1st Snow!!!

Today we woke up to...
Snow!!!!
Such an early surprise! But we will defiantly take it!
Since moving to Wisconsin i have defiantly found a love for snow!
Yes i do enjoy looking at it from the nice warm inside!
 But i guess that's better then hating it!
Besides, I live in Wisconsin where we have snow 6months out of the year!

Oh, and we didn't just get a little bit. 
Here's a picture at 11am.
We actually lost power and internet shortly after this picture was taken. 
It didn't turn on until after 1pm.

Here's some pictures from 2pm.
Thankfully they did plow the road! 
At 2pm they estimated 4.6 inches of snow on the ground! 
Now an hour later they say we have a total of 5.2 inches and are expecting another 2 inches.
The power also keeps flickering on and off but the end of snow is in sight!
 It's supposed to stop snowing later tonight! 

Day's like today makes me so thankful for my crock pot! 
Tonight we are having Vegetable Beef Stew and...
Honey Wheat Bread!!

I hope your staying warm!

Till Next Time,

Zibbet Shop

This past week I opened a Zibbet Shop!!
It's very similar to Etsy(but without the fees for sellers) in that you can purchase or sell unique handmade or vintage items!!
Be sure to stop by my shop and let me know what you think!

This week I've also been working on a custom order!
 Pictures will be coming soon since I am finishing it up today!
But be prepared to fall in love with it! 

How would you like to Win a Small Reversible Bag
Well your chance will be Coming Soon!!
Later this month I plan on Giving Away 1 Small Bag!
 But first i need to find the perfect fabric! Any ideas?
I really do love these bags! They are perfect for everything!
And who knows, maybe i'll even throw in some coordinating Rosette Flowers!
Till Next Time,

Been Busy!

We have been kinda busy!
Between finishing up sewing projects, keeping up with housework, and entertaining a 2 year old our life has been fun!
But i love my life so i honestly can't complain!

For Halloween Jack was Peter Pan! 
Unfortunately i don't have a picture of just him and his costume :~( 
But hopefully the sun will come out soon and we can take some pictures outside!
But i think he enjoyed being Peter Pan!

I am also happy to announce that my Hubby was officially hired on by Sturm Foods!! 
For the last 3 months he was considered a temporary hire but now he has a "real" job!! Yay!! 

Here's a few picture of Jack & I goofing around in the car!
He is such a cutie!
Hope you have a great day!

Till Next Time,

Finished Projects & New Items

Well, I've been busy!! 
I've accomplished so many sewing projects today!
 But of course that means our apartment is a mess.
 Isn't that how it always works?
Thankfully my hunny works tonight so hopefully he won't notice the mess as he heads out the door! lol

So here's a look at what I've been doing!
 I am sending these items over to Kristin at Kozy Kuddlers by KAL!! 
I was hoping to have a few more items made but unfortunately i ran out of time. 
But there's always next year! 
I love this bag! It turned out so nice!

I've also added a few New Items to the Shop!!

I LOVE this scarf!! 
It's really breaking my heart to have to put this scarf in my shop since i DON'T want to share it!!
But thankfully i know where to buy more fabric! ;~)
 I LOVE scarf knots!
 I don't know why but i think they add something unexpected to your outfit!
Plus this scarf is perfect for the classic look!
Or something different!
I just love how it's long and eye catching!

This is another great scarf! 
Perfect for the classic and fashion forward outfits!
And it's great for knots!!
This scarf is 10in wide and roughly 65" long!

Both these scarfs come in other colors!

Colors: (Pictured)Grey, Hot Pink Zebra Print, Green, Brown Polka Dots. 
Other colors available: (Not Pictured)Aqua Blue, Hot Pink, Brown, and Black.
 
I've also added:

Spinach Chicken Enchiladas

These Spinach Chicken Enchiladas are sooo YUMMY!!!
I bet your asking yourself "Spinach in Enchiladas?" but trust me, they are totally worth trying!!

So here is what you'll need:

2-4 boneless chicken breasts
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 tsp garlic, minced
1 package(10 ounce) frozen spinach,thawed and well drained
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
1 cup sour cream
3/4 cup chicken broth
seasonings
2(or more) cups shredded cheese
8 flour tortillas
fresh parsley


Start off by boiling your chicken in water.
 I prefer to add my choice of seasoning(salt, pepper, cumin, cayenne pepper, onion and garlic powder) and make my own broth. 
Another option would be to cook the chicken in oil over medium heat until the chicken is no longer pink.
Once the chicken is cooked you can start shredding it!
Then chop your onion.
Put it in a large bowl and add some:
I forgot to add it into the main picture! Sorry!
Next you can add the can of soup, sour cream and chicken broth.
Be sure to mix it up well and then add the spinach! 
Since i had extra parsley(and i LOVE it) i went ahead and add a 1/2 cup along with the spinach.

Here's what your sauce should look like now!
Now place some chicken on a tortilla.
Then spoon some sauce over it.
Next you can add some cheese!
Then you will want to roll your tortilla and place in a greased pan.
Once your pan is full you will then spoon the remaining sauce over the top!
Be sure to place a layer of tin foil over the top and then place the pan in a preheated 375* oven for 30-40mins. 
Once your enchiladas are heated through you can pull them out and add a layer of cheese over the top! Then place the uncovered pan back in the over until the cheese is melted. 
 Yum!
Be sure to sprinkle some Parsley over the top and enjoy with some Sour Cream!
 I really hope you enjoy these! They are a now favorite here!!

Till Next Time,
Kate
