Fabric

I spludged today! or in other words... invested! I'm trying to get my little boy hats ready to start selling them in some stores in town, so I bought my first round of fabric =) Like what you see? wait until you see what I make out it

Tilapia

For about a year now I have been trying to get our little family to eat healthier. I try to meal plan, buy more organic, go brown (brown rice, noodles, whole wheat bread etc) and now my newest venture- experimenting with healthier meats! *side note- I am not a fish person! I have trouble eating shrimp! so if I can do this- other no-fish-lovers can too!

Last night I made this amazing recipe for Garlic Lemon Tilapia from SkinnyTaste.com. I was surprised at how easy it was to make! it took like 10 min start to finish! Jesse LOVED it- he kept saying "this is REALLY good!" -which doesn't happen that often =) I might of had to squeeze a little extra lemon on mine (and sprinkle some garlic salt on... shhh!) but I found it quite delectable too.

P.S. did I tell you I have a little spice garden growing on my kitchen window sill? Its just starting to get big enough that I could use it on my fish too!

My cilantro is growing like a weed! =D

Today is the day! If you know me personally you know that I am quite opinionated when it comes to politics but that is not what this blog is for! But I still feel like everyone should vote- even if you are one of those who think your vote doesn't matter..... no comment..... Just do it! If you are in Idaho (or like most of the country) polling stations are open from 8am-8pm. Happy Voting everyone!

Design on a Dime

So HGTV has become a recent go-to channel for me. Jesse has been working late this week so in the evenings I've been crafting. When I craft I like to watch TV or a movie but since I have seen all of our movies a million times and our newest Netfix was in the mail I've been stuck with "crap-TV." But then I found a new appreciation for HGTV- now I think I'm in love

One of my favorite shows is Design on a Dime! Its actually something that I could see myself applying in real life (unlike condo hunting in Puerto Vallarta or Paris). I love fashion and style but I love a good deal more. I'm a do-in-yourself-er and a bargain hunter- so of course I would love this show! Every episode the design team has a budget of only $1000 to completely transform a room or part of an apartment. Its AWESOME! My favorite part is when they make their own stuff (which they have to do a lot)- I've been taking a lot of mental notes ;)

So if you are feeling the itch to re-decorate in this bad economy or just need something entertaining to watch- show HGTV some love.

Blog update!

Welcome to my blog update! If you haven't read the "about" page yet, my name is RacHEL but my husband calls me Hell- hence the reason for the new name. I'm going to use this blog to explain my experiences and thoughts about crafting, design, sewing, fashion, baking and anything else I get into. I hope to have a link soon to my new personal family blog. So stay awhile! Look around! Tell your friends about Musings From Hell- And thanks for stopping by!

Not Your Grandma's Wallpaper

In my Blogging I came across this website with free desktop wallpaper that I think is just adorable! Mae is an Australian Graphic designer and I LOVE her aesthetic! I would have arranged them in a better way but I'm on my Mac laptop {sans Adobe} so sorry...

Cute Husband

(Maybe I should get a petti-cure if I'm going to keep taking close ups of my fingers... haha)

I'm not a moring person, never have been, probably never will be. And the other morning I was being more snotty then usual, I was being just cranky and short, and my wonderful husband kept trying not to argue with me and say nice things but nothing made me stop being snotty and unhappy. He went into the kitchen to make his breakfast and go to work like he does every morning and I started getting ready for the day in the bathroom. I thought he had left when he surprised me and popped his head in the bathroom- and handed me this- a little flower he made out of a paper towel and simply said "don't be sad honey- its a beautiful day!" gave me a quick kiss and left for work. I almost started crying! I am so lucky to have such a caring, loving husband even when I'm a jerk to him.

Its been trying to snow lately- bleh. I keep waking up to it looking like this but it all melts off during the day. That makes me happy but then I remember it wont be melting off soon! gurr....

{Have you noticed?.......... I'm on a blogging roll! Lets not jinx is!}
