Feenie's Quinoa, Green Bean and Tomato Salad

My friends, @MashedThoughts and @Seapotato, bought me Rob Feenie's Casual Classics for my birthday this year.  I was recently introduced to quinoa and loved it, so naturally, the recipe that caught my eye in the book was the Quinoa, Green Bean, and Tomato Salad.

Amy H's Cowl Scarf Project

I had the pleasure of interviewing my good friend, Amy H, on her cowl scarf project.

Amy H's cowl scarves for her parents.
The left was made for her dad and the right was made for her mom.
Since the scarves were made for her parents, she made them more snug than a typical cowl scarf to provide more warmth.

Party It Up Bollywood Style!

My sister got married this summer. For her bridal shower, we hosted a Bollywood theme party in my basement.  So of course, it wouldn't be much of a Bollywood party without some fun and flashy decorations!

Both pillow sizes were $1.99 from IKEA.
One of the bridesmaids and I made some colourful throw pillows for everyone to sit on. I also drew some elephants to decorate the walls.

Elephants made with poster paper, glitter glue, and sequins
