I just finished quilling a cherry blossom card

I'm back on track. This is what my afghan looks like so far:

I've been very intrigued by paper quilling for quite some time now. I finally gave-in and purchased a quilling kit over the weekend and I'm hooked!  

Here are my first 2 attempts:

A sunflower:



and an orchid:



They're not perfect, but they were loads of fun to make and I can't wait to get started on a third design  

Edit: Just finished my third card - a cherry blossom card

[Mushroom Soup]

The tomato soup with ricotta dumplings and the John Wayne Casserole look yummy!

I made Mushroom Soup
Recipe found here:

The soup was very nice and it's definitely something I'll be making again in the future!

Icekibby - those teeny tiny books are fab! 

My most recent find - I added a matchbox in the corner for size reference.
I think it's going to be teeny tiny - will see what I can do with it.

I made a "30 reasons why I love you" jar for Valentines day.

katara, how will you attach the next row? I can't wait to see!

I've started attaching a second row...

[Gluten-free Sweet Potato Hash with Eggs]

Gluten-free Sweet Potato Hash with Eggs



Recipe link: http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/gluten-free-sweet-potato-hash-eggs#

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe out at first but I was pleasantly surprised! The sweet potato goes amazingly well with the egg yolk. In my opinion it's at it's nicest when the yolk is still runny. I made my fried eggs sunny-side-up. I will definitely be making this again-and-again!

I'm pinning the cauliflower soup - sounds tasty!

Alwaysinmyroom - I really like the look of your scarf so far :-)

Here's an update of my mood-and-sky blanket. Realised that I need to start weaving in ends otherwise its going to be a nightmare later on...

[CARROT RICE]

I made some CARROT RICE and some CHUTNEY CHICKEN

Chutney Chicken: http://site.heartrecipes.mobi/node/58

The carrot rice was easy to make and tasted great!! I think it would make a nice accompaniment to a stir-fry. I followed the method on the rice packet to cook the rice. I didn't have cayenne pepper so I added some chilli flakes and I used a purple onion instead of a normal onion ('cause it's all I had). I would definitely be making this again!

The chutney chicken tasted great too! I used 4 drumsticks and halved the recipe. It was quick and easy to make and this recipe is a keeper too!

Only thing I would change is I wouldn't serve the carrot rice and chutney chicken together. I don't think the flavours complimented each other well...

hgddm - The fried goat's cheese and butterbean recipe is on my list to try
