traveled a bit, just spend each day with my sweetheart, and our bothersome,but extremely cute Shih-tzu Scamp AKA : Scampers, scampie, Rot-dog, and tons of other nick-names. Well, I haven't been doing a whole lot of crafting, but I'll includes some when I do. adieu till next time.

it's a crock

recipe for crock pot chicken= 1 good sized chicken 4 lbs or so, bbq sauce (your fave) chopped onion, garlic, red pepper. We used a PC brand crock pot that has high and low settings and a timer. We rinsed the chicken, put it in pot, dowsed it in bbq sauce, threw the aromatics on and set it for low, we slow cooked for 5 hours. over 6 and it turns into (pull pork type) mush.
Enjoy.

recycled cd case, dusted off and painted.

I'm still here

Just popping in to talk about my world corner= Yukon!! Cold and snowy it's minus 15 celcius out there, and the wind is making it colder. That's about +5 fahrenheight!! Anyway, for those busy individuals: Quick tuna Casserol:: you need: 1 can tuna, 2 cups egg noodles, 1 can cheese or cr. of mushroom soup, 1/2 cup chopped green onions, 1/2 cup grated cheddar. Boil pasta for 8-10 mins, drain and stir in the tuna, the soup(thinned with water) the onions, the cheese. Mix all and add to a brownie pan and top with more cheddar. Bake 350 F for 35 mins or until bubbly and brown on top. Yummy and easy!!! good combination when you're tired. Enjoy!!
