Clouds popped up yesterday. They said we would have thunderstorms, but looks more like dust to me. Boo! Oh well! I am safe and sound inside happily crafting and cooking the day away! And a cloudy, dreary days calls for soup!
I am all about quick and easy. Drizzle olive oil in a pot and saute 2 chopped onions, 2 cloves of garlic and one chopped bell pepper. Add 2 cans of chopped tomatoes, 4 cups of vege stock and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Cover and simmer for about 20 minutes. Let cool a bit, then blend in batches using your handy dandy blender. Add back to your pot then add 2 cans of cannelini beans and heat through. You may need to add s&p to taste. Serve with crusty bread. I used farmhouse bread spread with a bit of olive oil, garlic salt, parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese and a dash of Italian Seasoning. Yum!
Inspired by a gift I received from Jan at A Journey, I altered a couple of small, inexpensive notebooks. Today I will be meeting my friend, Leslie, so one of these will be gifted to her.
More matchbox makeovers and another Sugar Spun Doily on the hook. Love this eggplant color.
I also made a lazy day cobbler yesterday.
The perfect treat to end a lovely day! Hope all is well in your little corner of the world. Wishing you health and happiness. Friendship blessings, Tammy

My husband brought me Rooibos tea from South Africa where it was a standard every day at breakfast. It is different but I enjoy it and found some here in an international shop. I love your little matchboxes all dressed up, and the soup looks delicious and healthy! Enjoy your week at home!
Hi Tammy! Those matchboxes with the bit of doily are so sweet, and the soup recipe sounds delish! We start spring break tomorrow and staying in p.j.s and crafting sounds perfect :) xoxo

Yes, the sky looks kinda wierd in the photo, like smoke.
You can tell by your post that you have a little bounce in your step now that you're on spring break. Wish I could of joined you for some soup and cobbler. It looked yummo! Love your mini projects and that color yarn is lovely. Enjoy your day with Leslie. She's gonna love her specially made gifts.
I wrote on the previous post the other day but forgot to log in to my account. Then I got distracted and just totally forgot that I wrote. I seriously need a brain scan. Enjoy your break.
OOoh! Safe, sound & crafting on a gloomy day is just about my favorite thing, Tammy! Happy Spring Break, too--can't wait for ours--a couple of weeks off, yet.
