Fall Yarn Wreath!

I finally finished my Fall wreath! I started it a couple weeks ago. It looks exactly how I wanted it to, I really like it a lot!!!

I started with some very soft and somewhat fuzzy Lion Brand pumpkin-orange yarn and wrapped it around a foam circle.

Made some felt flowers with my hot glue gun...

Wrapped the circle with skinny brown ric-rac...

Hot glued the ric-rac on the back of the wreath...

Almost done!

 Hot glued the felt flowers and a sprig of deep red berries and hung it with a ribbon!

I'm super proud of how it turned out. I think it's just darling!

Oven-Fried Zucchini Chips, Basil Dipping Sauce & Star Biscuits

I am terribly behind in blogging, so here is a recipe I actually made a few weeks ago. And we had an amazing sunset the other night, and here is a picture of it! So beautiful.

My mom also gave me a few dahlias from her garden and I just had to take a picture of how pretty they were.

Ok, so I realize this is dinner is not completely nutritious, but it was yummy just the same. I found a yummy-looking recipe on Pinterest for these scrumptious oven-fried zucchini chips. You can find the recipe here. I omitted the onion powder because I didn't have any and these came out super delicious! I would make them again, for sure. The basil dipping sauce, not so much. We thought the zucchini chips were great all by themselves. I got a little creative and put the sauce in a hollowed out part of the zucchini (we had a very large zucchini from my mother-in-law's garden!).

Before cooking...

 I also had some quick-biscuit dough that I've been meaning to use forever, so I finally put it to good use and made biscuits in the shape of my star cookie-cutter. They were very fun to eat! Mmmm. I put honey on mine. :)

Aren't they beautiful?! Mmmmm.

Here is Niall's plate...

And mine!

A very fun dinner indeed!

Niall's Monkey Rice Warmer

With the weather getting cooler, I decided to make hot rice packs for Niall and I. He doesn't have one and his feet get cold so easily, and my old rice sock is, well, old. I haven't made mine yet, but here is Niall's! I think the little monkeys are way cute, and it fits his personality (and his nickname!). So here are Monkey's monkeys!

 I got my inspiration for this rice warmer from this website. I had a really hard time sewing straight lines for each compartment, but I don't think it really matters. It's hard to keep the rice from coming out while you are trying to sew!

It's finished! Now I need to make one for myself because I keep stealing Niall's.

I don't know if you can tell, but this thing turned out to be super long! Luckily, Niall has big feet! :)

Mini Chicken Pot Pies

I made these little chicken pot pies for dinner last night and they were so tasty! And we still have some leftovers. They were a fair amount of work, so I don't know if I have the patience to make them again, but they sure are cute! I used this recipe as a guide.

Mmmmmmm! They were so good! :) And I got to use some of my home-grown tarragon. And right now we're sitting in front of a fire (for the third night in a row!) and watching some Grey's Anatomy. A nice way to spend a Friday evening. :)
