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.

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

Coming Soon!

Projects made by friends of Winnie's Corner will be featured.

My Ugly Christmas Sweater

A couple of years ago, my workplace had an ugly Christmas sweater theme party.  After rummaging my closet and coming up with nothing, I decided to make my own!  To make good use of my sweater, I am hosting an ugly Christmas sweater party this year.  I am dedicating this post to all my good friends who will be coming to my party in a few weeks.  Happy early Christmas!

Apple Bread Pudding

Apple Bread Pudding

The first time I tried bread pudding was this year at UBC's Blueberry Festival.  It was delicious!  I decided to make it this past weekend.  Unfortunately, I didn't have any blueberries in my fridge, so I opted to use apples instead.  I found this relatively simple recipe on Allrecipes.ca.
