I Like Thursday # 485 and a new year

 

ahhhhh new year, new week, new list of likes! Starting with some beautiful dried grasses and blue sky

I have a few likes &  a few images to share so let's get going!

I do have a short list of things I want to do this year, but let's start with a comic


morning coffee in my fave Mary Engelbreit mug. Plus as my friend Cindy said, hydrate before you caffeinate so my pretty glass of water


high chairs

how fast must they have been running to throw and insole!!!LOL

no need for a fire, the hot temps (78 F in Jan, in Denver will have the same affect)

We watched the Madam Blanc  holiday special and it was as charming as ever (we've seen all the episodes available to us)

We've been cooking and baking... tried chicken enchiladas for the first time

boil boneless chicken thighs, then shred meat, layer whole wheat tortillas in pan, Mexican cheese grated, enchilada green sauce. Repeat layers three times then bake til bubbly. 

We made zucchini bites again, Grate three small zucchini, let rest in a colander with some salt and squeeze water out. Mix with  1 cup of cheese (pepper jack for us) chives, two eggs (whites only for us) spices like garlic and onion powder, spoon into mini muffin tin (24) and bake about 35 min at 350F

SO good even leftover as a snack or side

trying to walk twice a day... snow is still on the tallest peaks but melted in the foothills





Moon is almost full... don't get tangled up in these trees or life 


new bathroom rug is plush and was on sale at Khols
amazing how one new thing lifts your spirits


I want to talk to friends more often this year, want to chat? 

I would like to sift through my quilting books and let some go to a new home

I want to use my supplies to make things that are pretty and fun to make

Finished this table runner 
would like to resume painting and drawing this year , write more, try more crafts, you know.... 

I am planning to start a craft/art link party this year, I'll provide prompts but still trying to figure out whether to do it once a month or more often. You can do any craft based on the prompts and more details to come maybe in a month or so, as I hope to do two sewalongs starting in Jan.

Oh LeeAnna I loved all of the pretty photos in your post. I’m going to try to do the SAHRR and some Project Quilting as well. I’ve even got my I like post done this week! How’s that for a new year beginning? Happy New Year and I’ll look forward to the new link up. 🤗 Carol
